Abstract
Cyber-physical production systems are a key solution in the Industry 4.0 age. Still, the advantages of using them are not always easyly presented with numbers. In this paper, the task of arranging a cyber-physical material flow system is addressed as a multi-objective optimization problem and a genetic algorithm is used to search for a Pareto front of optimal layouts. As an example of such a material flow system, a decentralized modular conveyor, which was developed at the Institute of Transport and Automation Technology at Leibniz University Hannover, is used.
