Abstract
In this study, we focus on the material selection and feeding schedule of four kinds of lamination films for the multi-layer automatic film dispensing problem in the polarizer industry process. The material selection is to select the appropriate size of each material film for lamination. The feeding schedule is to find the best sequence of automatic film dispensing for the selected materials.
The scheduler in the plant has arranged the film dispensing manually, which has a great impact on the loss of materials. We develop a particle swarm optimization algorithm and two improved hybrid differential evolutionary algorithms to handle the material selection. The variable neighborhood search is designed to deal with the feeding schedule. The near-optimal solution can be found by iterative search. A series of experiments are designed to compare the search performance of these three swarm search algorithms. Three algorithms can achieve satisfactory results. In the future, these algorithms can be expected to develop the decision support system to the multi-layer film material selection and scheduling problem in the polarizer industry.
