Abstract

Production and maintenance scheduling within an equipment network is a task whose complexity increases exponentially with the number of products, equipment and tasks. Finding optimal solutions (economic or resource efficient) becomes especially difficult for a human scheduler, even more when taking decisions in short time periods is required. This work addresses the problem of load allocation in real time and cleaning scheduling in a network of industrial evaporators via decision-support tools based on mixed-integer optimization with plant models. The proposed tools take into account the operators’ visualization preferences and they are integrated with the plant supervision system. Apart from providing recommendations for the optimal operation of the network, a semi-automatic model updating system based on historical  operation data is included.
