An optimal periodic scheduler for dual-arm robots in cluster tools with residency constraints.

An optimal periodic scheduler for dual-arm robots in cluster tools with residency constraints.

Discusses a scheduling technique, for cluster tools, that addresses postprocessing residency constraints and throughput requirements. The residency constraints impose a limit on the postprocessing time that a material unit spends in a processing module. The technique searches in the time and resourc...
