Abstract

Taking a mixed-model assembly workshop as the research object, this paper proposes a material distribution method based on Internet of Things (IOT). Firstly, the material information of each assembly station is monitored in real time by using the IOT technology. Then, a model for the real-time material distribution in mixed-model assembly workshop is built. Aiming at the optimization of the vehicle routing problem, an improved genetic algorithm is designed to solve this model. Finally, the IOT-based material distribution system of mixed-model assembly workshop is developed on the basis of the previous researches.
