  • Optimized factory schedule and layout generation
    Patent number: 11635749
    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing factory scheduling, layout or both which represent active factory elements (human and machine) as computational objects and simulate factory operation to optimize a solution. This enables the efficient assembly of customized products, accommodates variable demand, and mitigates unplanned events (floor blockages, machines/IMRs/workcell/workers downtime, variable quantity, location, and destination of supply parts).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 3, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 25, 2023
    Assignee: VEO ROBOTICS, INC.
    Inventors: Patrick Sobalvarro, Clara Vu, Joshua Downer, Paulo Ferreira, Mehmet Ali Guney, Thomas C. Ferree, Alberto Moel, Richard A. Kelsey
