Abstract
This paper deals with the representation of scheduling results and it introduces a new tool for visualization and simulation in time scheduling called VISIS. The purpose of this tool is to provide an environment for visualization, e.g. in production line scheduling. The simulation also proposes a way to simulate the influence of a schedule on a user defined system, e.g. for designing filters in digital signal processing. VISIS arises from representing scheduling results using the well-known Gantt chart. The application is implemented in the Matlab programming environment using Simulink and the Virtual Reality toolbox.
Highlights
Scheduling theory plays an important role in optimization of resources, and is used in many manufacturing and service industries
The main goal of this paper is to present the application for visualization and simulation of scheduling results in the Matlab environment – VISIS (VIsualization and SImulation in Scheduling)
Simulation by VISIS needs approximately 80 % of the time needed for the same example realized using the TrueTime library
Summary
Scheduling theory plays an important role in optimization of resources, and is used in many manufacturing and service industries. The goal of this work is to extend the existing TORSCHE Scheduling Toolbox for Matlab [1] by a new tool for graphic visualization of time schedules. The main goal of this paper is to present the application for visualization and simulation of scheduling results in the Matlab environment – VISIS (VIsualization and SImulation in Scheduling). Two areas of usage are considered: simulation for monitoring the influence of scheduling on the system function (e.g. for digital filters), and time visualization (e.g. graphic represPentation of execution on a production line in time). This tool will be freely available in the version of TORSCHE.
