Multi-Objective Discrete Brainstorming Optimizer to Solve the Stochastic Multiple-Product Robotic Disassembly Line Balancing Problem Subject to Disassembly Failures

Robots are now widely used in product disassembly lines, which significantly improves end-of-life (EOL) product disassembly efficiency. Most of the current research on disassembly line balancing problems focuses on decomposing one product. More than one product can be disassembled concurrently, whic...

description Robots are now widely used in product disassembly lines, which significantly improves end-of-life (EOL) product disassembly efficiency. Most of the current research on disassembly line balancing problems focuses on decomposing one product. More than one product can be disassembled concurrently, which can further improve the efficiency. Moreover, uncertainty such as the depreciation of EOL products, may result in disassembly failure. In this research, a stochastic multi-product robotic disassembly line balancing model is established using an AND/OR graph. It takes the precedence relationship, cycle constraint, and disassembly failure into consideration to maximize the profit and minimize the energy consumption for disassembling multiple products. A Pareto-improved multi-objective brainstorming optimization algorithm combined with stochastic simulation is proposed to solve the problem. Furthermore, by conducting experiments on some real cases and comparing with four state-of-the-art multi-objective optimization algorithms, i.e., the multi-objective discrete gray wolf optimizer, artificial bee colony algorithm, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II, and multi-objective evolutionary algorithm based on decomposition, this paper validates its excellent performance in solving the concerned problem.
