Single Runway Dual Overhead Crane Scheduling Engine

Summary

The Single Runway Dual Overhead Crane Scheduling Engine addresses the critical challenge of coordinating two cranes sharing the same runway while avoiding collisions and minimizing idle time. We developed a tailored dynamic programming approach combined with heuristics to generate efficient schedules under real-world industrial constraints. The engine dynamically assigns tasks, incorporates safety buffers, and adjusts to operational uncertainties.

A built-in simulation module evaluates schedule feasibility in real time, ensuring resilience against disruptions. With this capability, factories and warehouses gain a powerful decision support tool that significantly reduces task completion times and improves overall system throughput.
