Abstract

Abstract: A methodology for solving the workcell layout problem is investigated by using an adaptive fuzzy logic controller to assign distance. Relationships within the workcell layout are assumed to be in a poly-tree structure. The desired distance between two pieces of equipment are represented by fuzzy linguistic variables. A heuristic-geometric procedure is applied to fit the workcell layout structure within a workspace. This provides a new workcell layout scheme which permits solution when the design requirements for the layout are in inexact and in vague form, which is typical in preliminary design.
