The repository contains a simulation dataset, SMAT2022. (Kopp et al, 2020) propose a new dataset, SMT2020, containing characteristics of modern FAB. SMAT2022 is an additional version of SMT2020 including AMHS (Automated Material Handling System). We tried to reflect the details of AMHS in modern FAB.
- As Kopp suggested, This dataset includes four models (HVLM, LVHM, HVLM_E, LVHM_E) with AMHS attributes. Each model is provided in Excel file format (XLSX). We provide the original version of the SMT2020 dataset in a folder named ‘SMT2020’ (or you can access it at https://p2schedgen.fernuni-hagen.de/index.php/downloads/simulation).
- There are eight additional sheets to describe AMHS in modern fabs as follows:
- Address
- Rail
- Bay
- Equipment
- PortType
- Port
- VehicleType
- Vehicle
- ZCU
- Additional specifications about the above sheets are suggested in the file named ‘SMAT_2022_generic_format’.
- Finally, We would like to share a simple simulator that can open these simulation model files. This simulator is a demo version of PINOKIO, Carlo. It is possible to use the simulator by installing ‘Pinokio_Demo.exe’. It only works in Windows environments. For detailed usage, refer to the file ‘PinokioGuide’.
