Learning-Assisted Congestion-Aware Route Scheduling for Semiconductor Fab Material Control Systems
Automated material handling systems in semiconductor fabs are operated by a material control system (MCS) that must schedule a relay route for every transport command online, before execution. This is a data-driven scheduling problem in which route cost is dominated in the upper tail by queueing at heterogeneous, partially observable relay equipment, so route selection requires estimating both…
