An effective discrete artificial bee colony algorithm for multi-AGVs dispatching problem in a matrix manufacturing workshop

作者：

Highlights：

• We study a new multi-AGVs dispatching problem from a matrix manufacturing workshop.

• We set up a mathematical model to minimize the transportation cost.

• We propose a discrete artificial bee colony algorithm with advanced techniques.

• We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm by practical instances.
