Graphical user interface design and algorithm integration of a resource coordinator for resilient manufacturing systems

Abstract

Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) allow users to interact and perform actions easily, without the need to know programming. They bring ease and convenience to users in modifying input settings. This project aims to create a GUI via PyQt for a resource coordinator of a resilient manufacturing system. Resilient manufacturing systems ensure continuous, smooth production despite facing disruptions in the systems. The algorithms to implement a resilient manufacturing system are integrated in the GUI. The corresponding resource management results and scheduling graphs are displayed to the user. The report provides a detailed description and explanation of the GUI and algorithms.
