Based on the structure of production tasks and equipment energy consumption models, and integrating real-time status sensing and energy monitoring data, a multi-objective optimization algorithm is used to construct a cross-process dynamic scheduling model. The system achieves the following functions:

① Coordination of cycle times and path reconstruction among processes such as stamping, CNC cutting, bending, and welding;

② Load-balanced scheduling of production resources to improve overall equipment utilization;

③ Energy-saving-driven task allocation strategies to achieve precise matching between process cycles and energy loads. The system also incorporates energy supply and auxiliary systems into the scheduling scope. Based on real-time plans, it dynamically adjusts electricity usage strategies, reasonably arranges peak and off-peak loads, and achieves peak shaving, load filling, and efficiency improvement. This mechanism effectively mitigates the impact of energy fluctuations on the stable operation of the factory and significantly reduces energy costs. Through the organic integration of multi-process coordination and resource optimization, the project significantly enhances the flexibility and greenness of complex manufacturing systems, providing systematic technical support for energy saving and carbon reduction in intelligent manufacturing systems.
