The Laboratory on Engineering and Management Intelligence (EMI) of SZTAKI (the laboratory to represent SZTAKI in the Smart Automation project) is involved in research and elaboration of techniques applicable to handling complex production and business systems working in the uncertain, changing environments, with special emphasis on artificial intelligence and machine learning approaches.
The main research goals of the laboratory are as follows:
• modelling, control and optimization of technical and business processes,
• handling changes and disturbances in complex systems
• advanced production planning and scheduling
• distributed modelling of extended enterprises and production networks
• modelling and simulation of large production and business systems, digital factories
In large-scale national R&D projects the Laboratory has been involved in industry-oriented research on the field of production planning, scheduling and the management of supply networks. During the past 5 years we have developed generic models and methods for project-oriented, finite-capacity production planning and applied them in pilot production planners developed for the power and machine industries. Our research results in constraint-based scheduling have been integrated into a hierarchical production planner and scheduler system developed for the power industry. The detailed production scheduler developed for one of the world’s largest electric bulb factory started its daily operation in May, 2006. Currently we work also on handling and controlling production disturbances of this factory, as well as on coordinating its supply network that includes leading Hungarian packaging material providers. The Laboratory has extensive experience in factory simulation that has been acquired in various industrial projects.
The Laboratory lead by Prof. László Monostori has about 20 members including 9 colleagues with PhD degree (three of them having also MBA). In the period of 2001-2006 members of the Laboratory published 52 journal papers, 6 book chapters, and 118 conference papers, as well as edited 8 books. The number of international citations in the above period is over 500.
