The continuous annealing of flat steel improves its properties for applications such as automotive manufacturing. Scheduling these processes on Parallel Heterogeneous Annealing Lines (PHALs) is complex due to diverse coil properties, incompatible process modes, and due date constraints....

This study introduces an approach to improving the utilization of solar energy in facilities by integrating advanced machine learning (ML) techniques into solar power scheduling. Traditional methods, often constrained by static schedules, fail to adequately adapt to the inherently dynamic and...
