Description
Summary:Disassembly of scrap product is a necessary procedure of products recycling and reusing, which is an important part of whole life cycle of the products. Scrap product disassembly process planning can reduce the cost of disassembly operation. It can also improve operation efficiency and the enterprise competitiveness. A new improved algorithm is developed based on the basic ant colony algorithm, which is poisoning ant colony algorithm. Poisoning ant colony algorithm is applied to realize the search and optimization for feasible disassembly sequence solution set with disassembly root diagram. Finally, the optimal sequence is obtained based on evaluation objective function. Toxic environment and life value are also introduced to this algorithm. The characteristics of the algorithm are preferable search and convergence property.
