description | Abstract To facilitate flexible manufacturing, modern industries have incorporated numerous modular operations such as multi-robot services which can be expediently arranged or offloaded to other production resources. However, complex manufacturing projects often consist of multiple tasks with fixed sequences, posing a significant challenge for smart factories in efficiently scheduling limited robot resources to complete specific tasks. Additionally, when projects span across factories, ensuring faithful execution of contracts becomes another challenge. In this paper, we propose a modified combinatorial auction method combined with blockchain and edge computing technologies to organize project scheduling. Firstly, we transform efficient resource scheduling into a resource-constrained multi-project scheduling problem (RCPSP). Subsequently, the solution integrates combinatorial auction with random sampling (CA-RS) into smart contracts. Alongside security analysis, simulations are conducted using real data sets. The results indicate that the suggested CA-RS approach significantly enhances efficiency and security in resource arrangement within the industrial Internet of Things compared to baseline algorithms. |
