Job-shop scheduling is an important but difficult combinatorial optimization problem for low-volume and high-variety manufacturing, with solutions required to be obtained quickly at the beginning of each shift. In view of the increasing demand for customized products, problem sizes are growing. A promising direction is to take advantage of Machine Learning (ML). Direct learning to predict solutions for job-shop scheduling, however, suffers from major difficulties when problem scales are large. In this paper, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) is synergistically integrated within the decomposition and coordination framework of Surrogate Lagrangian Relaxation (SLR) to predict good-enough solutions for subproblems. Since a subproblem is associated with a single part, learning difficulties caused by large scales are overcome. Nevertheless, the learning still presents challenges. Because of the high-variety nature of parts, the DNN is desired to be able to generalize to solve all possible parts. To this end, our idea is to establish 'surrogate' part subproblems that are easier to learn, develop a DNN based on Pointer Network to learn to predict their solutions, and calculate the solutions of the original part subproblems based on the predictions. Moreover, a masking mechanism is developed such that all the predictions are feasible. Numerical results demonstrate that good-enough subproblem solutions are predicted in many iterations, and high-quality solutions of the overall problem are obtained in a computationally efficient manner. The performance of the method is further improved through continuous learning. Note to Practitioners - Scheduling is important for the planning and operation of job shops, and high-quality schedules need to be obtained quickly at the beginning of each shift. To take advantage of ML, in this paper, a DNN is integrated within our recent decomposition and coordination approach to learn to predict 'good-enough' solutions to part subproblems. To be able t

In this paper is presented implementation of a lightweight supervisory control and data acquisition system for remote test stations as a part of a larger test house in the automotive industry. It is necessary to allow remote set up and monitoring of the test stations, which means defining the structure of a system with numerous test stations as endpoints. The test stations are meant to be virtual machines but can be both virtual and physical machines. A communication protocol must be used that enables this within the organization's network, regardless of actual distance and location. The parameters of the test stations to be monitored can be defined according to the needs and purpose. Even when creating your own tool, this function is not unique, i.e. on one test station parameters of operating system resources such as memory usage can be monitored, while on another test station logged-in users or running programs, reported system errors and others must be monitored. Data storage is one of the mandatory functions of this system. This process allows viewing data throughout history and more detailed analysis of events. There are numerous benefits that can be drawn and used from the data stored in the database. It is necessary to pay attention to the data stored as well as the scope and retention throughout history. The correct and secure setup of a database is one of the prerequisites for any serious system that processes data. Appropriate views should be created for users involved in the data monitoring process using all the elements mentioned so far. Creating a visually acceptable and easy-To-use interface that serves the main purpose is the final presentation of the entire system to users. A complete system leads to higher productivity, profitability and better organization of the company. It also allows project managers to better plan the use and occupancy of test stations. At any time, they have insight into the status of individual test stations, their activitie
