Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (FJSSP) stands as one of the most intricate challenges in intelligent manufacturing, demanding coordinated decision-making across interdependent operations. Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) methods, such as Deep Q-Network (DQN) and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), typically rely on single-step action selection based on the current system state. Although these methods have shown effectiveness in short-term scheduling, their one-step decision paradigm limits their ability to maintain temporal consistency across extended scheduling trajectories. This motivates the need for a DRL framework with explicit multi-step decision modeling for complex shop-floor environments. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes an Action Chunking Transformer (ACT)-enhanced DRL framework, which formulates FJSSP as a sequential decision process endowed with multi-step temporal inference. In this framework, the ACT module predicts coherent action chunks from recent state trajectories, allowing agents to plan and execute temporally consistent decisions rather than isolated one-step actions. A confidence-gated control mechanism adaptively balances ACT-generated sequences and conventional DRL policy outputs, ensuring reliable behavior even under environmental uncertainty. A joint optimization strategy is then introduced, integrating DRL learning loss and ACT prediction loss, to promote stable convergence and bidirectional adaptation between the decision and prediction modules. The proposed ACT-DRL architecture is implemented and evaluated using benchmark FJSSP datasets. Comparative experiment results reveal that the ACT-DRL achieved faster convergence, smoother scheduling trajectories, and robust decision.

The feature recognition of cigarette box identification codes is of great significance in avoiding packaging errors of cigarette products. This article designs an automatic recognition system for cigarette box identification codes based on optical character recognition (OCR) technology, which can achieve brand recognition of old cardboard boxes. The system consists of industrial cameras, light sources, industrial control computers, etc. After capturing the image of the cigarette box with an industrial camera, the OCR algorithm is used to identify the identification code in the image and compare it with the brand information in the product library to determine whether the cigarette box is abnormal. The application results show that the recognition accuracy of reused cardboard boxes with blurred identification is 98.9%, which can significantly improve the reuse rate of old cardboard boxes.

2D drawing hotspot links refer to visualizing the BOM structure of a device in a 2D drawing document, and adding more detailed device information to an electronic drawing in the form of hotspot links. According to the model, the management system divides BOM into sub equipment, systems, mechanisms, devices, assemblies, components, and other hierarchical contents according to the hierarchical node structure requirements of different parts. It establishes drawing configuration information corresponding to the equipment parts, and establishes information related to spare parts information corresponding to BOM parts at all levels. 2D drawing hotspot link optimizes the management of drawings and parts data of production equipment, and realizes the tree structure information management of parts at all levels under equipment classification and model. By adding hotspot links to 2D drawings, it is convenient for maintenance personnel to understand the structure of special parts and search for professional terms, saving the usual time of searching through a large amount of materials. In addition, the hot link method can also be directly clicked to apply for spare parts during troubleshooting.
Understanding how the magneto-Rayleigh–Taylor instability (MRTI) scales to the current rise time is vital for Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum driven inertial confinement fusion. Wang et al discovered in prior theoretical work that the perturbation amplitude of MRTI before stagnation increases linearly with the current rise time when the implosion velocity of Z-pinch plasma is held constant. In the present work, three types of wire-array experiments with similar implosion dynamics and constant implosion velocity are performed on an 8 MA pulse power generator to investigate the scaling of MRTI to the rise time. It is successfully accomplished for the first time to obtain the similar wire-array Z-pinch implosions in which the current rise time is scaled up to three times on the generator by controlling the trigger time of its 24 modules. Both the experimental results, which include x-ray radiation pulses and x-ray images of imploding plasmas, and the related numerical analysis have shown that the MRTI before stagnation grows linearly with the rise time, as predicted by the theoretical model.
With the continuous improvement of the complexity and intelligence level of production equipment, the production capacity of production equipment is also increasing. Equipment maintenance and fault warning have become the key to ensuring the normal operation of production equipment units and reducing enterprise operating costs. Due to the complex and closely connected electromechanical structure of production equipment units, there are chain reactions and mutual influences between production equipment unit components, which increases the difficulty of abnormal fault warning for production equipment unit components. However, the accuracy of fault warning methods for production equipment unit components is currently low, resulting in maintenance personnel often not having time to make appropriate equipment rotation maintenance plans.

Cigarette industry enterprises establish a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) to collect and process the operating parameters of equipment in each production workshop. In the local area network, the local time of each equipment and the MES system time will have a large shift, which affects the accuracy of the data collected by the MES system. A time synchronization method of devices in local area network based on MES is proposed to solve this problem. Through the technical solution of Eclipse+Jave, the device can be connected to the MES system to obtain the MES system time which will be set as the local time of the device, so that can greatly reduce the shift between the local time of device and the MES system time. 10 devices were selected to count 8 weeks data of the time shift between them and MES system time before and after using the time synchronization method separately. After using the time synchronization method, the mean value of the time shift between the device local time and the MES system time is reduced by 99.12%, and the overall standard deviation is 0.315, which is much smaller than 37.401 that obtained before using the time synchronization method. Meanwhile, the time shift of the device local time and the MES system time is small, and is stable at about 0.497s.
In fast Z-pinches, rise time of drive current plays an important role in development of magneto-Rayleigh-Taylor(MRT) instabilities. It is essential for applications of Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum (ZPDH), which could be used for drivinginertial confinement fusion (ICF), to understand the scaling of rise time on MRTs. Therefore, a theoretical model for nonlinear development of MRTs is developed according to the numerical analysis. It is found from the model that the implosion distance L = r 0 – r mc determines the development of MRTs, where r 0 is the initial radius and r mc is the position of the accelerating shell. The current rise time τ would affect the MRT development because of its strong coupling with the r 0. The amplitude of MRTs would increase with the rise time linearly if an implosion velocity is specified. The effects of the rise time on MRT, in addition, are studied by numerical simulation. The results are consistent with those of the theoretical model very well. Finally, the scaling of the rise time on amplitude of MRTs is obtained for a specified implosion velocity by the theoretical model and numerical simulations.

Cigarette length deviation is an important index of cigarette quality control. Domestic cigarette machines have no real-time online detection function of cigarette length. The tipping paper used in cigarette manufacturing has the phenomenon of position offset due to the influence of tension or the axial movement of tipping paper tray frame during the operation of the equipment. In order to solve this problem and ensure product quality, this paper designs an intelligent deviation correction device of tipping paper based on visual detection of cigarette length, which can detect the position change of tipping paper in the process of transportation and cutting in real time. The automatic deviation correction and accurate control of tipping paper are carried out through the control circuit, and the automation of position detection and adjustment of tipping paper is realized.
