    Abstract: According to some embodiments, system and methods are provided comprising receiving input including: coordinates of one or more regions to be fabricated on a build plate, a laser boundary for each of two or more lasers, wherein the lasers fabricate the one or more regions, and a processing time for each region; deriving a prioritized sequence of the one or more regions to be fabricated; determining, based on the received coordinates and received laser boundary, one or more potential lasers assignments for each region; determining, based on the determined potential laser assignments, the prioritized sequence of the one or more regions, and the processing time for each region, a laser-to-region sequence for the one or more lasers to fabricate the one or more regions; assigning the determined laser-to-region sequence to the one or more lasers for fabrication of the one or more regions. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    Abstract: A system for building a vehicle system determines cargo and vehicles to carry the cargo from a first location to a second location via one or more vehicle yards disposed between the locations. One or more characteristics of the vehicle yards are determined, as well as different builds of the vehicle system based on the cargo, the vehicle units, and the characteristics of the vehicle yards. The different builds designate different combinations of where the first cargo is carried in a vehicle system that includes the vehicle units and/or where the vehicle units are located relative to each other in the vehicle system. A build of the vehicle system is selected from among the different builds for forming the vehicle system according to the build in order to reduce the time spent handling or processing the vehicle system at another vehicle yard.

    Abstract translation: 用于建造车辆系统的系统确定货物和车辆通过设置在位置之间的一个或多个车辆码头将货物从第一位置运送到第二位置。 确定车辆场的一个或多个特征,以及基于货物,车辆单元和车辆场的特征的车辆系统的不同构造。 不同的构造表示在车辆系统中包括车辆单元和/或车辆单元相对于彼此定位的车辆系统中携带第一货物的不同组合。 从用于形成车辆系统的不同构造中选择车辆系统的构建,以便减少在另一车场处理或处理车辆系统所花费的时间。
