description <p dir="ltr">A hybrid model predictive control formulation with continuous and discrete variables that models multiple crushed-ore stockpiles per conveyor-belt is proposed for better conveying and stockpiling performance. The aim is to minimize the inventory level or holdup squared deviations from targets by varying the fill-time, idle-time, or run-length of the shuttle-conveyor-belts’ tripper-cars over multiple stockpiles’ positions (the discrete actuation or manipulated variable). In the problem, amounts of crushed-ore dropped by gravity from conveyor-belts fill up the upper-level of the stockpiles considering quality balances to specify blended ore by the mixtures of the material dropped by synchronized shuttle-conveyor-belts’ tripper-cars. The problem is solved as a mixed-integer quadratic programming (MIQP) that uses <i>amount-of-quality</i> balances as a linear (LP) approximation, tightening the MIQP-solutions to schedules of simultaneous blending of different quality shuttle-conveyor-belts’ raw materials. Results of the initialization and steady-state stages of the inventory-control and logistics-quality optimization highlight the modeling and solution strategies.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Computers & Chemical Engineering<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compchemeng.2023.108388" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compchemeng.2023.108388</a></p>
