Abstract: As an important enabling tool of intelligent manufacturing, intelligent scheduling has been paid more and more attention. In order to intuitively show the current situation and hot spots of intelligent scheduling research at home and abroad and put forward the development trend in the future, the relevant literature of 2009—2019 in CNKI and web of science is taken as the research object, and CiteSpace software is used to draw the knowledge map of journals, keywords and emergent words respectively. Through a comparative study, the results show that “active scheduling and dynamic scheduling”, “distributed collaborative scheduling”, “real time production schedling based on the industrial internet of things” and “new group intelligent optimization algorithm” are the future development trends in the field of intelligent scheduling.
