In manufacturing, the increasing involvement of autonomous robots in production processes poses new challenges on the production management. In this paper we report on the usage of Optimization Modulo Theories (OMT) to solve certain multi-robot scheduling problems in this area. Whereas currently existing methods are heuristic, our approach guarantees optimality for the computed solution. We do not only present our final method but also its chronological development, and draw some general observations for the development of OMT-based approaches.
