This paper presents an investigation of three simulation packages: VS7, SIMAN/CINEMA IV, and SIMFACTORY II.5. These packages were investigated with regard to their capabilities of...
Strong competition on the global automotive market is forcing car manufacturers rethink their strategic approach to manufacturing. In order to be competitive, companies need to man...
Simulation techniques have been proven as reliable and powerful tools in the design, development, evaluation and operation of manufacturing systems. The following paper presents a...
The modeling and control flexible-manufacturing workcells (FMCs) has generally been performed in a hierarchical structure, where at the highest level they have been modeled as dis...
This paper describes a modular autonomous material handling equipment solution for flexible automation. Discrete Event Simulation is in this case used as a tool for shortening tim...
