PRESENTATION ABSTRACT
Electronics assembly can be delivered at competitive market prices only as long as the manufacturing process is continuously improved. With the help of Industry 4.0 and simulation tools Manufacturing companies are mastering: a high degree of variance, continuously shrinking batch sizes, and fluctuations in order volume that are increasingly difficult to predict. The word "simulation" is defined as the computer-based modeling of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. With this definition in mind, it is easy to understand why simulation is ubiquitous in engineering and industrial organizations; imitating a real-world process or system allows experts to study the process or system they are interested in within a controlled environment. Plant simulation enables studies of material flows, bottleneck analysis at an area or line, movement optimization, AGV movement simulations, and resource optimization studies. Process simulation enables studies of processes and operations to optimize sequencing of operations, robot and collaborative robots ("cobot") operations, spatial risk analysis when humans are close to robots and cobots, and ergonomics simulation for optimal human movement. Simulation ensures compliance to Lean Manufacturing methodologies and removal of "waste."
In this presentation, we will review Manufacturing Simulation, and summarize results from three manufacturing simulation case studies performed at an electronics manufacturing plant.
