A Virtual Factory
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a virtual factory in which almost any manufacturing process can be deened, modelled, and then carried out. The results of this are designs of the components manufactured (in the form of geometric models) and part programs and process plans for their manufacture. Both of these can subsequently be reloaded into the virtual factory and amended and enhanced, or|in the case of the part programs and process plans|can be downloaded into the real factory and used directly for production.

Systematic Creation and Application of Virtual Factory with Object Oriented Concept
This paper proposes a systematic method of creation and application of a virtual factory. Basic definition of a of virtual factory is first given , followed by its foundation principles and architectural overview, and then a systematic method based on object technologies is proposed to create the virtual factory. Specially, for a real manufacturing environment, a corresponding virtual factory c...

A virtual factory integrated manufacturing system combined with system simulation and virtual reality is introduced in this paper. We describe the system architecture and development methodology, provide the working principle of process simulation and monitoring in virtual factory, and then explain the detailed applications of virtual factory integrated manufacturing system. With the visualizat...
متن کاملRolling Horizon Scheduling of Multi-factory Supply Chains
The Virtual Factory is a job shop scheduling tool that was developed at NC State. It has been found to provide nearoptimal solutions to industrial-sized problems in seconds. Recently, the Virtual Factory was expanded to include interfactory transportation operations which enabled the detailed scheduling of entire multi-factory manufacturing supply chains. Separately, a rolling horizon procedure...
متن کاملCreating competitive factories - Speeding up the innovative process in factory design using virtual reality as a new engineering tool
This paper presents the participative approach in factory design and describes the system developed at the Fraunhofer-Institute for Factory Operation and Automation to support the factory planning and facility management process. When designing a new factory or revitalising old factory buildings important decisions have to be taken in an early stage of the planning process. The developed Model-...
متن کاملModeling, Implemetation and Simulation of Virtual Factory
− The Real-time Colored Petri Net (RTCPN), a modification of traditional Colored Timed Petri net, is proposed to describe virtual factory. In RTCPN, firing discipline differs from traditional way in that the concept of time-enabled transition is introduced to implement real-time simulation. In this paper, we address how to describe virtual factory using RTCPN model. Combined with block diagram,...
متن کاملImplementation af a Virtual Factory Communication System using the Manufacturing Message Specification Standard
In this article, we describe the implementation of a virtual factory communication system using the manufacturing message specification (MMS) standard and its companion standards (MMS-CS). In particular, a number of virtual networked machines based on the MMS-CS standard are designed and implemented for the virtual factory environment. Additionally, the MMS internet monitoring system (MIMS) is ...
