چکیده
− 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, the concept of virtual place is also proposed to model large-scale factory rapidly and conveniently. At last, a Java-built-in implementation of RTCPN tool is developed and a Printed-Circuit-Board factory is given to investigate time cost of developed tool. Concurrent feature of RTCPN is also discussed to decrease simulation time and improved results shows its effectiveness.

متن کاملVirtual Factory Data Model
Manufacturing companies have to manage a large amount of data and information. This is due to both the presence of advanced sensors systems at the shop floor level and to the spreading of simulation and decision support software tools. The exchange of simulated and real data can be effective only if interoperability is guaranteed. However, most of the software tools are based on their own data ...
متن کاملThe VR Factory: Discrete Event Simulation Implemented in a Virtual Environment
Virtual reality (VR) refers to an immersive, interactive, multi-sensory, viewer-centered, three-dimensional (3D) computer generated environment and the combination of technologies required to build such an environment (Cruz-Neira, 1993). Related to problems of engineering design and manufacturing, this new technology offers engineers the ability to work with computer models in a three-dimension...

– Increasingly, automation and computer-based control play key roles in the operation of manufacturing systems. These two factors are necessary to support trends towards greater product customization and increased emphasis on reduction of lead times. At the same time, though, automation and computer-based control can be enormously expensive to design and implement in a factory. These high costs...
