Comprehensive 3D Visualization of Simulated Processes in Virtual Factories
نویسندگان
چکیده
Industrial virtual reality (IVR) facilitates the development and operation of factories and plants by enhancing communication among all the stakeholders involved and providing a visualization combining the different planning data with simulation data generated during development or real-time data acquired during operation. The major benefit derived from combining these heterogeneous data sources is the capability to evaluate and review a complete system’s performance and consistency. Experience gained in numerous industry projects indicates that the acceptance and practicability of this technology is largely contingent on the labor required to procure, preprocess and synchronize data as well as the maintainability of the IVR models. This paper describes the workflows and methodologies used to integrate industrial data in interactive IVR semi-automatically to plan, review and operate factory systems and to train executives, technicians and workers.

متن کاملVisualization in Human-Centered Virtual Factories
In a manufacturing system (MS), a wide range of human activities are applied in production processes. The human factor plays a core role and should be incorporated into the design, planning and decision making processes. In this work we describe different definitions, developments and existing concepts of a Virtual Factory (VF) and discuss VFs from the human oriented point of view. Furthermore,...
متن کاملInteractive Visualization to Advance Earthquake Simulation
The geological sciences are challenged to manage and interpret increasing volumes of data as observations and simulations increase in size and complexity. For example, simulations of earthquake-related processes typically generate complex, time-varying data sets in two or more dimensions. To facilitate interpretation and analysis of these data sets, evaluate the underlying models, and to drive ...
