Virtual Factory Integrated Manufacturing System for Process Simulation and Monitoring
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 visualization and three-dimensional human-computer interaction about process and production data, this platform can provide effective supports on monitoring, control and operation of manufacturing system.

متن کاملDevelopment of a Virtual Factory Emulator Based on Three-Tier Architecture
Virtual factory (VF) can provide a total solution for shortening manufacturing cycle time and achieving customer satisfactions. Hence, many world-class companies dedicate themselves to establish their own virtual factories. However, it is di€ficult to implement a virtual factory because of the lack of assistant tools. A three-tier architecture based colored timed Petri net emulator is developed...
