Different Levels

This paper discusses a digital twin-based approach for designing and redesigning flexible assembly systems. The digital twin allows modeling the parameters of the production system at different levels including assembly process, production station, and line level. The approach allows dynamically updating the digital twin in runtime, synthesizing data from multiple 2D–3D sensors in order to have up-to-date information about the actual production process. The model integrates both geometrical information and semantics. The model is used in combination with an artificial intelligence logic in order to derive alternative configurations of the production system. The overall approach is discussed with the help of a case study coming from the automotive industry. The case study introduces a production system integrating humans and autonomous mobile dual arm workers.

Demand Fluctuations

In recent years, the automobile industry is facing more challenge than ever due to rapid model change requirements and demand fluctuations. Traditional fixed-type production systems are less capable in coping with the rapid change, while flexible production systems can better meet the requirement of low-volume production with model variations. Flexible machines integrated with model-mixed assembly lines form flexible assembly systems (FASs). In this paper, Colored Timed Petri Net (CTPN) is used to model a highly model-mixed automobile assembly system. Based on this CTPN model, a real-time simulator was developed along with different dispatching rules. Besides, the algorithm of balanced budget work standard (BWS) for a small batch production is developed for adjusting the loading balance of the operators in the highly model-mixed assembly lines. The simulator can be used as an effective tool for developing scheduling strategies.
