Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) is one of the modern production systems that support the implementation of Industry 4.0. An educational institution plans to build an FMS model for learning the modern production systems. The FMS is a manufacturing system consisting of a set of automatic workstations connected to a material handling system where all activities are controlled by a computer system. The material handling system consists of a material storage system and a transportation system, one example of a transportation system is the stacker crane. In this research, the stacker crane model has been built which consists of three main components, which are the bottom frame, the mast, and the carriage. This component is equipped with stepper motors, leadscrews that are controlled by the micro controller and an application on Android. The stacker crane model is tested to retrieve and deliver the stereofoam material model to the destination which is controlled by the user using an application on Android. The characteristics of the stacker crane model can move the workpiece with a maximum error of 2 mm in the positive x-axis direction, 2 mm in the negative x-axis movement, up to 2 mm positive y-axis, downward at negative y-axis direction 2 mm.

Material handling is one of major components in Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). Any improvement of material handling capability is to affect the performance of the whole system. This paper discusses the simulation study on the effect of part arrival rate and dispatching rules to the average waiting time and production rate of the FMS. The facilities of the system were modeled into simulation environment by using Arena Simulation Software. The production parameters such as machine processing times, part transportation speed and type of products were put into the model to represent the behaviors of the real system. Two rules have been considered in the study, i. e. first come first served (FCFS), and shortest processing time (SPT). Average waiting time and productivity were taken into account as performance measures of the system. The result of the study showed that SPT rule gives shorter average waiting time and higher productivity. Based on this result, the SPT rules would be used to control part transporter in order to have a better performance of the FMS.

The current works deals with the design and development of an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) machine for Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS). The work involved investigating ASRS machine features and operating procedures, evaluating related hardware, software and communication modules for the machine. The work explored on the different options of hardware and software modules offered in the current market and further selected the suitable one for the ASRS machine development. Several design considerations and the limitations faced during the process of the project development and implementation are given. Arduino was used as the coding system for the Arduino UNO board while stainless steel 305 and aluminium was used as the main frame in fabricating the ASRS machine. Lastly, a final working prototype of a fully-developed ASRS machine with dimensions of: 80cm by 73cm by 94cm (length by width by height) is presented.
