The paper describes one practical implementation of the Digital Factory concept – design of a new production line using modern planning method of virtual testing and control of processes. The project covered graphical facility design, detailed design of operations and material flow simulation. This case study shows facility process planning, commission and in the end finding the optimization rules and corrective actions to increase existing casting line throughput. All phases of the project were carried out using simulation software, duration of the project was 6 months. Simulation software WITNESS has been used for material flow simulation.

Systeme zur Produktionsplanung und -steuerung (PPS) können zeitdynamische Wechselwirkungen nur bedingt berücksichtigen. Dies wird erst durch zusätzliche Simulationsfunktionen in Form einer simulationsgestützten Optimierung möglich und führt so zu effizienteren und besser umsetzbaren Plänen. Der erforderliche produktionssynchrone digitale Zwilling entsteht durch geeignete Anbindung des Simulationsmodells an betriebliche Automatisierungs- und Erfassungssysteme. Diese Verknüpfung wird hier im Detail erläutert.   Systems for production planning and control (PPC) can only consider time-dynamic interactions to a limited extent. This is enabled by adding simulation functions, leading to more efficient and viable plans. Appropriate interfacing of the simulation model to operational automation and data acquisition systems creates the required production-synchronous digital twin. This linking is explained in detail in this article.

This paper presents the current status of robot technology in the shipyard production environment. The focus is on a case study in which a computer-integrated and robotized web and component line is presented. This production line will be fully operational by mid-1995. An overview has also been included of the most relevant technologies with regard to robot production in the shipbuilding industry, and how these technologies contributed to the introduction of robots in shipyards. The need for integrating the robots with the rest of the shipyard's material flow, computer systems and organization is discussed, followed by a brief survey of emerging technologies which may be useful for the shipbuilding community.

At the moment, many engineer-to-order manufacturers are under pressure, the overcapacity in many sectors erodes prices and many companies, especially in Europe have gone into recent years in bankruptcy. Due to the increasing competition as well as the new customer requirements, the internal processes of an ETO company play an essential role in order to achieve a unique selling proposition (USP). Therefore this paper exposes how the production planning and control of an engineer-to-order manufacturer can be designed in order to increase its OTD (order-to-delivery) rate as well as decrease the WIP (work-in-progress) and the production lead times. To prove the optimized planning logic, it was applied in a simulation case study and based on the results; the conclusions about its potential are derived.
