Amid the current industrial revolution, a total disruption of the existing production lines may seem to be the easiest approach, as the potential possibilities seem limitless when starting from the ground up. On the business side, an adaptation of existing production lines is always a preferred option. In support of adaptation as opposed to disruption, this paper presents a new approach of using production process orchestration in a smart factory, discussed in an industrial case-study example. A proposed smart factory has the Orchestrator component in its core, responsible for complete semantical orchestration of production processes on one hand, and various factory resources on the other hand, in order to produce the desired product. The Orchestrator is a complex, modular, highly scalable, and pluggable software product responsible for automatised planning, scheduling, and execution of the complete production process. According to their offered capabilities, non-smart and smart resources—machines, robots, humans—are simultaneously and dynamically assigned to execute their dedicated production steps.

Abstract Simulation programs are increasingly being used to solve material flow problems. These programs are primarily used for the simulation of production or transport processes. Testing of a new type of control in-process would mean stopping production and testing experiments with uncertain results. To avoid this lengthy and above all expensive way of any change, simulation programs have been used. Simulations of production processes in these programs enable better production planning and examination of bottlenecks in the production process by proposing changes, such as robots, conveyors, or also various logistics controls. The advantage is not only the fact that the production does not have to be interrupted, but also that it is possible to try many different experiments in a simulation process. The article is focused on the analysis of the production process in a selected production enterprise. After the analysis, the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation program was used for the creation of production process simulation. Results and improvements to the production process were proposed from the initial simulation with a focus on practical use.

The paper deals with optimization of the production process in a selected company. The proposal of elimination of bottlenecks that were revealed in the analysis of the production process is described here in this paper. For clarity and zooming of the production process models were processed in a simulation software module from Siemens PLM Software - Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. Improvement suggestions will help to reduce the time of production operations, to improve product quality, to facilitate the work of the staff and to increase economic efficiency of production. The application of PLM software enables companies to analyze and easily develop manufacturing processes in the future, or to build new processing lines and departments [4]. It will help to optimize the current state of workplace and will allow easier data management throughout the life cycle, not just within this particular company, but throughout the corporation to which the enterprise belongs.

Production Losses

This paper lays the theoretical foundations for the characterisation the course of processes in production engineering by means of computer tools, with the focus on the essence and benefits resulting from the use the programmes in question. The main objective of this study is to employ a selected computer tool for modelling, analysing and simulating a selected product manufacturing process to identify areas in the process that require improvement. The work involved the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation programme, in which the existing production process was modelled. The created model was used to simulate the runtime of the production lot, identify bottlenecks and analyse production losses, such as: waiting, stocks, and unnecessary transport. The conducted analysis has produced an outcome in the form of methods for eliminating identified production losses and modifying the model. The simulations were subsequently carried out on a modified model, which allowed determining the level of improvement of the assumed indicators, e.g. order completion time, set-up time, waiting time, stocks. The selected tool served not only as a means to visualising the course of the manufacturing process but also enabled us to optimise and improve it. The article presents the possibilities of using simulation programmes to identify and eliminate waste in production processes. In addition, the conclusions show not only the results of the simulations but also the most important benefits resulting from the use of this type of tools in production engineering, in particular in lean production management.
