In specific, we like to know if the current target processing times, set for the operators, can be lowered and/or made different for each workstation, such that the current throughput is significantly increased while keeping the average queue length per workstation less than or equal to one. The work is ongoing and we will focus here on the first part of the project involving the assembly line.
Anylogic optimization software#
The AnyLogic multimethod simulation software was used to model the assembly line. One partner in the project, ABB Robotics, is interested in creating a digital twin of its robot manufacturing plant to investigate questions like: which product mixes achieve the highest profit, how does the layout affect the cycle time, what resource allocation removes bottlenecks, and how can we quote better delivery dates given the system variability.Īddressing such questions required a wholistic view of the operations at the shop floor, and simulation was chosen as a tool to help us understand the connections between the various operations.
Anylogic optimization how to#
Youll learn how to build a supply chain model with real-time GIS features and optimization capabilities.
The goal of PADME is to investigate and demonstrate how the highly-digitalized and proven systems of the process industry, like collaborative process automation systems, can be used in discrete manufacturing to reduce cycle time, increase throughput, and optimize work-in-process levels. AnyLogic 7.1 modeling and simulation software harvests the power of GIS technology, allowing for streamlined simulation of your business processes. Industrie 4.0 is concerned with how to securely collect information from various sources, and the methods needed to utilize such information to create a Smart Factory that provides competitive advantage. With increased global competition, shorter product life cycle, and diminishing market boarders, companies are turning to data to better utilize their resources and speed up decision making, while keeping a wholistic view of the effects of real-time reactions.
