Abstract:

Aiming at designing and verifying a manufacturing automatic line or cell quickly, a customized design method integrated simulation platform is proposed. Based on a 3D simulation software Demo3D, a design platform of customized automatic line is developed. The platform performs an optimization process by iteratively adjusting the simulation model’s configuration and the execution engine’s algorithm structure. Such an approach enables rapid customized production lines or cells, shortens design and development cycles, and reduces design and verification costs.

Key words: customized design; simulation and optimization; iterative optimization; execution engine
