Abstract: This article provides perspective into creation of virtual 3D model of existing robotic workcell to optimize productive process and save space. Separate parts of the paper describe the process of creation of the environment with the usage of an alternative scanning device, namely Kinect in combination with various software applications. This alternative offers scans of environment and components surfaces that are from the viewpoint of precision and quality comparable with much more expensive devices but based only on open source elements.

Abstract: This paper deals with a thin aluminium sheets experimental rotary shaping with use of a testing device. The device consists of two rollers. One of them has an elastic surface. From viewpoint of diagnostics it is necessary to carry out an experiment with defined working conditions for total rotary shaping of a selected sheet.The aim is to shape a thin sheet made of a selected material using different values of thickness and to find out the smallest diameter that could be rotary shaped.

Abstract: In this paper we applied simulation tools to assess the material flow in particular company oriented on die-casting production. The objective of the presented case study is to highlight that detailed data analysis from simulation can help to increase utilization of machinery considerably. Another reason for simulation adoption is to determine deviation of production volume. We have also implicitly outlined the benefits that can be derived from implementing a simulation tools and the additional costs for the implementation.
