Automated Assembly Simulation Using Arena Software

Abstract:

Most research has been concentrating on getting input from and simulating specific assembly processes. The most advanced simulation research is based on data driven methods. The rest of simulation articles are case study based. This work envisages establishing a generic simulation process, which will be based on the generic algorithm and generic assumptions to be used to simulate an automated assembly process. The simulation model is based on proposed configuration and operational information. It is used to verify that the proposed system will meet required production rates and, to predict the relative performance of alternative configurations. It can be used for what-if analysis to investigate different operation scenarios and optimize production systems. Validation of the result was done through the use of different scenarios. It is only by using the model to answer specific questions about ways of changing the system that realizable improvements are identified.
