Digital Manufacturing Tools in the Simulation of Collaborative Robots: Towards Industry 4.0

摘要: Goal: The main objective of this study is to analyze the impact inserting a collaborative robot in production line factory automotive sector. Design / Methodology Approach: Two simulation environments were developed. first one models original operation without robot. second evaluates This work quantitative. Results: paper presents use digital manufacturing tools between human and simulations with performed, they make it possible emphasize benefits real line. Limitations investigation: scenario was validated from data provided by factory. However, suggestion, emphasizing operation. Implementation not conducted. Practical implications: Since its completion depended on support sector, noticeably practical. used as well assumptions made allow conclude that implement propositions chosen line. Originality Value: Brazil forbidden regulation until recently. Even other countries decision makers still find have difficulty deciding for new technology. For reason, using robots, mainly Brazilian companies, clear. contributes discussion consequently Industry 4.0 implementation creating twin an existing process it. results should be decide technology their factories.
