VIRTUAL FACTORY SIMULATOR FRAMEWORK FOR LINE PROTOTYPING

摘要: Presented in the paper is a virtual factory simulator (VFS) framework as 3D solid-based to be used line prototyping tool for an AMS (automated manufacturing system). The VFS supports resource & layout modeling, physical emulation, and performance simulation: emulation kinematics simulation, interference check between resources, generation verification of device program; simulation material flow control logic evaluation system evaluation. proposed fully integrated graphical modeling environment scenario modeling. Therefore, meets requirements high power, ease model building validation, communication with stakeholders compared other commercial system. Based on framework, named VM-Factory® has been developed C++ OpenGL DEVS engine, its validity was demonstrated by applying it constructing FMS (flexible
