Vernetzter Digitaler Zwilling zur Einbeziehung der Materialflusssimulation während der Produktentwicklung

Changeable production systems do not consider the development and design of a product comprehensively enough. Material flow simulations are useful for considering product changes from a production point of view when used to verify concepts in the planning phase and to check for weak points. While simultaneous engineering is made possible by creating a material flow simulation at an early stage of product development, the creation of simulations is very time consuming and the added value of a simulation is often not fully recognised. In this paper, a concept is presented that helps to reduce the effort of creating and adapting simulation models by relying on the properties of flexibility and easy reconfigurability of adaptive production systems.
