Methodology and use of variant fields in Factory Planning
Anticipation capability, responsiveness as well as the ability to deal with changes have become key factors of manufacturing companies. These developments directly affect factory planning. Factories need to provide a constant and responsive adaptability. This paper contributes to the adaption of the planning process with regard to the key factors. Modularization of the production system is one aspect of addressing the described challenges, the planning process itself has to be adapted to modular factory structures.
The question to answer is which variation of production system modules is most appropriate in specific conditions. Todayâs planners lack a tool that enables them to make the right decision about the configuration of the factory. This paper proposes a configuration logic for the modularized production system. The logic intends to generate an optimally configured production system. Furthermore the developed Variant Fields offer the possibility to apply the configuration logic within the planning process in practice.
In a Variant Field features of a module of the production system (e.g. room utilisation factor) are related with one another, which span a two-dimensional field. Each axis is divided by different characteristic values of variants of a module. According to the characteristic values along the axles different areas within the Variant Field are determined. These areas are thus linked to the variants of a module. For the configuration of the production system, its requirements in the two features of the Variant Field then are marked in it. The variant is selected according to the area in which the marking falls. In the paper the methodology and the use of Variant Fields will be explained. In order to do so, the configuration of logistic systems is used as an example for illustration
Development of a matching platform for the requirement-oriented selection of cyber physical systems for SMEs
This paper addresses the challenge of a systematic requirementoriented configuration and selection of cyber physical systems (CPS) for SMEs. As the key technologies of realizing the digitalization and interconnection of production processes, manufacturing companies have realized the potential benefits brought by CPS. However, due to the complexity and fast development of CPS technology, it is difficult for SMEs, which lack expertise and financial resources, to select the appropriate CPS technologies meeting both functional and financial requirements. To overcome the issue, an online matching platform is developed to let SMEs express their needs and assist them conceptualize the individual CPS. This paper presents the matching methodology of the matching platform, which can not only match technical characteristics but also evaluate economic potentials. Then, it was demonstrated by a tracking and tracing use casein the end-of-line assembly of a small-sized German electric automobile manufacturer
Generative Design In Factory Layout Planning: An Application Of Evolutionary Computing Within The Creation Of Production Logistic Concepts
This paper describes the creation and application of a generative design approach in the production logistics layout concept creation as part of factory planning projects. Production systems evermore are influenced by an increase of product variants during the planning stages as well as shorter replanning cycles due to higher agility requirements to the production system. Thus, requiring the planner to more frequently conduct the highly complex planning procedure of creating layout concepts for the material supply within the assembly line. Currently, mathematical or graphical assignment methods are executed but are often used disjunct and are not used jointly. Furthermore, todayâs planning methods are mainly based on manual planning and assignment activities. To address the aforementioned issues, this paper elaborates the application and usability of generative design methods for production logistics planning. As first step the scope and requirements definition for the new production logistics layout application is conducted. Afterwards, generative design, including a multi-objective genetic algorithm, is used to serve as a solution to compile and search through the high-dimensional solution space of all possible logistic layout concepts. Here, layout restrictions and production goals, such as cost and time savings, are reconciled. After the design creation and evaluation by the algorithm, the planner overviews the results and enhances the design parameters until a final concept is reached. This paper concludes with a SWOT analysis of the new planning approach to investigate the used methods, evaluate the impact of the approach on plannerâs work and identify additional research potentials of using the generative design for other factory planning domains
Optimization approach for the combined planning and control of an agile assembly system for electric vehicles
For some years now, the automotive industry has been challenged by growing market dynamics, shorter product lifecycles and customers' increasing demands for individualization. In order to cope with this development, the automotive assembly needs to adapt quickly to changing demands with a low level of investment in the future. Under the current circumstances, the traditional line assembly for high volume production is reaching its limits in terms of adaptability and scalability. A promising solution to address the current challenges is the concept of the agile assembly. The concept of agile assembly breaks up the rigid linkage of assembly stations and, thus, enables full flexibility in the sequence of assembly operations only limited by the precedence graph. Therefore, the routing of electric vehicles in the agile assembly is based on the availability of resources such as assembly stations and automated guided vehicles that handle the material supply. Further, by transferring the transport function to the vehicle itself, investments for convey or systems are eliminated. This research work presents an optimization approach for the machine scheduling and transportation planning, which derives instructions for electric vehicles, assembly stations as well as automated guided vehicles. For each electric vehicle, an optimized route is calculated, taking into account product-specific precedence graphs and minimizing the overall makespan. In addition, the machine scheduling and transportation planning is integrated into a combined planning and control concept which covers the allocation of resources and the assignment of capabilities of the entire assembly system. The approach is implemented and applied to a practical case of a compact electric vehicle. Thus, the work contributes to the evaluation of agile assembly systems in automotive production
Virtual Asset Representation for enabling Adaptive Assembly at the Example of Electric Vehicle Production
Manufacturing companies are confronted with the challenge of adapting to ever-changing requirements of markets in order to remain competitive. Besides the rising number of product variants, increasingly frequent product changes require a continuous adaptation of assembly processes including its work instructions. Adaptive and highly connected agile assembly systems are designed to meet these challenges by enabling the interaction of various assets in assembly. A successful implementation of such Industry 4.0 (I4.0) solutions requires the development of a semantic oriented adaptive framework, which connects the physical with the virtual world. It enables interactive and situation-aware solutions such as Augmented Reality applications to adapt to worker capabilities and to improve worker satisfaction by providing information, based on individual experience, skills and personal preferences. A central part of the adaptive framework is the semantic representation of tangible and intangible assets through a Virtual Asset Representation containing all relevant asset information for adaptive assembly. This paper shows a three levels structure for adaptive assembly implementation, consisting of the adaptive framework level, the Virtual Asset Representation (VAR) ontology level and the use case level. The implementation of an adaptive assembly system is shown in the use case of a rear light assembly process of an electric vehicle in the context of the EU funded project A4BLUE. Based on the gained experiences a critical reflection on target fulfilment and user-friendliness of the VAR is given

Ein systemisches Management-Modell fĂŒr die Fabrikplanung
A global competition as well as technological advances force companies to reinvent them-selves on a permanent basis. This is also true for the central place of value creation, the factory. The task of factory planning in this context is planning and realizing factories that are profitable in the short term and at the same time open up strategic freedom in the long term. Furthermore, the frequency in having to conduct factory planning projects is also increasing. Against this background, factory planning, in addition to its classical project character, does gain more features of a strategic process. This development does provide both opportunities and challenges. Opportunities derive from potential synergies regarding processes, know-how and tools. Challenges stem from the complex socio-technical nature of factory planning that needs to be taken into account. To tackle the described challenges and tap the full potential of strategic factory planning, a systemic management model built on the principles of viable systems for factory planning is developed within this thesis. The basic structure consists of two layers. On the project layer, the preparation and conduction of factory planning projects is addressed. In addition to that project layer, an overarching management layer is introduced which contains, in accordance with systemic management, normative, strategic and operative characteristics. On a normative level, the vision for factory planning is developed, cultural guidelines are established and the basic organizational features are defined. The strategic level covers success potentials for factory planning. The operative level is responsible for an effective and efficient multi-project management, aiming for a maximum level of synergy and optimal contribution to the overarching targets of the company. The project and management layers are connected through a system managing the factory planning knowledge bilaterally. Throughout the projects, project staff is supplied with state-of-the-art knowledge, methods and tools in order to fulfil the tasks in the desired way. At the same time, experience with this knowledge items is feedbacked into the management layer in addition to actual project data. These data sets are used by the operative level to steer the pro-jects in the right direction. On the strategic level, the feedbacked information is processed and used for long-term strategic development
