스마트 공장 운영 설계를 위한 3D 공장 시뮬레이션 기반 사전 공정 연구

Abstract

Traditional manufacturing systems can be transformed into smart factory by introducing modern hardware and software solutions, which also require innovations in manufacturing process and working methods. Moreover, such transformation must be carefully managed since it generally accompanies significant amounts of costs and time. Nevertheless, many manufacturing companies focus solely on introduction of hardware and software solutions, which can lead to failure to achieve the objective of smart factory. In order to address this problem, performances of existing manufacturing process and alternative manufacturing process implemented by new solutions should be systematically evaluated and compared at the early stage of smart factory transformation. Simulation is a practical approach for analyzing manufacturing systems. Also, modern 3D factory simulation softwares provide additional visual information helpful for understanding and validating simulation models. In this context, this paper proposes 3D factory simulation-based process pre-study that can be used to make decisions on smart factory operational design.
