AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY – ASSEMBLY LINES

Scope of the simulation 

• Mapping of all manual stations and automatic processes, including front stoppers, main stoppers and release sensors 

• Mapping of conveyor lines, workpiece carriers and driverless transport vehicles 

• Mapping of test benches and reworking stations 

General conditions 

• Versatile assembly plant with individual processing time 

• Non-linear manufacturing structure with cycles for rework processes 

• Statically incalculable cycle losses due to multiple runners as a result of rework processes 

• Restrictions on manual stations through a limited number of workers 

Results

• Validation of the planned output 

• Verification of chaining concepts 

• Optimisation of rework strategies 

• Optimisation of the number of conveying tools 

• Investigation of variant-dependent bottlenecks
