Abstract: |
Cut-to-size
plants are very complex systems, which are used to process several kinds of
panels. The acquisition, planning, implementation and operation of these
systems impose lots of challenges. To support the process from retail to
operation of cut-to-size plants, a new simulation based decision support tool
has been developed. This planning tool offers entirely new opportunities for
system experts to model, animate, simulate and emulate cut-to-size processes.
In this paper, we discuss centrally and hierarchically controlled real time
systems and derive a conceptual design to explain the implemented
reproduction of the virtual system. We introduce the system architecture for
our simulation based decision support tool and examine our approach to model
large- scale plant systems. Apart from this, we present our method to process
the orders which are generated on the control system
and to handle them as discrete event tasks in the virtual system. Finally,
based on the findings of the realization and testing of the tool, this paper
discusses the opportunities arising from this approach as well as its future
potential. |
