Virtual Reality Enhanced Manufacturing Systems Design

چکیده
During the analysis and design of manufacturing systems, enterprises are challenged by existing restrictions and the running production. To handle these key issues, different digital tools and approaches have widely been implemented in recent years. By mean of such tools and approaches, a manufacturing system is able to be adapted whenever changes occur. As one of the most important approaches, Virtual Reality (VR) is now applied to various industrial fields. Current studies of VR applications are mainly focusing on product design but not manufacturing system design. This paper presents VR as an innovative and collaborative design platform for the manufacturing system, which enables a holistic use of digital tools. Based on this platform, three applications have been implemented at different levels of a manufacturing system. Furthermore, a noise simulation and a virtual machining tool can be visualized in a Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE).
