A Hybrid Simulation System for Juicing and Filling Production Line

As one kind of high quantity standardized commodities, the fruit juice product is an essential part to our daily life and overall economy. Therefore, it is necessary and important to design an efficient juicing and filling production line. According to deficiencies of traditional design methods, we propose a new design method by introducing virtual design technologies to develop a hybrid simulation system for juicing and filling production line, based on modeling software SolidWorks, virtual reality software EON Studio and application development software C++ Builder. We also describe our design method from aspects of process design and layout design, scene modeling, model import and route configuration, and interactive simulation control. Besides, we compare our design method with one traditional design method. Results show that our method can not only shorten effectively the design period but also improve greatly the design quality of the juicing and filling production line.
