The consideration of energy-related parameters is already in the planning phase an important step towards an energy-autonomous factory. Using Virtual Reality (VR) gives planners an important basis for decision-making with regards to drafting the layout. This potential should also be used for incorporating energy-related parameters. This paper introduces the coupling of a 2D planning system with a VR environment as the basis for the development of an energy-sensitive planning system. A prerequisite for considering energy-related parameters is recording and visualizing them. Therefore, the second part of the paper deals with energy visualization within a machine at the micro level
Um das korrekte Zusammenspiel einzelner Elemente von komplexen Prozessketten vor ihrem realen Aufbau zu überprüfen, können diese in der virtuellen Welt erstellt werden. Durch die Visualisierung und Simulation des Prozesses ist die vorausgehende Planung kontrollier- und optimierbar. Zusätzlich kann die VR (Virtual Reality)-Darstellung für den (Re-)Designprozess sowie als Kommunikationsgrundlage zwischen verschiedenen Unternehmensbereichen als wichtige Hilfestellung dienen.
To validate the correct interaction between the separate elements of complex process chains before the real build-up, they can be created in the virtual world. By visualizing and simulating the processes, the preceding planning work can be checked and optimized. Additionally, the VR presentation can be used for the (re)desgin process and serve as a communication base for different functional areas, providing important assistance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
