“…Research was realized in a group of workplaces and whole company layout, but they avoid using it for individual workplace modelling and analysis. Horbach et al [19] used visTABLE in planning and visualization of concept of building blocks for adoptable factory systems in the experimental and digital factories. Spath et al [20] did layout planning for assembling workstations with workers.…”

In this paper, a design of optimal facility layout, for already existing factory, using a Schmigalla method combined with software tool visTABLE for layout modelling and optimization is presented. It is called static facility layout planning. Schmigalla method belongs to heuristic type of methods. These method types should be combined with some other methods or tools. Combination of this method in conceptual phase and software visTABLE for layout modelling and optimization in optimization phase is presented. For real-world industrial application, this particular combination is obtaining significant improvement results. Layout designing was realized on a real production process example with 15 different products. In the first part of the paper, a production process with all the data is presented. After that, in the second part, a theoretical and mathematical model of Schmigalla method as a base for layout modelling was used. Then, in the third part, Schmigalla method layout transformation was practically (virtually) realized with software visTABLE. In the fourth part, after layout realization of a virtual layout model, software visTABLE was additionally used (manually and automatically) for finding an optimal layout solution.

Flexible manufacturing based on rapidly reconfigurable robotic systems will enable factories to meet time-sensitive and fast-changing industrial demands. However, with the rise of modular systems there is also the need to quickly and easily determine which configuration is optimal for performing a certain task. In this article, we present a path-based ad hoc technique for determining the inverse and forward kinematics map based on relative joint space variable to reduce the computational complexity. The proposed technique is nonsingular and suits kinematic analysis and optimization of robotic systems with undetermined configuration, and it can be extended to solve generalized inverse kinematic of robotics system involving large number of joint variable.
