Designing of Machine Backups in Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems

Abstract

The article presents the results of machine backup designing in reconfigurable industrial processes. The development of manufacturing systems is moving towards intelligent, automated, autonomous, and reconfigurable manufacturing systems. Factories that want to ensure long-term sustainable and competitive manufacturing processes must be designing their processes to respond flexibly to changing changes in customer requirements. The article’s introduction characterizes concepts such as cold backup and warm backup machines and indicators relationship as the time between faults and repairs. The second part (materials and methods) describes prerequisites as the creation of the product family creation and resource availability with many formulas, simulation models, and its verification for the creation of the family products in the third part of this article. The third part describes the results from the calculations of the backups and family products of their use in reconfigurable manufacturing systems. The developed methodology for line design uses the principles of reconfiguration in designing configurations regarding advanced approaches in factories. A significant milestone will be the rapid integration of disruptive technologies and approaches into manufacturing systems. The complexity of future manufacturing systems in the Factories of the Future will only be possible with new innovative factory technologies using the digital twin.

Architecture of hybrid mechatronic dosing and packing module of packaging machine based on qualitative analysis

“…But there are a number of unexplained issues, in particular the energy efficiency of the described proposals. Work [20] gives generalized approaches to the selection of components of a hybrid electropneumatic dispenser control system. The insufficiency of the description of the layout of the volume-piston type dispenser, the absence of the description of the operational requirements for the proposed design, is the incompleteness of the research.…”

Digital Twins in the Automotive Industry: The Road toward Physical-Digital Convergence

“…Facilitates activities such as monitoring, coordination, and control of industrial systems in production lines. Its main function lies in the reduction of errors and production delivery time [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21].…”

Improving Replenishment Flows Using Simulation Results: A Case Study

“…As a summary, this poor feeding system generates high financial costs. An action plan allowing, among other things, to better evaluate the Takt time [47] and to avoid overstocking and activities without real added value [48], must be put in place in order to ensure a precise balance between the needs of the assembly lines in raw materials and what to have in the buffer inventory.…”
