Using technomatix simulation software as a validation tool for plant layout of an off-highway vehicle: - Frame assembly

Abstract

Development of any new product envisages strenuous and discreet efforts at various levels of designing and manufacturing. A typical development involves the designing, virtual validation manufacturing and assembly planning. These phases play a remarkable role in the lucrative advancement of the new product. This project, italicizes on the Design and Plant Layout phases including the virtual validations using the latest technologies developed in the recent times. For this purpose, a product contemplated is the frame of an off-highway vehicle in which the new design of the frame assembly has been generated, validated the same against the standard working condition specified by authorities, generated the plant layout for the assembling of this frame structure and validated the generated plant layout using plant layout validation software Technomatix to optimize the same for better and optimum results.
