Elaborating Industry 4.0 compatible DSS for enhancing production system effectiveness

Abstract

Developments on the base of the Industry 4.0 philosophy are the most important drivers of the recent production efficiency increasing activities. For meeting the requirements of the production facility operators, integration of digitalization-, virtualization-, simulation-and info-communication technologies are essential. Automatic detection and elimination of the errors in the actual production processes is one the most promising outcome of utilization of the data resulted by the online data acquisition and monitoring of the production system. Having these thoughts in mind, an innovative application of the discrete event driven process simulation on actual sensor data will be presented in this paper. Minimizing the idle times and maximizing the capacity utilization are the required consequences of this application.
