Modeling operating zones for manufacturing resources using virtual models and graphic-based simulations

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and a system for automatically determining a resource layout. An exemplary embodiment begins with the acquisition of data indicating location and tasks performed by each resource of a plurality of resources. Then, for each of the plurality of resources, each zone on the plane of interest occupied by the resource is automatically determined using the acquired data, which indicates the location and task performed by the resource. Then, the determination zones of two or more resources among the plurality of resources are automatically combined into the join zone based on the reference and the file, for example, the CAD / CAM file, and the determination zones of the plurality of resources on the target plane are automatically joined. Indicates that the layout will be created automatically based on the decision zone and join zone. [Selection diagram] Fig. 1
