... Since 2012 a group of 14 European companies and research institutes have developed novel planning and control solutions in the European public funded project ARUM (Adaptive Production Management; www.arum-project.eu) to overcome those challenges in production ramp-up. The validation of the developed control strategies and their implementation into novel planning and scheduling solutions within a realistic industrial environment is mandatory and several industrial use Cases have been selected, e.g. an Airbus system installation flowline in Hamburg. [...] Growing competition and a high demand for individual and ...

Better Decision Making with Manufacturing Simulation, Digital Twin Technology, and AI
... processing, and some continue through a painting station and a curing station, depending on the production cycle. At the end, all cores undergo testing. Steel pallets are never removed from the line, even if they are empty. Initially, manufacturing line scheduling was conducted manually and for short periods. This method resulted in recurrent issues where objects on the production line created bottlenecks. The most practical way to resolve major blockages was to unload the cores by crane and reset the whole line. With the aim of making the process more efficient, Lagor approached Engineering company. Together, they would ...
