Abstract

Abstract: The paper presents a set of modules developed in the Siemens Plant Simulation software, which automatically creates the models of robotic assembly systems with AGV based material handling, and supports the production and maintenance planning. The layout planning module creates the layout from a predefined set of components. The area analyser and track configurator modules map the free area in the layout and create the AGV tracks. The maintenance planning module optimises the maintenance schedules of the system. The production control module creates the production schedules and executes an integrated maintenance and production simulation.
