Factory Layout

Abstract In a manufacturing assembly line scenario, factory layout is one of the most crucial information used by manufacturing, facility and factory automation engineers for planning purposes. It is important for manufacturing, facility and operations team to work with most up-to-date layout when product, process and operational information on the shop-floor is constantly changing. There are four elements which governs availability of a real-time layout, these are nothing but Product Design, Manufacturing Process Planning, Layout Planning and Shop-floor. The layout must accommodate these changes coming from product design, process updates and shop-floor modifications on real-time basis so that there is no confusion amongst the stakeholders while referring layout data for their planning purpose. If we talk about the impact on the layout because of product design and process design, it is hardly managed real-time due to the isolated systems to manage these data. The integration of product, process and plant (PPP) is becoming crucial to facilitate collaboration and shrink new product introduction lead time where as real-time update from the shop-floor changes is expected in the era of digital transformation. One of the reasons why the integration of product, process and plant (PPP) does not happen is multiple isolated systems used to maintain this data, there are also challenges to feed data back from the shop-floor because of the non-availability of the thread between these objects. The paper is about how factory layout can be developed integrating product, process and plant (PPP) in a single dynamic environment and establish a digital thread between the product design, manufacturing process planning and factory layout to trigger real-time changes and facilitate digital twin of the factory. The methodology adopted here is to develop bill of material for manufacturing resources and align it with the product data management. This approach not only provides ability to maintain change control over resource objects but also helps in configuration management of the resource bill of material. The resources are grouped together as layout structure for the plant with each object required to manufacture the product. The detailed layout developed for the plant while integrating with product and process is used to establish connection with objects on the shop-floor through sensors and IOT (Internet of Things) devices to form digital twin. Such details added in layout which is So far there are no efforts to digitalize every information on the factory floor and able to generate Digital Twin of the factory by connecting physical objects with the digital objects. Paper will elaborate the approach to establish digital thread between PPP and how this can become foundation to drive digital twin of the factory.

Factory Layout

One of the most common problems encountered in the manufacturing process is improper layout. About 30% of production time is wasted on transporting materials and products. The causes of this waste are problems in the disposition of stock and machines in production, that is, in the factory layout production of school desks became more efficient with the use of the cell layout. The result found was that with the implementation of the cell layout, there was an increase in the number of wallets produced and a reduction in the waste of materials. It is concluded that the. In this context, the production line based on the cellular layout has been an excellent ally, since the cells of this layout can improve the use of available space, without increasing costs due to major renovations or constructions. To prove such improvements, through the implementation of the cell layout, the PSL method (Systematic Layout Planning) was used, which follows steps such as data collection, analysis of necessary and available space, and factory limitations. With these stages of knowledge and analysis of the factory, it becomes possible to discard layouts that do not fit the characteristics of the company, whether related to financial resources, available space, and factory culture. Using the Chi-Square test for statistical analysis, it was possible to verify that the cell layout is an efficient optimization tool in the school desks production process, as it brought numerous benefits to the factory under studies, such as increased productivity, greater organization, and flexibility in the processes.

Factory Layout

Eine stetig steigende Produktvielfalt sowie ein sich schnell änderndes Marktumfeld erfordern neue Methoden der Planung, um auf diese Komplexität der Märkte angemessen zu reagieren. Einen wichtigen Stellhebel bildet dabei die Wandlungsfähigkeit, die durch geeignete Planungsmethoden unterstützt und optimiert wird. Gerade in der Layoutplanung können geeignete Methoden und Systeme zu einem Wettbewerbsvorteil führen. Dieser Fachartikel geht am Beispiel der Lernfabrik „advanced Industrial Engineering“ (aIE) und einer für das Android-Betriebssystem entwickelten App zur Layoutplanung auf die mobile Layoutplanung „vor Ort“ in der Fabrik ein.   With increasing product variety and rapidly changing market conditions, new methods of planning are required to adequately respond to market complexity. In this context, adaptability is a key asset that needs to be supported and optimized through appropriate planning methods. Especially for layout planning it holds true that suitable methods and systems can give a competitive advantage. This article discusses the benefits of mobile layout planning on the shop floor exemplified by the learning factory „advanced Industrial Engineering“ (aIE) and a layout planning app for Android.
