Abstract

The application of automatical assembly cells demands for increasing flexibility and short planning times. For planning such cells 3D-simulation systems can be used very advantageous. The siting planning during the design of flexible assembly cells implicitly determines certain general properties, such as the cycle time. A later manual optimization of the cell arrangement with respect to such criteria requires considerably more time and experience of the planner due to various and sometimes contradictory influencing parameters. This article presents the concept and realisation of a system for automatic arrangement optimization of components within an assembly cell. For this purpose, numerical parameter optimization methods are linked to a 3D simulation system.
