"Virtual Fusion: Combing Simulations with Operations to Improve Manufacturing System Control"
Abstract: Revolutionary computing technologies are driving significant advances in the manu facturing domain. High-fidelity simulations and virtual design environments allow unprecedent ed opportunities to test and validate systems before they are built, reducing overall design time and cost. Big Data streaming from the factory floor can be collected over high-speed networks, and stored in large-scale server farms (such as cloud-based systems). Comparison of key perfor mance indicators between the expected or simulated system and the actual physical system can enable improved analytics, leading to increased performance. This talk will describe how the integration of simulation and plant-floor data can enable new control approaches that are able to optimize the overall performance of manufacturing systems.
