1. Plant/manufacturing cell design layout with process simulation supported with demonstration

Background

The aim of this assignment is to expose and equip students with practical and theoretical knowledge/skills required in the design of modern digital manufacturing plant/cell layout and configuration in the context of industry 4.0 and cloud manufacturing. This assignment is made up of the following task:

1. Plant/manufacturing cell design layout with process simulation supported with demonstration

2. Report writing on 1 (Plant/manufacturing cell design layout with process simulation)

This assignment is worth 60% of your module grade which will be made available on Moodle at the beginning of week 5 (DD/MM/YEAR) until the submission due date of DD/MM/YEAR.

Requirement

 Scientific calculator

 Basic drawing equipment set (compass, ruler and pencil)

 Knowledge of 3D modelling and interpretation of 2D drawing

 Visual Components Factory Design software (VC 4.0) – Student Edition

Completion of this assignment will address the following learning outcomes:

1 Understand and evaluate classic manufacturing and advanced manufacturing techniques and principles

2 Analyse digital manufacturing concepts, cloud manufacturing principles, technologies and application

3 Apply CAD/CAM knowledge in digital manufacturing simulation

4 Demonstrate good understanding of industry 4.0 principles, technology and applications

5 Apply the principles of manufacturing automation in visual factory design and simulation

Task:

The company innovation director of a South Korean based manufacturing company KaiSmartTech, has approached your currently company (DigiSmartMano) which specialises in Innovative Digital Manufacturing and Factory Design. As a graduate Engineer your first task within the team is to design a plant layout/manufacturing cell. Your company head of digital manufacturing and design has provided you with plant layout examples as a guide as shown in figure 1 to 4. To be successful in this task, you are required to carry out a lot of research, be innovative and creative.

You are also presented with the following reasons that you are expected to select the ones that matches the problem that you want to solve. You are also presented with the following reasons that you are expected to select the ones that matches the problem that you want to solve. Reasons:

 New product introduction

 Changes in demand

 Changes in product design

 New machines

 Bottlenecks

 Too large buffers

 Too long transfer times

You are required to carry out 3D factory design and modelling to required ISO and BSI standard according to outlined specifications using Visual Components factory design and simulation software if you are a student in CU Coventry and other Coventry University Group or any industry standard CAD package/software for other non CU Group site.
