Bremen Research Cluster for Dynamics in Logistics
RESEARCH
Projekt:
Between march 2004 and january 2005 the division intelligent production and logistics systems of the Bremen Institute of Industrial Technology and Applied Work Science at the University of Bremen (BIBA, Head: Professor Dr.-Ing. Bernd Scholz-Reiter), conducted a technical consulting project at the Composite Technology Center Stade (CTC) (Head: Professor Dr.-Ing. Axel Hermann). The aim of the technical consulting project was the implementation of a range of different simulations studies concering the dimensioning and anaylsis of new layout and material-flow concept of composite technology modules. These composite technology modules ought to be build-up by a new, highly automated robot portal system, which was difined within the project, as the central part of the equipment within the factory concept. The BIBA created a first schematic blue-print of the new factory layout, which served as the basis for modelling and analysis of the different material-flow concept.
The range of simulations studies were implemented on selected tools from the area of digital factory, which basically allowed a substantial 3D-visulisation of the factory layout and the planing of the material-flow processes. Furthermore the BIBA conducted a economic feasibility study for some selected simulation scenarios in close cooperation with the CTC. Within the economic feasibility study it could demonstrated, that concering the selected simulation scenarios, some very good payback periods can basically be realised, so that a rationalisation investment compared to the actual situation would be worthwile.
