A Study on Distributed Simulation for Flexible Manufacturing Systems

Simulation in Japan:

“…This is achieved through the integration of manufacturing automation processes, business processes, and data management systems (Fig 10). The implementation will require both advances in optimization technologies [25][26][27][28][29] and distributed simulation techniques [30][31][32].…”

Distributed simulation model for computer integrated manufacturing

“…The above considerations and basic studies (Ftijimoto( 1990), Fujii et al( 1989Fujii et al( , 1992Fujii et al( , 1993aFujii et al( , 1993b)) indicate that a simulation system for virtual manufacturing is properly modeled by a distributed simulation system utilizing a distributed cornputer system installed as the infrastructure of CIM system. By the requirements pointed out in the above, each subsystem at tlie area level is decided to be modeled on one procersor and a transportation system connecting areas is modeled on one processor transferring works as shown in Fig.…”
