“…This allows a holistic, multi-domain representation in connection with powerful simulation, topology optimization and evaluation processes. The knowledge representation can include product requirements (Holder et al 2017), function (Elwert et al 2019), abstract physics (Stetter 2020) and also the results of evaluation processes applying e.g. pareto fronts (Holder et al 2021).…”

The design rationale describes the justification of design decision or selection. To avoid unnecessary design iterations, a capturing and documentation of this rationale is highly desirable. In digital engineering processes it is of imminent importance not only to document the evaluation processes behind this rationale but to make them repeatable and digitally executable. This allows to design a variety of product variants within an engineering framework. This paper explains an approach based on graph-based design languages and presents it based on a section of an automotive assembly system.

“…The generation of discipline-specific models in the target format (DSL) are realized via interfaces. For a more detailed description of how GBDLs work, please refer to [38][39][40][41][42][43]. According to the systematic design methodology of Pahl and Beitz [44], the requirements are initially mapped to abstract product functions in the product design, then possible solution principles are elicited and finally the appropriate components are selected.…”

In this paper, a combination of graph-based design and simulation-based engineering (SBE) into a new concept called Executable Integrative Product-Production Model (EIPPM) is elaborated. Today, the first collaborative process in engineering for all mechatronic disciplines is the virtual commissioning phase. The authors see a hitherto untapped potential for the earlier, integrated and iterative use of SBE for the development of production systems (PS). Seamless generation of and exchange between Model-, Software- and Hardware-in-the-Loop simulations is necessary. Feedback from simulation results will go into the design decisions after each iteration. The presented approach combines knowledge of the domain “PSs” together with the knowledge of the corresponding “product” using a so called Graph-based Design Language (GBDL). Its central data model, which represents the entire life cycle of product and PS, results of an automatic translation step in a compiler. Since the execution of the GBDL can be repeated as often as desired with modified boundary conditions (e.g., through feedback), a design of experiment is made possible, whereby unconventional solutions are also considered. The novel concept aims at the following advantages: Consistent linking of all mechatronic disciplines through a data model (graph) from the project start, automatic design cycles exploring multiple variants for optimized product-PS combinations, automatic generation of simulation models starting with the planning phase and feedback from simulation-based optimization back into the data model.

In modern automotive production, high-tech robotic complexes and assembly lines are widely used for all four main production stages: pressing, welding, coating and assembly. The paper views industrial robot-assisted high-tech incomplete vehicle production using robotic manipulators. Studies have been conducted on the efficiency and productivity of automotive production through the use of a robotic assembly. Studies have been conducted on the efficiency and productivity of automotive production using a robotic assembly. A brief overview of scientific works on automation of production using robotic systems is presented. The discussed robotic complexes include various robots: assemblers, manipulators, auxiliary robots. The payback period of the robotic complex ranges from three to five years. Robotic complexes are successfully used in various factories, e.g. 115 robots are used at Volkswagen, 112 robots are used at Renault, 106 robots are used at Nissan. The average time period for assembling one basic vehicle product at the factory is 25 hours. The main characteristics of a robotic automobile assembly such as cycle of the assembly line; work pace; assembly line load factor are viewed. The influence of the main characteristics of the assembly line on productivity in robotic automotive production is estimated. The results show an increase in product output of up to 10% with an increase in the load factor by one tenth. The robotic assembly line efficiency calculation for automotive production shows that within five years the increase in net profit when using just one robotic assembly line will amount to about five million rubles. In addition, the output of products will significantly increase with RPA in automotive production. The effectiveness of using a robotized assembly line in automotive production is also shown.
