“…The method of digital planning validation (DPV) has recently gained some interest (Fig. 5) [56]. Based on a validation process running in parallel to that of digital planning, the DPV method developed by DaimlerChrysler consists of both the continuous checking of digital planning results as well as the process reviews at certain points in time, the so-called process days.…”

“…With products that devolved out of high-end academic research, these software products often needed highly trained, highly scientific minds, and a deep Fig. 5 Digital manufacturing links product development, production planning, and facility planning [56] and healthy bank account. In the 1990s, both FEA and computer-aided machining suddenly became affordable and usable, even on the shopfloor.…”

Digital manufacturing has been considered, over the last decade, as a highly promising set of technologies for reducing product development times and cost as well as for addressing the need for customization, increased product quality, and faster response to the market. This paper describes the evolution of information technology systems in manufacturing, outlining their characteristics and the challenges to be addressed in the future. Together with the digital manufacturing and factory concepts, the technologies considered in this paper include computer-aided design, engineering, process planning and manufacturing, product data and life-cycle management, simulation and virtual reality, automation, process control, shopfloor scheduling, decision support, decision making, manufacturing resource planning, enterprise resource planning, logistics, supply chain management, and e-commerce systems. These technologies are discussed in the context of the digital factory and manufacturing concepts.

The ability to realize customized products, in particular for engineering-to-order companies, is a key factor in order to be competitive in modern market without incurring any additional cost and respecting customer lead time. In this ever-changing environment the layout optimization is a fundamental issue requirement, hence the development of a virtual layout, according to the Digital Factory concepts, can be very useful to identify and to solve potential problems during the planning phase, before realize it. The main aim of this paper is represented by the proposal of a layout reconfiguration and a technological solution for the parts feeding system of the industrial plant analysed in order to reduce the production lead times.In the first phase, an overview of the Digital Factory applications is provided. In the second phase, after data analysis in an Italian manufacturing company, a simulation model has been designed and tested using Simio simulation software. Simulations results concerning production and queue times obtained from different orders have been compared with actual configuration data.Research results indicate that the surveyed company has had an improvement in terms of reduction of waiting times and increase of customers satisfaction due to total production lead time reduction.

Development and Evaluation of the Virtual Prototype of the First Saudi Arabian-Designed Car

Prototyping and evaluation are imperative phases of the present product design and development process. Although digital modeling and analysis methods are widely employed at various product development stages, still, building a physical prototype makes the present typical process expensive and time consuming. Therefore, it is necessary to implement new technologies, such as virtual prototyping, which can enable industry to have a rapid and more controlled decision making process. Virtual prototyping has come a long way in recent years, where current environments enable stereoscopic visuals, surround sound and ample interaction with the generated models. It is also important to evaluate how representative the developed virtual prototype is when compared to the real-world counterpart and the sense of presence reported by users of the virtual prototype. This paper describes the systematic procedure to develop a virtual prototype of Gazal-1 (i.e., the first car prototype designed by Saudi engineers) in a semi-immersive virtual environment. The steps to develop a virtual prototype from CAD (computer-aided design) models are explained in detail. Various issues involved in the different phases for the development of the virtual prototype are also discussed comprehensively. The paper further describes the results of the subjective assessment of a developed virtual prototype of a Saudi Arabian-designed automobile. User's feedback is recorded using a presence questionnaire. Based on the user-based study, it is revealed that the virtual prototype is representative of the real Saudi Arabian car and offers a flexible environment to analyze design features when compared against its physical prototype. The capabilities of the virtual environment are validated with the application of the car prototype. Finally, vital requirements and directions for future research are also presented.
