“…The experimental results of the study showed that group technology, facility layout, business growth and capacity expansion played important roles in reducing operating cost and increasing average employee utilization and thus, increasing the efficiency of the system. Pekarcikova et al [16] analysed the productivity and efficiency of production and logistics flows according to the current situation using modelling and simulation, and then optimization using software support were suggested. Takakuwa et al [17] aimed for their students perform work measurement studies including time study, process design, such as line balancing, and execute simulation experiments.…”

Consumption is increasing day by day due to rapid developments in technology and increasing world population. Companies should review their production processes in order to keep up with the consumption rate and increase their competitiveness as well as profit margins. This research shows a case study of simulation application to improve solar panel manufacturing process. The aim is to achieve goals such as increasing system efficiency, reducing inventory and shortening delivery time. Efficient manufacturing process design may reduce work-in-process (WIP), waste, rework and faults, which may reduce the total number of products and yields an increase in the system cost. Inefficiency points were determined in the process based on the obtained observations of the manufacturing system. Various scenarios have been proposed to design such an efficient production system. According to the proposed scenarios, an increase in the utilization rates of machinery, personnel and the total number of final products has been achieved.

IoT-based measurement systems for manufacturing have been widely implemented. As components that can be implemented at low cost, BLE beacons have been used in several systems developed in previous research. In this work, we focus on the Kanban system, which is a measure used in manufacturing strategy. The Kanban system emphasizes inventory management and is used to produce only required amounts. In the Kanban system, the Kanban cards are rotated through the factory along with the products, and when the products change to a different process route, the Kanban card is removed from the products and the products are assigned to another Kanban. For this reason, a single Kanban cannot trace products from plan to completion. In this work, we propose a system that uses a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) beacon to connect Kanbans in different routes but assigned to the same products. The proposed method estimates the beacon status of whether the Kanban is inside or outside a postbox, which can then be computed by a micro controller at low computational cost. In addition, the system connects the Kanbans using the beacons as paired connection targets. In an experiment, we confirmed that the system connected 70% of the beacons accurately. We also confirmed that the system could connect the Kanbans at a small implementation cost.

“…The current market environment focuses on ensuring that the solutions are addressed as quickly as possible, with the least possible consumption of human potential, money spent, and resources needed to solve the problem [1]. In production in accordance with Industry 4.0 [2], there are several pathways in optimisation, for example, process technology optimisation [3,4], logistics processes [5,6], organization [7,8] or materials [9]. Among the innovative elements brought about by Industry 4.0 is the widespread use of simulation software [10].…”

Modelling and simulation is a highly progressive area that can create significant financial savings for companies that use it. Simulations can be used in the production area to analyse or verify certain decisions and conditions, on the basis of which correct measures can be taken. However, modelling is a highly time-consuming and therefore costly process, which narrows its use for decisions in high-priority processes. The content of the article is a description and results of the created tool designed for quick analysis of the workplace using simulation. The entire process of functioning was described through Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams. Siemens's Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software was used to create the tool. The tool itself was compared both to the length of creation of the mid-size simulation model and the time variance of model creation in a standard way. The tool can be used to reduce the time needed to create a model that is used to analyse the selected workplace, which ultimately increases the productivity of the simulation expert.
