IMS side of DiFac Project
The objective of IMS DiFac is to develop a strategic planning design tool that is capable of supporting the construction of a digital factory. The immediate goal of IMS DiFac is to improve significantly human motion and task analysis tools when compared with the commercially available digital manufacturing tools, in order to enhance human safety.
The detailed objectives of IMS-DiFac are:
- The development of a rich virtualised collaborative manufacturing environment for digital factory design and evaluation/training activities.
- The optimisation of the time needed in designing and producing quality commercial products.
- The minimization of the risk and/or cost for designing a new plant and/or goods.
- The optimal design and assessment of a plant layout, material flow/logistics and workplace in manufacturing engineering activities.
- Assessment of the final products (3-D visualization and design communication issue).
- The enhancement of workplace safety, in order to minimize the employee's injury.
- PPRH(Product, Process, Resource and Human) information management and system integration in total product lifecycle
- The development of an interface using the concept of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).
- The improvement of collaboration among workers and with the external suppliers at different level in the factory.
- The enhancement of knowledge management to provide managerial assistance for visualized manufacturing collaboration.
