6. Using discrete-event simulation to enable implementation of picking and palletizing robots: A case study
University essay from Mälardalens universitet/Akademin för innovation, design och teknikAbstract : Aim: The study aims to develop a DES model to evaluate the impacts of implementing packaging and palletizing robotics in the goods-receipts process. Research questions: RQ1: “What are the requirements when developing a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) model of the goods receipt process in the internal logistics section of a manufacturing company?”, RQ2: “What is the impact of implementing a new layout with industrial palletizer robotics in manufacturing companies' internal logistics - specifically the goods receipt process in terms of robot Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), throughput, and WIP?” and, RQ3: “What considerations should companies take into account when implementing industrial palletizer robotics in their internal logistics, in terms of process flow?” Methodology: This study applied an inductive approach, letting the empirical findings guide the themes explored in the theoretical framework while having a constant interplay between empirical data collection and the construction of the simulation model.

7. Digital Model of a Mining Stacker for Material Tracking : Modelling a Mining Stacker with Forward Kinematics for Material Tracking
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : The Fourth Industrial Revolution is reshaping the manufacturing industry with the emergence of interconnectivity, smart automation, and cyber-physical systems. A popular example of cyber-physical systems is the digital twin or digital model, which both create a virtual (cyber) representation of a system. READ MORE

8. Application of Discrete Time High Order Control Barrier Functions for a prototype multi-spacecraft inspection of the ISS
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : In the past few years, the application of Control Barrier Functions (CBF) and High Order Control Barrier Functions (HOCBF) as a suitable framework to ensure safety for autonomous systems has attracted increasing interest. In particular, autonomous space systems are frequently subject to safety-critical constraints due to the high costs involved in manufacturing and launching. READ MORE

9. Discrete Event Simulation of the Paint shop at VBG Truck Equipment : A method for Work shift Optimization and Balanced Production flow
University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskapAbstract : The background for this thesis work emanates from a desire to drive the production of the VBG Truck Equipment factory in Vänersborg a step further to catch up with the Industry 4.0 standards. Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a widely adopted tool within industries to model real-world systems to improve their processes. READ MORE

10. Discrete-event dynamic system simulation of a heterogeneous manufacturing process
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistikAbstract : A heterogeneous, discrete manufacturing line is being transformed towards a continuous process. Higher demands for efficiency and decreased flexibility of the new process requires more knowledge of the process. READ MORE
