  1. 1. 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 teknik

    Author : Maja Kfouri; Adan Reimers; [2023]
    Keywords : DES; Palletizer robot; Internal logistics; Goods-receipt; KPI; OEE;

    Abstract : 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.

  2. 2. Making production more efficient through modernisation and increased automatization. : A case study at a potato production line

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Gustav Michelson; Sigurd Michelson; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : As labour prices are rising, and automation gets more advanced, it is important for all process industries to get involved with automation to be able to survive on the open market. Large companies in the process industry have been dealing with automation for decades, thereby making the technology more available and affordable. READ MORE
