shorter ttm/lead time – from 36 to 20 mths Simulation is seen as one of the major enablers for reaching this vision We have to deal with all different simulation methods/areas related to manufacturing/manufacturing engineering:

• Flowsimulation / Discrete Event Simulation - DES • Ergonomics Simulation • Packaging analyses - nominal position, sequence analysis, clash detection • OLP - Off Line Programming - robots, CMM, PLC • Paint simulation - thickness analysis, sealing distribution, NVH application • Layout analysis and MP&L • ... ... ...

Layout Layout is mostly 2D We have problems managing plant layouts over time Being a small manufacturer, the plant becomes complex since many product variants are going through the same plant We need layout in 3D and layout information easily distributed to all stakeholders over time
Date Created: November 14, 2016 Digital Factory and Virtual Manufacturing at Volvo Cars, Dr Dan Lämkull, Volvo Cars Group 14
Layout - what do we have today? We have 2D layout, equipment models, and very good status on robot cells
Date Created: November 14, 2016 Digital Factory and Virtual Manufacturing at Volvo Cars, Dr Dan Lämkull, Volvo Cars Group 15
Layout – what do we miss today? We miss a plant structure with date effectivity (plant over time)
It should be possible for any manufacturing engineer to get a layout over any plant at any given time
It is desirable to have the layout in 3D from start and 2D as a viewer form Layout is more and more related to Plant scanning
Layout is heavily related to flowsimulation

plant scanning and layout
Date Created: November 14, 2016 Digital Factory and Virtual Manufacturing at Volvo Cars, Dr Dan Lämkull, Volvo Cars Group 17
Laser scanned model built up of points and, if necessary, mixed with CAD models (Plant Hybrid Model) Each point has information of (X, Y, Z, R, G, B) – position and colour The point cloud can easily be clustered as a “component” and treated as any CAD model
Date Created: November 14, 2016 Digital Factory and Virtual Manufacturing at Volvo Cars, Dr Dan Lämkull, Volvo Cars Group 18
Numerous attempts to make CAD models of the plants Our experience: Not working; • Too time consuming • The CAD models are not accurate enough
- Not always 90° in corners - Not always parallel - Not always perfect plain - ... ... ...
• Who to CAD for? • What to include? • Who will pay for the time?

Virtual verification of manual assembly tasks
Sofar most ergonomics simulations have been static analyses Most manikin software are closed and hard to integrate with and company specific standards or anthropometrics data are hard to integrate in the tools Volvo Cars is therefore developing an own manikin in a research project together with Volvo Trucks and Scania and Fraunhofer Chalmers Centre. The manikin is dynamic and finds a collision free assembly way, if there is any – IMMA project (Intelligently Moving Manikin in Assembly)

Virtual training of assembly workers (Virtual operator training / pcpt) • PCPT is a virtual training application, and is a complement to traditional operator training • In PCPT the operator can train on different work sequences: which part to assemble? what tool to use? where to perform the assembly? in which order shall the different parts be assembled?
• PCPT also enables the operator to train on different variants, e.g. variants with different engines or specific options. Date Created: November 14, 2016 Digital Factory and Virtual Manufacturing at Volvo Cars, Dr Dan Lämkull, Volvo Cars Group 43 43
Virtual Process Training PCPT is an interactive tool with four different levels of difficulty. Level 1 is the easiest and level 4 is the hardest.
Date Created: November 14, 2016 Digital Factory and Virtual Manufacturing at Volvo Cars, Dr Dan Lämkull, Volvo Cars Group 44 44
Virtual Process Training • If an operator makes a mistake in PCPT immediate feedback from the software will be provided. The operator can also ask for help
• Any mistakes made are presented in an overview after fulfilled sequence
• To be approved on a level, the operator must complete the whole sequence without mistakes

Virtual Process Training Complement to traditional training Especially we are training: - Sequence - Variants - Product knowledge Major benefits: - We can reduce the number of physical cars - Training time reduced by 40-60% - Independent on individual experts - Rather language neutral (pictures instead of text/speech)
- More than 4000 employees have been trained during 2005-2014
