Abstract
In recent years, many industrial companies have embraced new technologies for Industry 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution. This global manufacturing trend connects real-life industry with the virtual world. Digitalization tools play a crucial role in allowing companies to decrease design and production costs, as well as accelerate the product development process. Regarding an actual industrial case study of an Italian automotive company, this work focuses on the use of digital technologies in designing complex manufacturing systems, showing the benefits that can be obtained with respect to traditional methods. Digitalization tools have aided in the design of intricate manufacturing systems that demand advanced automation to optimize the arrangement, workflow, and equipment configuration within a manufacturing facility or production line. After examining the features of the virtual approach employed by the considered company, the virtual commissioning of a screwing station for an electric axle assembly line is analyzed in detail to show the efficiency and effectiveness of digitalization.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
