생산성 향상을 위한 로봇 자동화 공정 시뮬레이션 적용 사례 연구

Case Study on the Application of Robot Automation Process Simulation to Improve Productivity

This study aims to verify the process and results using simulation programs before conducting production process automation using robots to increase productivity at auto-part manufacturing facilities. The automation process was first designed to consist of robots, PLCs, vision systems, etc. Through a field analysis, the designed process was simulated using iCADPlus. The simulation results showed a reduction of 50% in the labor costs in the work process and an improvement of 30% in the productivity. In particular, the simulation was used to identify the costs and productivity of the automation process in advance, which was considerably helpful in establishing a business plan and ensuring business competitiveness.
