Digital factory for human-oriented production system: the integration of international research projects

Digital factory is a comprehensive approach providing methodologies, models and tools that support manufacturing enterprises in the rearrangement of their organizational structures to deal with anticipated changes in manufacturing processes and markets. Digital Factory for Human-oriented Production System investigates the impact of the digital factory through a consideration of the entire product/process lifecycle from design to recycling and disposal phases, andthe broad network of product engineering, material and component suppliers, manufacturing equipment suppliers, and customers involved in current and next generation manufacturing. It covers the utilization and integration of:. human body ergonomics models; production system discrete event simulation; 3D/virtual reality visualization; automatic data capture; and knowledge management systems based on semantic web ontologies integrated by a continuous data management. The coverage of various types of factory and manufacturing phases, representations and simulations allows researchers in academia and industry to performa dynamic analysis and up-to-date modelling of the processes involved. Digital Factory for Human-oriented Production System presents the results and business impact that companies can obtain by adopting these tools and moving towardsthe integrated digital factory. As well as benefiting international organisations, the proposed methodologies and technologies have also been developed in order to facilitate their adoption by small or medium-sized businesses, makingthem relevant to all product engineers and managers who want improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their enterprises. #NAME?
