Desarrollo de un simulador de sistemas de manufactura flexible con interfaz gráfica basado en redes de Petri

Abstract

This research develops ideas in the application of Discrete Ev en Systems (DES) simulation software for the optimization of Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS), t he DES have intent to identify systems in which events change in a discrete manner one after another, in specific instants of time. Although seemingly simple, DES can model many phenomena one application is the pro ductive process of a company for which the proposed development of a Simula tor with a graphical interface programmed in Java, supported by Petri Nets for represent the dynamic behavi or of systems and use it as a t ool for influencing productivity and competitive- ness of manufacturing companies, facilitating analysis of resou rces, planning and evalu ate different metrics re- lated with production times in th e system. The contribution of simulation software corresponds to an improve- ment for systemic quality that a llows companies to obtain produ cts at a reasonable cost, with increased flexibil- ity and more over optimizing resources.
