Abstract [en]

Simulation is becoming increasingly important in today's world due to the need to constructor improve projects more rapidly and effectively without incurring financial risk. The plant simulation tool plays an important role since it gives justified visual statistics. VBG Truck Equipment company makes trailer couplings, automatic snow chains, and sliding roofs. In the last decade, VBG has provided more couplings or snow chains to the truck and trailer automotive industry. Adding AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) to update their internal logistics system is part of an endeavor to stay current with industrial technological improvements while cutting long-term operating costs and enhancing material movement.This thesis motivates us on VBG Truck Equipment production one step closer to industry 4.0. They intend to begin this trip by investigating the feasibility of replicating their production flows and extending that simulation into a discrete event simulation and integration of AGV in the automated paint floor plant environment giving results of AGV through putmatching or exceeding the present real-time plant operations. The company aims to replace forklift manual operations and implementation of AGV operations with scheduling of orders as per priority. Aims and experiments were achieved concerning the model and the results have been discussed in the section below.
