ABSTRACT

Cellular manufacturing is a process that groups similar machines, workstations, and processes in a dedicated area to maximize efficiency and reduce production time. A well-designed cellular manufacturing facility layout can increase productivity and decrease manufacturing costs. To optimize the layout design of a cellular manufacturing facility, digital twin simulation can be used. Digital twin simulation involves creating a virtual replica of a physical system or process to simulate and optimize various scenarios. By utilizing digital twin simulation, manufacturers can identify potential bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and other issues that could impact design and leading to cost savings and increased productivity. This paper will explore the concept of maximizing efficiency and cost savings through digital twin simulation, specifically focusing on optimizing cellular manufacturing processes. The paper will discuss the benefits of digital twin simulation, provide examples of its applications in cellular manufacturing.
