, Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system and method for simulation of new manufacturing process by using virtual reality technology. In particular, it is related to manufacturing field.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Simulation modelling solves real-world problems safely and efficiently. It provides an important method of analysis which is easily verified, communicated, and understood. Across industries and disciplines, simulation modelling provides valuable solutions by giving clear insights into complex systems.
Simulation in manufacturing systems is the use of software to make computer models of manufacturing systems, so to analyse them and thereby obtain important information. It has been syndicated as the second most popular management science among manufacturing managers.
The most important objective of simulation in manufacturing is the understanding of the change to the whole system because of some local changes. It is easy to understand the difference made by changes in the local system but it is very difficult or impossible to assess the impact of this change in the overall system.
Simulation can be used to predict the performance of an existing or planned system and to compare alternative solutions for a particular design problem. Another important goal of Simulation in Manufacturing Systems is to quantify system performance.
Currently, the simulation of manufacturing process is done manually. And for doing that it requires real factory data but manufacturing company does not allow to share their real data for simulation because it is very large and sharing that data is really hectic job. Also, for simulation of manufacturing process, it required manufacturing unit environment, which is not possible in real. No company will allow to close company’s daily production for simulation of new process.
As technology become more and more advanced, it tries to give solutions to each and every problem. The present invention discloses the system and method for simulation of new manufacturing process by using virtual reality technology.
The invention application will help simulation team to try the simulation of new process in virtual manufacturing factory without disturbing the original one.
Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds.
Virtual reality is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. Applications of virtual reality can include many sectors and manufacturing is one of them. Virtual reality can change face of manufacturing field with great effort.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The main object of the invention is, the system and method for simulation of new manufacturing process by using virtual reality technology.
Another object of the invention is that, simulation of new process is carried out without disturbing current manufacturing process.
Other object of the invention is, it stimulates the virtual scene and situations of manufacturing company, so simulation of process would look real.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system and method for simulation of new manufacturing process by using virtual reality technology. The invention application installed at backend server. Virtual reality enabled headset is connected to backend server. User/simulation team member has to wear virtual reality enabled headset. As user/simulation team member wear virtual reality headset the virtual scene of manufacturing unit’s scene is seen to him/her. User/simulation team member experience that he/she is the part of that virtual manufacturing unit. User/simulation team member can carry out simulation of new process in the virtual factory.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention discloses the system and method for simulation of new manufacturing process by using virtual reality technology.
The present invention system and method for simulation of new manufacturing process is comprising of components such as;
Backend server – the application of simulation of new manufacturing is installed
Virtual reality enabled headset
Wi-Fi modem - for connectivity between backend server and virtual reality enabled devices such as headset
The present invention implemented in a combination of both hardware and software.
Fig 1 illustrate the present invention system, which is comprising of;
Step 1) The simulation of new manufacturing process application is installed at backend server
Step 2) VR enabled headset is connected with backend server
Step 3) User/simulation team member wear VR enabled headset
Step 4) Virtual reality headset and virtual reality application stimulate virtual scene of virtual manufacturing factory
Step 5) User/simulation team member experience that he/she is the part of that virtual factory and carried out simulation of new process
Here by using this invention, the user/simulation team member can explore deeply simulation of new process in virtual factory.
As we know, visualization is more effective than the text reading of it. As human brain is more attracted towards to audio-video effects rather than text reading.
Here in this invention application, as application starts, it creates virtual scene of virtual factory. The simulation of new manufacturing process is carried out in this virtual factory.
There are some advantages of present invention such as;
Design and prototyping. At this initial stage, Virtual Reality can actually demonstrate how a product would look like without creating a physical prototype.
Prevent accidents and disruptions – As all simulation is carried out in virtual factory it prevents accidents and disruptions.
Real-time employee instruction – As simulation is carried out in virtual environment, all data related to it is real data which provided to virtual system.
No downtime or disruptions – As simulation is carried out in virtual environment there is no downtime or disruptions.
Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds.
