A Proposal of Multi-agent Modeling Approach in SPS Line Simulation Considering Human Centered Design

Abstract

Manufacturing simulation is useful for the efficient operation of custom manufacturing line (SPS line), but at this point, methods have not yet been systematized for the construction of human-centered simulation models.

The current ergonomics has not yet developed standard in considering worker well-beings-oriented manufacturing, thus this research aims to support human-centered approach in production systems. In addition, with the advancement of digital twin technology, there is a growing demand for digitization and modeling of humans. Therefore, this study proposes the concept of modeling and simulation of workers in the SPS line work environment based on these ideas.
