Abstract

The objective of this research is to develop a data-driven computer simulator to evaluate the performance of an individual robotic manufacturing cell by analysing the interactions between the robot and the machines in the cell. The model has been written in FORTRAN IV, utilizes the SLAM simulation language, and executes on an IBM 3033 computer. To validate the model, the simulation results were compared to the results of a mathematical queueing model. Finally, the analysis of a system wherein a deadlocked situation is expected has been provided as an example.
