The embodiments described in this application are merely some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the spirit of this invention, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, a simulation evaluation method based on embedded part production planning and scheduling includes: A simulation evaluation method based on embedded parts production planning and scheduling includes: Step 1: Conduct a production line solution review for the embedded part perforation plug welding production line; In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in step 1, the production operation logic and key business data of the embedded part perforation plug welding production line are sorted out and processed according to the format requirements of the simulation model.

[0023] As shown in Figure 2, in a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in step 1, the entire format of the sorting includes the documents, drawings, material tables, acceptance cycles, and tasks of the embedded part perforation plug welding production line.

[0025] The above methods enable a systematic review of the production operation logic and key business data of the embedded part perforation plug welding production line, and complete the standardized processing of the data required for simulation modeling, providing a complete and accurate data foundation for subsequent high-precision simulation modeling and production line optimization.

[0026] Step 2: Build a simulation model for the pre-embedded part perforation plug welding production line; In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in step 2, a simulation modeling tool is used to import CAD layout, model elements, input key information, and write scheduling logic code to construct a simulation model.

[0027] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in step 2, the final simulation model is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the final simulation model includes the following elements: processing unit, storage location, bin, product, AGV and docking point, track, cycle trigger, global variables, logic code, and statistical tools.

[0028] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, step 2 specifically includes: CAD layout import: Import the CAD drawings of the actual production line of the embedded part perforation plug welding production line into the simulation modeling tool, complete the coordinate calibration and spatial mapping of the layout, and ensure that the spatial structure of the model is consistent with the actual production line; Model element modeling: Create basic model elements such as processing units, storage locations, bins, products, AGVs, docking points, and tracks in the simulation environment of the simulation modeling tool, and configure their spatial attributes and business parameters; Key information input: Import key business data such as product specifications, bin types, storage capacity, and AGV operating parameters of the embedded parts perforation plug welding production line to build a material information database; Scheduling logic code writing: Write core logic code such as task triggering strategy, AGV scheduling strategy, and warehouse location sorting strategy for the embedded part perforation plug welding production line, and implement key functions such as task generation, AGV path planning, and warehouse location allocation. Model integration and testing: Integrate the various modules such as CAD layout import, model element modeling, key information input, and scheduling logic code writing into a complete simulation model, and conduct path testing, task flow verification, and scheduling logic debugging to ensure stable model operation; Statistical tool configuration: Configure the statistical tool module to achieve real-time collection and visualization of key performance indicators such as AGV utilization rate, warehouse turnover rate, and task completion rate.

[0029] The simulation model constructed using the above methods can accurately reflect the physical layout and business logic of the embedded part perforation plug welding production line, supporting subsequent production plan evaluation, scheduling strategy optimization, and resource allocation decisions.

[0030] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in step 2, the simulation modeling tool is TecnomatixPlant Simulation software.

[0031] Step 2 involves using simulation modeling tools to sequentially import the CAD layout, model element modeling, input key information, and write scheduling logic code. This ultimately constructs a complete simulation model including processing units, storage locations, bins, products, AGVs and their docking points, tracks, cycle triggers, global variables, logic code, and statistical tools. This method improves modeling efficiency and accuracy, enhances the simulation model's ability to map actual production line operation logic, and provides reliable data support for subsequent production planning evaluation and scheduling optimization.

[0032] In the simulation modeling embodiment of a pre-embedded part perforation plug welding production line in step 2, Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software was used as the simulation modeling tool. Based on the production line CAD layout and business rules of the pre-embedded part perforation plug welding production line, a complete simulation model was constructed, including processing units, storage locations, material bins, products, AGVs and docking points, tracks, cycle triggers, global variables, logic code, and statistical tools. In this embodiment, the model element construction process includes steps such as CAD layout import, model element modeling, key information input, and scheduling logic code writing, as detailed below.

[0033] I. Importing CAD Layouts and Modeling Model Elements First, the 2D CAD layout drawings of the pre-embedded part perforation and plug welding production line were imported into Tecnomatix PlantSimulation software. Coordinate mapping and scaling techniques were used to ensure that the spatial relationship between the layout model and the actual production line was consistent. Subsequently, a modular modeling approach was adopted to sequentially create model elements such as processing units (e.g., loading station, perforation station, plug welding station, inspection station, unloading station), storage locations (raw material temporary storage area, semi-finished product transfer area, finished product loading area), and material bins (standard material bins, customized material bins) in the simulation environment of Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software.

[0034] The processing unit object is configured with its processing cycle, waiting logic, and status feedback interface. For example, the processing cycle of the perforation station is 8 seconds. If there are no tasks currently, it enters an idle state; if a loading completion signal is received, processing automatically starts. The storage location object sets capacity limits, priority rules, and dynamic allocation strategies. For example, the raw material temporary storage area uses a first-in, first-out (FIFO) strategy, while the finished product loading area allocates storage locations based on the shortest AGV path principle.

[0035] II. AGV and Path Modeling In Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software, an AGV resource pool was created, with 5 AGVs configured. Their maximum speed was set to 1.2 m / s, turning radius to 0.5 m, single-charge runtime to 8 hours, and charging strategy to automatically return to the charging station when battery level is low (<20%). Using a path network modeling tool, the connection between AGV stopping points and paths was set, constructing a complete AGV operation route map.

[0036] The AGV scheduling strategy employs the A* algorithm, combining task priority and AGV load status for scheduling. The scheduling logic uses a state machine model, supporting functions such as task queuing, path conflict detection, and automatic obstacle avoidance. For example, when an AGV receives a task request, it first determines its current load status. If it is empty, it proceeds to the designated storage location to load products; if it is loaded, it proceeds to the target workstation to execute the task.

[0037] III. Tick Trigger and Global Variable Settings To achieve production line rhythm control, a cycle time trigger module is set up, defining task triggering conditions and execution priority rules. For example, the task triggering condition for the piercing station is the completion signal from the loading station, and the task priority is medium. If the current piercing station is idle, the task will be executed automatically; if it is busy, it will enter the task queue to wait.

[0038] Global variables are used to manage key operating parameters such as AGV status, warehouse inventory, and task queue. For example, AGV status variables include four states: empty, loaded, charging, and waiting; warehouse inventory variables record the current number of loaded items and available capacity of the warehouse; and task queue variables store a list of tasks to be executed and sort them by priority.

[0039] IV. Integration of Logic Code and Statistical Tools The scheduling logic code is written in SimTalk to implement task flow control (such as triggering AGV scheduling upon task completion), exception handling (such as automatically pausing task generation when a workstation is blocked), and data interaction (such as real-time updating of statistical tool data sources). For example, after an AGV completes a task, the logic for the next task allocation is automatically triggered, and the task queue is updated according to the warehouse location status.

[0040] The statistics tool module integrates a real-time data acquisition framework, storing key performance indicators (KPIs) such as AGV utilization, task waiting time, and warehouse turnover rate through a time-series database. Combined with a visual dashboard, it displays information such as AGV running paths, task execution status, and warehouse usage, supporting multi-dimensional analysis (such as calculating processing time by product type and analyzing task load balancing by AGV number).

[0041] Step 3: Conduct a production plan assessment for the embedded part perforation plug welding production line; In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in step 3, the evaluation content of the embedded part perforation plug welding production line is refined, and the production plan of the embedded part perforation plug welding production line is analyzed and optimized from multiple dimensions, and presented in the form of models and charts.

[0042] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in step 3, the production plan is input into the simulation model to obtain a detailed report of the simulation output. The detailed report includes the number of completed orders, AGV scheduling tasks, AGV efficiency, maximum number of pending tasks, statistics of cache locations and material boxes, integration of logic code and statistical tools, etc.

[0043] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, step 3 specifically includes: Capacity Assessment: Based on simulation data from the simulation model (i.e., the detailed simulation output report), cycle time analysis is used to identify bottleneck workstations on the production line. By statistically analyzing the processing cycle and waiting time of each workstation, a cycle time distribution chart is constructed, and the deviation rate between theoretical maximum capacity and actual capacity is calculated. For example, if the average waiting time at the piercing workstation is 3 seconds, while other workstations have no waiting time, then the piercing workstation is the bottleneck. Parameter scanning technology is used to dynamically adjust the processing cycle of each workstation, optimize cycle time matching, and improve overall capacity.

[0044] AGV Quantity Assessment: Combining AGV scheduling logs and path planning data, a correlation model between AGV load rate and task completion rate is constructed. Sensitivity analysis is used to assess the impact of different AGV numbers on task completion rate; for example, increasing the number of AGVs from 5 to 6 increases the task completion rate from 92.5% to 97.8%. Path heatmaps are used to visualize congestion points on AGV operating paths, optimizing path connections or adding temporary waiting points to reduce path conflicts and idle rates. Tote box quantity assessment: Based on warehouse inventory data and tote box turnover records, calculate tote box inventory turnover rate and warehouse location utilization rate; for example, the average turnover cycle of standard tote boxes is 45 minutes, while that of customized tote boxes is 60 minutes, indicating that standard tote boxes are more efficient. Machine learning algorithms are used to analyze historical data and dynamically optimize warehouse location allocation rules (such as automatically prioritizing frequently used warehouse locations) to reduce AGV path length and waiting time.

[0045] Raw material storage area assessment and post-processing loading area assessment: By analyzing buffer location statistics and bin distribution data, the rationality of the location configuration in the raw material storage area and loading area is evaluated. For example, if 30% of the locations in the raw material temporary storage area have a utilization rate below 50%, it is recommended to adjust the location priority rules or reduce the number of locations. A spatial heatmap is used to display location usage frequency, and the location layout is optimized in conjunction with AGV path optimization to improve location turnover efficiency and AGV scheduling efficiency.

[0046] Step 4: Provide production line guidance for the embedded part perforation plug welding production line.

[0047] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in step 4, based on the output results of the simulation model, that is, the detailed report of the simulation output, combined with management experience and production status, the production plan is issued, the production process is monitored, and the plan is reviewed.

[0048] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, in step 4, simulation results under different types of production scenarios are evaluated to guide production planning for various real-world scenarios. An overview of the summarized simulation results is as follows: Figure 4 As shown.

[0049] In a preferred but non-limiting embodiment of the present invention, step 4 specifically includes: Simulation Result Analysis and Production Scenario Matching: Using the statistical charts built into the simulation model (some chart content can be further developed using the program), key indicators such as order completion rate, AGV task completion rate, and warehouse utilization rate are extracted. Combined with real-world production data (such as order type, equipment status, and personnel configuration), a production scenario classification model is constructed, matching the current scenario to the optimal solution in the simulation result database; for example, if the current order is for high-precision customized parts and the AGV failure rate is high, the solution in the simulation is to increase the number of AGVs by 10%.

[0050] Order quantity recommendation: Based on historical order data and simulation results, an order batch recommendation model is constructed. Based on simulation data and actual production capacity, order batches are recommended. For example, if it is predicted that the order volume will increase by 20% in the next 3 days, it is recommended to adjust the single batch order from 100 pieces to 120 pieces, and optimize the cycle time of each workstation to match the production capacity demand.

[0051] AGV Quantity Recommendation and Scheduling Task Analysis: Combining the AGV efficiency analysis module and path heatmap, the number of AGVs and scheduling strategies can be flexibly adjusted. For example, when simulation shows that the AGV idle rate exceeds 20%, it is recommended to reduce one AGV and optimize the task allocation logic. If AGV path conflicts are frequent, it is recommended to adjust the priority rules or add temporary waiting points. Based on the scheduling rules, the impact of different AGV quantities on task completion rate is evaluated, and the optimal configuration is dynamically recommended.

[0052] Recommended hopper quantity and storage location: Based on inventory turnover rate model and spatial heat map, a dynamic storage location allocation strategy is constructed. For example, if the turnover cycle of standard hoppers is 45 minutes, while that of customized hoppers is 60 minutes, it is recommended to increase the inventory of standard hoppers and prioritize their allocation to frequently used storage locations. A multi-objective optimization algorithm (such as NSGA-II) is used to comprehensively consider inventory turnover rate, path distance, and storage location priority to dynamically optimize the storage location allocation rules, reducing AGV path length and waiting time.

[0053] Real-time monitoring and anomaly warning of the production process: Construct a real-time monitoring module to collect data on AGV running status, workstation processing status, and warehouse inventory, and compare and analyze the data with the simulation prediction values. Use anomaly detection algorithms (such as random forest) to identify abnormal fluctuations. For example, trigger an alarm when the AGV task completion rate is 10% lower than the simulation value, and recommend adjusting the number of AGVs or optimizing the scheduling strategy. Planned review and continuous optimization: Based on the differences between simulation and actual operation data, a review analysis model is built; for example, if the actual order completion rate is 5% lower than the simulation value, bottlenecks are analyzed through causal reasoning (such as increased waiting time at the perforation station), and scheduling strategies are optimized or resource allocation is adjusted. Digital twin technology is used to achieve two-way data synchronization between the simulation model and the actual production line, supporting continuous iterative improvement.

[0054] Future improvements include: introducing an advanced scheduling module to enable online optimization of production line guidance strategies. For example, dynamically adjusting AGV scheduling rules and warehouse allocation strategies based on actual operational data to improve model generalization capabilities. Furthermore, leveraging digital twin technology to build a virtual-physical integrated production line guidance platform that supports rapid adaptation and decision optimization across multiple scenarios.

[0055] Key advantages of this invention include: 1. The evaluation results are highly accurate. Through data integration and logical analysis, a model with a high degree of accuracy matching the actual production line is built, providing effective data support for production planning.

[0056] 2. The model is highly reusable and can provide guidance for the production of different types of orders and future new product orders.

[0057] 3. The model is easy to operate, requiring only simple steps to run and allowing users to intuitively view the simulation results, making it user-friendly for factory users.

[0058] 4. The calculation and derivation speed is fast. The model combines the advantages of software and adopts the simplification of the number of modules and optimization of code logic in the development process. It can simulate continuous production for many hours multiple times on a time basis of minutes, avoiding long waiting time.

[0059] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows, compared with the prior art: This invention outlines production line solutions for embedded part perforation plug welding production lines; builds simulation models for embedded part perforation plug welding production lines; evaluates production plans for embedded part perforation plug welding production lines; and provides production line guidance for embedded part perforation plug welding production lines. It employs professional simulation modeling software as a solution tool, and based on human experience and on-site projects, builds a highly accurate and stable simulation model that closely matches the actual embedded part perforation plug welding production line, providing strong support for project planning, verification, and optimization.

[0060] This invention constructs a virtual pre-embedded part production and logistics model as a prediction of the actual production plan. It can assist in production management and guide the production plan before the project is implemented, thereby achieving efficient production line production and assisting in monitoring the production process and reviewing the production plan.
