Research on Processes Simulation and Reconfiguration for Piston Production Lines

A piston production line is built in virtual simulation environment based the existing processes and layout. Its simulation result is shown with figure and graphic. Based on those results, some reconfiguring advices are supplied and also simulated on virtual environment. After reconfiguring the piston production line, many results are obtained by simulation, and it is shown that: the work-piece in processing (WIP) is reduced obviously, and its machines, labors and processes are decreased evidently.
