Syftet med detta projekt är att utvärdera ModFix som verktyg och arbetsmetoden för att skaps fixturer med ModFix. ModFix är ett verktyg som är integrerad i Siemens simuleringsmiljön Process Simulate och används för att skapa modulära fixturer. Målsättningen med arbetsmetoden där fixturer skapas med ModFix är att ledtiden och mantimmarna för att skapa fixturer ska reduceras med 50 % i jämförelse med Volvo Cars nuvarande arbetsmetod där fixturer skapas med Catia V5. ModFix-verktyget består av tre funktioner. Dessa funktioner är; Configuration Administrator, Fixture Designer och Modular Fixture Mapping Report. Configuration Administrator är ModFix´s administrationsverktyg och används för att skapa de fixturbaser och fixturkonfigurationer som senare används för att skapa modulära fixturer med Fixture Designer. Fixture Designer används för att skapa kompletta modulära fixturer. Modular Fixture Mapping Report är den funktion som används för att generera en rapport som specificerar mappningen mellan de fixturenheterna och de referenspunkter (PLPs/”frames”) där produkten fixeras. Fördelarna med arbetsmetoden där fixturer skapas med ModFix i jämförelse med den nuvarande arbetsmetoden är bland annat att fixturen hela tiden befinner sig i samma utvecklingsmiljö och den extra frihetsgraden att roboten simuleras parallellt med att fixturen skapas för att kunna undvika kollisioner. Även att ModFix automatiskt ger förslag på fixturkonfigurationslösningar för att fästa fixturelementen mot fixturbasen och att fixturer som skapas med ModFix är moduluppbyggda av standardkomponenter är två andra fördelar med arbets­metoden där fixturer skapas med ModFix jämfört med då fixturer skapas med den nuvarande arbetsmetoden. Resultatet av detta projekt visar att ModFix kan reducera mantimmarna betydligt mer än 50 % för att skapa fixturer jämfört med att skapa fixturer med den nuvarande arbetsmetoden. Ledtiden för att skapa fixturer med ModFix reduceras ännu mer än mantimmarna jämfört med då fixturer skapas med den nuvarande arbetsmetoden där fixturer skapas med Catia V5. / The aim of this project is to evaluate ModFix and its work method used to create fixtures with ModFix. ModFix is integrated in the simulation environment Process Simulate, provided by Siemens. ModFix is used to create modular fixtures. The objective with the work method where fixtures are created in ModFix is to reduce lead-time and man-time with 50 % in comparison with the current work method at Volvo Cars where fixtures are created in Catia V5. The tool ModFix consists of three functions. These functions are; Configuration Administrator, Fixture Designer and Modular Fixture Mapping Report. Configuration Administrator is the administration tool in ModFix and is used to create the fixture bases and the fixture configurations as subsequently are used to create modular fixtures with Fixture Designer. Fixture Designer is used to create complete modular fixtures. The Modular Fixture Mapping Report function is used to create a report that specifies the mapping between the fixture units and the reference points (PLPs/frames) where the product is fixed. The benefits with the work method where fixtures are created with ModFix in comparison with the current work method includes that the fixture constantly stays in the same development environment and the possibility to simulate the robot in parallel with creating the fixture to avoid collisions. That ModFix automatic gives suggestions of fixture configuration solutions to attach the fixture element to the fixture base and that fixtures created with ModFix are modular built up of standard components are two other benefits with the work method where fixtures are created with ModFix in comparison with the current work method. The result of this project shows that ModFix can reduce the man-time significant more than 50 % to create fixtures with ModFix in comparison with the current work method where fixtures are created in Catia V5. The lead-time can be reduced even more than the man-time when using ModFix to create fixtures in comparison with the current work method.

La conservation des informations dans les industries dont le processus de transformation est divergent à toujours posé d'important contraintes, et l'industrie du bois n'y manque pas. Les solutions de traçabilité existantes à l'heure actuelle ne permettent pas de conserver ces informations tout au long du cycle de vie du produit bois. L'objectif de cette thèse est de montrer la faisabilité de deux concepts permettant d'améliorer la conservation de l'information : le paradigme de matière communicante et le paradigme de Virtual Manufacturing. Avec le premier paradigme, il est possible de conserver les informations relatives à l'origine du produit grâce à un marquage chimique introduit dans l'ensemble de la matière que nous identifions par Résonance Quadrupolaire Nucléaire. Dans le deuxième paradigme pour anticipons les caractéristiques biométriques des produits finaux en numérisant la matière et en virtualisant les opérations de transformation. Grâce à cela, il est possible de déterminer, malgré l'imperfection des données et des décisions les caractéristiques des produits / Information conservation in the divergent process has always imposed important constraints. In the Wood industry, in which the problem is present, has no solution to conserve information all along the wood life cycle. This thesis goal is to validate the use of two new paradigms allowing improving the information conservation: the communicating material and the virtual manufacturing. With the first one, the wood material is intrinsically marked with chemical product which can be identify with the Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance and allow conserving the material origin. With the second one, it is possible to anticipate sawmill production by foresee the final product characteristics
