Emulation of an AVG : Exploring Virtual Commissioning of Automated Guided Vehicles

The manufacturing industry is currently being digitalized to make production more efficient. One of the tools that are being implemented in such industries is Virtual Commissioning (VC). In this context, Jernbro Industries wants to keep up with this trend; they wish to know how feasible it is to perform Virtual Commissioning of their Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV). That said, the project aims to investigate and evaluate the feasibility of building and using a virtual model of an AGV for future Virtual Commissioning. A 3-phase process (characterization, creation and emulation) is used following a design and creation methodology. After studying the frame of reference and literature review of this project, the development takes place. This development, which has been done with the Simumatik Open Emulation Platform, consists of examining each AGV’s component, thinking how its operation can be reproduced, building it, integrating it into the same system. Finally, it will be emulated, using the control program that has been written. Some of the conclusions that have been drawn are that the complexity of this kind of system resides in the physics of the device and the level of detail that wants to be achieved. However, creating the functional and visual part of the components is an achievable task besides it is time-consuming.
