Combines integrated design environment with AI
simulation
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today it
has developed a new technology for the efficient design of
production floor layouts and material flows as well as the accurate
estimation of productivity using Mitsubishi Electric’s Maisart®*
artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The combined technology
enables comparison of highly accurate production line improvement
plans and reduce the time it takes to roughly half the time
normally required. * Mitsubishi
Electric's AI creates the State-of-the- ART in
technology
Key Features
1) Integrated design of layout and materials flow raises
planning efficiency
The new technology integrates the designing of production-floor
layouts and materials flow for the quick identification and
resolution of potential issues, which is a challenge in
conventional nonintegrated design environments. The new technology
also visualizes information such as distance-intensity (DI)
analytical data which is generated dynamically as improvements are
designed. Layouts, material flows, speed of materials moving
between processes, etc. can be displayed with easy-to-understand
graphics to enhance the quality of planning.
2) AI simulations enable precise estimates of expected
productivity gains
The technology automatically generates data for reliable
production-volume calculations based on data from actual production
processes, such as changes in process times and work efficiencies.
Using these data, production volume can be simulated with more than
90 percent accuracy. Also, multiple improvement plans can be
compared in terms of expected productivity.
