Description
Summary:As the key of manufacturing systems, human factor becomes more and more important in design, planning and decision making stages. In this paper state-of-the-art Virtual Factory (VF) are described regarding the human oriented point of view. To address the two major research questions, this paper proposes a novel human-centered VF concept. Then, according to this concept, the experimental design is introduced and an implementation example of sound simulation is shown in a rebuilt factory model. In addition, to facilitate the planning process in manufacturing system, the simulation results are implemented in Virtual Reality (VR). To do this, a Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE) is used as experimental platform.
