Basic Simulation of Production Flow and Robot Processes
In the course Basic Simulation of Production Flow and Robot Processes, you will gain both practical and theoretical knowledge to develop and analyze production systems using modern simulation tools. The course combines discrete event simulation and robot simulation to give you a comprehensive understanding of how efficient production flows can be created, analyzed, and optimized.
Target group
This course is aimed at those who:
Want to deepen their knowledge of production and robot simulation,
Are interested in practical tools used in industrial simulation and system analysis.
Content
The course consists of two main parts:
Discrete Event Simulation Here you will learn to create production flow lines, manage storage, assembly and disassembly, as well as perform bottleneck analyses and output optimization.
RobotStudio Simulation You will acquire basic skills in building simulations in RobotStudio, including safety aspects, graphical programming, and signal analysis.
After completing the course, you will be able to:
Build and simulate production flows and identify bottlenecks using FACTS Analyzer.
Create stations, programs, and robot simulations in ABB RobotStudio
Practical information
The course consists of approximately 75% practical exercises, where you actively work with simulation tools under supervision.
Assessment is based on a Pass/Fail grading scale, determined by mandatory individual written exercises and assignments that you must complete and pass.
Language of instruction: English
Credits: 3.5 ECTS
Entry requirements
General entry requirements: An engineering degree of 120 credits (including an independent project of 15 credits), or equivalent. Applicants with relevant professional experience are welcome to apply. Two years of relevant work experience are considered equivalent to one year of university studies at the bachelor’s level. Competence may be validated if necessary.
Schedule Spring 2027
The course will be given in the spring of 2027. More information will be available in the fall.
This course is developed within the project Smart Industry phase 2 and funded by the Swedish Knowledge Foundation (KK-stiftelsen). It is free of charge for you.
