i4Q PA carries out a prescriptive analysis of a production line, considering manufacturing resources, current production planning and process condition, while also proposing process configuration parameters.

Project: i4Q

Publisher: IKERLAN, CERTH, EXOS

Technology: Digital twin

Industry: Industry

INTRODUCTION

The i4Q PA solution is a micro-service consisting of simulation models as services, taking as input the manufacturing resources, current production planning and process condition, and proposing process configuration parameters, ensuring that non-simulation experts may also exploit the prescriptive analysis.

Identifying technical relationships

Select model

Select range of params

Depending on the selected model, the “Select range of params” will allow the user to select a set of model’s parameters and choose those parameters’ range.

Select range of parameters

Collect data

The “Collect data” component will acquire all the data needed to run a simulation, the “Select range of params” component’s variables range within all that data

Define evaluation criteria

In the process of carrying out a prescriptive analysis of a model, after selecting the range of parameters, the user’s following step would be selecting an evaluation algorithm.

Collect data

Request simulations 

Once the “Collect data” component has provided the “Request simulations” component all the required data to carry out a simulation, it will prepare the data to perform individual simulations.

Define evaluation criteria

Perform simulation ranking 

In order to perform a simulation ranking, the “Perform simulation ranking” requires of the simulation’s results and a evaluation criterion, which will be provided by the “Define evaluation criteria” and “Get simulation results' ' components. 

Get simulation results 

Perform simulation ranking

Visualize results

The “Visualize results” component displays the simulations’ and/or Get simulation rankings’ results. 

Get simulation rankings’ results. results
