Abstrakt: Industry 4.0 is a basic step in the upgrade of manufacturing companies into digital enterprises. It allows more flexibility in manufacturing, as well as mass customization, provides better quality, and enhances productivity. As a result, it empowers companies to meet the challenges of smart manufacturing which is increasingly individualizing products with shorter time-to-market span and improving quality. Smart manufacturing has an important part in Industry 4.0. This study aims to characterize and analyze a smart manufacturing process designed for a company specialized in the production of brass accessories: spherical bushels. We basically set up a simulation tool to develop a numerical production platform for Industry 4.0 which is able to efficiently operate and manage the production and procurement through material requirement planning (MRP, master production program), logistics warehouse, and cyber-physical production system (CPPS). The findings have been optimized by a new redesigned approach of MRP 2: load-capacity adjustment for smart workshop and Industry 4.0 manufacturing planning. It is the setup of an integrated manufacturing system process, which resulted in reducing the spherical bushels' assembly time and controlling the production and the assembling process. It allowed us to increase the equipment utilization rate by comparing it with the company's former equipment running time prior to switching to smart manufacturing. The proposed model proves that we can successfully optimize the practical application of Industry 4.0 and therefore significantly increase the production efficiency. We are confident that this is the first work addressing the implementation of a simulation platform controlled by a dedicated cyber-physical production system (CPPS) and a master production program (MPP). A case study of a company manufacturing brass accessories is presented in this paper. The developed simulation platform offers the possibility to create a future digital twin of the company.
