Simulation of Automated Production, 3 Credits

Simulering av automatiserad produktion, 3 Högskolepoäng

Established: 2025-09-11

Established by: Department of Engineering Science

Applies from: V26

Learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student should be able to:

Knowledge and understanding

• demonstrate insight into discrete event simulation (DES), including events and how time progresses.

Comptence and skills

• independently construct DES models based on a requirements specification.
• verify and validate DES models, as well as demonstrate understanding of specification, data collection, and analysis for DES.
• model automated production segments and perform simulation experiments.

Entry requirements

General entry requirements and approved result from the following course/courses: RSM700-Robotic Simulation and RBS700-Robotic Systems I or the equivalent.

The forms of assessment of student performance

Individual laboratory work with oral presentation. Individual exam. Individual project with individual written and oral presentation.

Course contents

The course covers the fundamentals of Discrete Event Simulation (DES), focusing on modeling automated production systems and how these can be represented using simulation tools. Based on requirement specifications, DES models are constructed by implementing logic, resources, and flows. The course also includes verification and validation of models, as well as methods for data collection and analysis of simulation results.

Other regulations

Course grading: F/Fx/E/D/C/B/A - Insufficient, Insufficient- more work required before the credit can be awarded, Sufficient, Satisfactory, Good, Very Good, Excellent
