Course detail
Modelling and Simulation of Production Systems
FSI-GMV-KAcad. year: 2023/2024
The aim of the course is to provide students with the practical knowledge in the field of modern methods for the simulation and modelling of production systems in kontext of Industry 4.0. It focuses primarily on technological processes and manufacturing systems and applies the principles of continuous and discrete simulation for their modelling. The application of simulation methods to designing and controlling discrete systems and processes is analysed, in the field of a strategic planning, operational control and ergonomics.

Entry knowledge
- knowledge of basic principles of production systems and machines and their functionality
- basic knowledge of mathematics in the field of differential equations, matrix operations and statistics
- Basic PC skills including various types of data processing software (Excel, Matlab, etc.).
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
1. Attendance at exercises (except documented excusable absence)
2. Fulfillment of the conditions of continuous control (preparation for exercise, activity during exercise); these requirements will be specified at the beginning of the semester in practice.
3. Elaboration and demonstration of assigned tasks
Examination:
The exam verifies the acquired knowledge. The exam is combined. In the written part verifies the ability of the student to apply the acquired knowledge and methods in the test and in the oral part if necessary verifies the knowledge of theoretical foundations.
Attendance at obligatory lessons is checked and only substantial reasons of absence are accepted. Missed lessons can be substituted for via solution of extra exercises.
Aims
Students will acquire the knowledge necessary for a deeper understanding of the principles and methods used in simulation. They will learn to apply this knowledge in the creation of simulation models in the field of technical, especially production systems.
Students should be able to prepare a simulation model of production, to process and evaluate various alternatives.
