Digital factory

The paper presents the results of research and development of the Digital Factory solutions in industry. The implementation of this technology in industry is described and discussed. The results of research and development cover design of assembly system, its processes, simulations model, ergonomic analysis etc. In the paper are presented the solutions developed in the framework of co-operation with industrial partners like Volkswagen Slovakia, Thyssen Krupp - PSL, Whirlpool. The paper contains results of research realized in 3D laser scanning and digitization of large size objects of the current production systems. The developed and validated methodology shows the procedure of 3D laser scanning application by the digitization of production halls, machine tools, equipment, etc. This procedure was tested and validated in chosen industrial companies. The paper presents achieved benefits and future research goals as well.
