Abstract
This paper describes a Web-based simulation using three-dimensional models for manufacturing and material handling. The goal of this study is to construct a simulation environment that builds a virtual machine representing real equipment and a virtual factory collecting the virtual machine through a global communication network and executes them. This simulation environment is called World Wide Simulation Environment(WISE). The simulation environment is built with a new object-oriented language and architecture.
In this paper, arguments about simulation in manufacturing are clarified in order to identify requirements for next-generation manufacturing simulation systems. Then, models that meet the requirements of this concept are reviewed and, where suitable, are proposed for WISE. Furthermore, a system for demonstrating a Web-based virtual manufacturing simulator system is described in order to verify the operability of the system.
