Abstract

Since the era of CIM (computer integrated manufacturing) in the 1980s, the complex tasks, such as factory planning, product development, production planning and -control have been strongly supported by software. These tasks are among the major application fields of the digital factory concept and its tools like simulation. Although the digital factory has never been entirely in productive environments, it experiences a renaissance through new concepts like the digital shadow or the digital twin in the context of a progressive digitization trend in production. This trend called Industrie 4.0 aims at a holistic connection of all resources including humans to achieve an autonomous self-regulating factory. Despite many existing solutions, there is no holistic planning support available – not even in SMEs (small and medium enterprises). For this reason, this paper describes a vision for holistic planning with the aid of digital factory tools and describes a new approach for an implementation process from a macroscopic perspective.
