Abstract

The paper focuses on presentation of innovative paint shop concept for automotive industry, based on Industry 4.0 idea. Work begins with introduction of Virtual Engineering and Virtual Commissioning methods. Using virtual environments to test and verify new solutions allows to check them efficiency before implementing these ideas in the real plant. The main goal of the research is to improve paint shop efficiency and productivity. The simulation station, used for the purpose of research, is presented from hardware and software point of view. For the considered case study new selected heuristics, based on modification of existing ones, are proposed. The obtained results are compared and presented in the paper.
