Title
Combining point cloud technologies with discrete event simulation
Abstract
Utilizing point cloud models from 3D laser scans for visualization of manufacturing facilities and systems provides highly realistic representations. Recent developments has improved the accuracy of point cloud models in terms of color and positioning. This technology has the potential to generate savings in time and money compared to traditional methods. Visualization in terms of accurate geometrical factory data has traditionally not been feasible when developing discrete event simulation (DES) models. Currently, methods for utilizing point clouds in DES models are lacking. Better visualization could improve communication of results and make them available to a wider target audience. Creating methods to combine point cloud technologies with DES would enable realistic visualization and improved accuracy including level of detail regarding geometric representation in DES models.
