Internship | Building graphical simulations to validate executable LSAT models

About this position

When creating models of flexible manufacturing systems (FMSs), it is very important to validate whether the model correctly captures the system. At TNO, we have developed a tool called LSAT to model FMSs, which is used on a regular basis by various companies. Currently, a Gantt chart can be used for model validation, showing the actions and movements performed by the resources over time. While being comprehensive, showing the full schedule, the Gantt chart also quickly becomes hard to read for larger models. This makes it time-consuming to validate whether production schedule is as intended. Graphical simulation is a complementary approach that can aid in model validation. The simulation visualizes the modeled system behavior, showing how resources (e.g., robots, processing stations) interact and how products flow through the system.
