Introduction

• Modeling of manufacturing process chains
  • typically discrete event modeling
  • lots of popular tools
• Approaches for adding energy consumption
  • single process: continuous (ODE)
  • process chain: mostly discrete event methods
  • hybrid modeling
    • simulator coupling
    • inline integration as discrete events
• A modular and accurate solution
  • hybrid simulation environment with different modeling paradigms
    • here: MATLAB/Simulink + SimEvents + Stateflow + Simscape
  • clear layered structure with subcomponents for
    • material flow
    • control operations
    • physical machine operations
  • easy replacement of layer components for different levels of detail
