Abstract

The integration of information and communication tech nology into existing business processes effects all areas of a company, including factory planning. The structure of the process of change is based on model-supported pro cesses as well as tools and techniques that are already in use. These include established discrete event simulation tools that have been used in the area of production and logistics planning for several years, and innovative visual ization techniques such as 3-D animation, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR). Visualization has become very necessary in the planning, realization and operation of a factory because the data for the different target groups within a company, from the operating staff up to management, has to be processed into realizable in formation. The authors, motivated by this initial situation, have placed the conceptual universality of the use of meth ods in the foreground, using distributed architecture and the targeted use of 3-D modeling in logistics planning as an add-on to discrete event simulation. This article intro duces a generally applicable concept for the user-defined mapping of discrete event simulation models onto anima tion models, describes the aspects of realization, and con siders integration into an animation pipeline.
