Abstract
This paper proposes a 3D graphics simulation environment for the analysis and evaluation of the reconfigurable manufacturing system. The reconfigurable manufacturing system consists of mobile robots, input stations, output stations, movable manufacturing cells, and objects to process. The layout of manufacturing cells is optimized by the use of particle swarm optimization. The effectiveness of the simulator is validated through simulation results in some manufacturing cases.
