- Handling flexibility in an ever changing manufacturing environment is one of the key challenges for a successful industry. By using tools for virtual manufacturing, industries can analyze and predict outcomes of changes before taking action to change the real manufacturing systems. This paper describes a simulation tool that can be used to study the effect of level of automation issues on the design of manufacturing systems, including their effect on the overall system performance, ergonomics, environment, and economic measures. Determining a suitable level of automation can provide a manufacturing system with the flexibility needed to respond to the unpredictable events that occur in factory systems such as machine failures, lack of quality, lack of materials, lack of resources, etc. In addition, this tool is designed to use emerging simulation standards, allowing it to provide a neutral interface for both upstream and downstream data sources.

- Standard representations for information entities common to manufacturing simulation could help reduce the costs associated with simulation model construction and data exchange between simulation and other manufacturing applications. This would make simulation technology more affordable and accessible to a wide range of potential industrial users. The Core Manufacturing Simulation Data (CMSD) specification was created to foster the more widespread use of manufacturing simulation technology through the reduction of data interoperability issues. CMSD is a standardized, computer-interpretable representation that allows for the efficient exchange of manufacturing shop-floor-related data in a manner that it can be used to create and execute manufacturing simulations. CMSD was standardized under the auspices of the international Simulation Interoperability Standards Organization (SISO). It defines an information model that describes the characteristics of and relationships between the core manufacturing entities that define shop floor operations. This enables greater integration and data exchange possibilities for manufacturing simulations and other manufacturing applications. This paper presents an overview of CMSD, its motivation, structure, and content. Case studies using CMSD to integrate real world manufacturing applications are also presented.
