SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DEFINING A SENSOR LAYOUT FOR PALLET ROUTING IN A MANUFACTURING ENVIRONMENT

A method includes defining a sensor layout of a digital twin based on one or more sensor parameters and one or more routing control locations of the digital twin. The method includes simulating a manufacturing routine of a plurality of pallets and a plurality of workstations based on one or more pallet parameters associated with the plurality of pallets and one or more workstation parameters associated with the plurality of workstations and calculating, for each routing control location from among the one or more routing control locations, a transient production value and a steady state production value based on the manufacturing routine. The method includes iteratively adjusting the sensor layout of the digital twin until each transient production value is less than or equal to a threshold transient production value and each steady state production value is less than or equal to a threshold steady state production value.
