Zusammenfassung:The manufacturing industry is increasingly requested to improve reliability, shorten development periods, and reduce development costs in all phases from concept to design and manufacturing. To fulfill these requests, there is a pressing need to promote manufacturing efficiency through the extensive use of information technology (IT). The virtual product simulator (VPS) developed by Fujitsu over a 10-year period is demonstrating its advanced capabilities on various manufacturing worksites in combination with the proliferation of 3D-CAD systems. VPS is based on simulation technologies researched for many years by Fujitsu Laboratories. This paper describes VPS in terms of its background to development, the functions supported, typical examples of application, and future possibilities.
