Applications are invited for a temporary post of a UCD Post-doctoral Research Fellow Level 1 or Level 2 within Mechanical & Materials Engineering.
DigitalPlan is a 1-year funded project by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) with the aim of developing a learning path for industry-based manufacturing employees and university engineering students to learn how to utilise a digital 3D facility layout planning decision support system.
A productive facility layout is vital in all manufacturing companies. However, there is a knowledge gap in deploying and using state of the art 3D digital facility layout design tools in engineering and manufacturing companies. DigitalPlan will offer a learning path that will equip engineering and manufacturing employees, especially from SMEs, as well as engineering students and professionals to understand in depth the theory and practice related to facility layout design and planning, using digital manufacturing solutions. In order to enrich the content of the proposed learning path, the functionalities of an already existing facility layout design tool will be extended. The updated collaborative multi-stage simulation-based decision support system will be utilised to accomplish complex tasks, such as facility layout design, the allocation of tasks to available resources, workload balancing as well as the validation of the proposed design against demand. Two academic (University College Dublin, Ireland and University of Patras, Greece) and two industrial partners (KUKA Robotics Ireland, and CASP, Greece).
