Modeling and simulating the production process of a metal cutting line consists in creating a virtual representation of the process and analyzing its behavior in scenarios. The objective of this study is to improve the process by identifying inefficient activities and optimizing the involved parameters. To create a model of the production process of a sheet metal cutting line, factors such as workers, specifications of the machines and slitting process parameters (such as cutting length) are considered. Simulating the production process of a metal cutting line can help identify possible problems such as wear of cutting knives, excessive force on the material, displacement of knives from specified positions, etc. Simulation can be used to adjust process parameters, improve the quality of sheet metal cuts and reduce waste.
