Abstract (English): This paper examines the development of a virtual factory model to optimize overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in a planned manufacturing facility. Using digital simulations based on a wood manufacturing setup, AI-driven models can be applied to analyze specific OEE metrics, allowing for targeted identification of production bottlenecks and efficiency improvements. The virtual factory enabled scenario testing for the proposed facility, providing actionable insights without impacting current operations. The preliminary results indicate that AI integration within a virtual factory can significantly enhance planning and decision-making for future production investments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Estonian): Uuringus käsitletakse tehisintellektil põhineva analüüsi rakendamist virtuaaltehase mudeli arendamisel eesmärgiga optimeerida tootmisseadmete üldist tõhusust puidutööstusettevõttes. Uuringus kasutati Siemens Plant Simulationi tarkvara, et luua digitaalne kaksik, mis võimaldab tootmisvoogude simulatsiooni ja analüüsi. Lisaks koguti reaalajas andmeid tootmisjuhtimissüsteemi abil, et mudelit täpsustada ja pakkuda dünaamilist ülevaadet tootmisprotsessidest. Kogutud andmete analüüsimiseks rakendati klastrianalüüsi, mis võimaldas tuvastada kitsaskohti ja ressursikasutuse ebatõhusust. Simulatsioonide ja andmepõhiste soovituste põhjal optimeeriti tööjaamade paigutust ja ressursijaotust, mis parandas tootmisvoogude tasakaalu ja vähendas kitsaskohtade esinemist. Tulemused näitavad, et virtuaaltehase mudelite ja tehisintellekti integreerimine aitab tõsta tootmisvoogude tõhusust, vähendada seisakuid ja suurendada investeeringute planeerimise täpsust. Pakutud lähenemine toetab tänapäevase puidutööstuse vajadust paindlike, skaleeritavate ja kulutõhusate lahenduste järele, järgides Industry 5.0 põhimõtteid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
