Analysis and optimization of the efficient press shop operation

Abstract. In the last decade, stamping and forming manufacturing methods have been widely used in the manufacturing industry, and the stamping and forming industry has gradually shifted from the competition of scale and quantity to the competition of high quality, cost-effectiveness, and multi-category. Therefore, it is of far-reaching significance to study the efficient operation method of the press shop. In this paper, the efficient operation modeling method, digital simulation platform, and production line improvement of the press shop are reviewed. According to analysis, it can be concluded that the dynamic data-driven modeling method is perfect, but the theoretical basis involved in the practical application process is too complicated, therefore, press shop managers may be required to have a certain degree of theoretical basis so that the method can be effectively realized. Besides, the virtual-real combination of digital simulation platforms is easy to operate in the press shop, but the model assumptions analyzed in this paper are too idealized, and potential unresolved problems may arise in the practical application of the press shop with a larger scope and wider coverage. Finally, the production-based transformation of the shop floor production line is a more suitable management method for older factories that are ready for upgrading.
