Description
Summary:Automating processes has emerged as a significant global trend within the bottling industry, with a rising number ofcompanies now focusing on this aspect. The present study conducted a simulation to optimise a bottling flow using the WITNESS Horizon software. The main objective of increasing the profit was achieved by optimising the bottling flow by modifying working times and implementing two new bottling Unes. In addition, another efficiënt method was presented, which was solved using Kuhn's algorithm to optimise the proposed flow. The system designed in the present study was compared to other systems in the bottling industry market. The research found that the system proposed in this paper was the most efficiënt as it could complete a whole cycle of bottling and packing ten boxes in a shorter time than the other systems.
