  • A 3D immersive discrete event simulator for enabling prototyping of factory layouts 
    Oyekan, John; Hutabarat, Windo; Turner, Christopher J.; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Prajapat, Neha; Ince, Nadir; Gan, Xiao-Peng; Waller, Tony (Elsevier, 2015-10-27)
    There is an increasing need to eliminate wasted time and money during factory layout design and subsequent construction. It is presently difficult for engineers to foresee if a certain layout is optimal for work and material ...
  • Combining virtual reality enabled simulation with 3D scanning technologies towards smart manufacturing 
    Hutabarat, Windo; Oyekan, John; Turner, Christopher J.; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Prajapat, Neha; Gan, Xiao-Peng; Waller, Anthony (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2017-01-19)
    Recent introduction of low-cost 3D sensing and affordable immersive virtual reality have lowered the barriers for creating and maintaining 3D virtual worlds. In this paper, we propose a way to combine these technologies ...
  • Impact of model fidelity in factory layout assessment using immersive discrete event simulation 
    Petti, Alessandro; Hutabarat, Windo; Oyekan, John; Turner, Christopher J.; Tiwari, Ashutosh; Prajapat, Neha; Gan, Xiao-Peng (Operational Research Society, 2016-04-13)
    Discrete Event Simulation (DES) can help speed up the layout design process. It offers further benefits when combined with Virtual Reality (VR). The latest technology, Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR), immerses users in ...
  • Survey on the use of computational optimisation in UK engineering companies 
    Tiwari, Ashutosh; Hoyos, Paula Noriega; Hutabarat, Windo; Turner, Christopher J.; Ince, Nadir; Gan, Xiao-Peng; Prajapat, Neha (Elsevier, 2015-01-22)
    The aim of this work is to capture current practices in the use of computational optimisation in UK engineering companies and identify the current challenges and future needs of the companies. To achieve this aim, a survey ...
