Abstract
A method for automatically generating a bill of process in a manufacturing system comprising: receiving design information representative of a product to be produced; iteratively performing simulations of the manufacturing system; identifying manufacturing actions based on the simulations; optimizing the identified manufacturing actions to efficiently produce the product to be produced; generating, by the manufacturing system, a bill of process for producing the product. Simulations may be performed using a digital twin of the product being produced and a digital twin of the environment. System actions are optimized using a reinforcement learning technique to automatically produce a bill of process based on the design information of the product and task specifications.
