Recently, the manufacturing industry trend is analyzing and improving various failure factors in actual condition by combining 3D environment with existing 2D base in order to minimize manufacturing process or possible future loss.

In fact, in most manufacturing industries, production equipment is manufactured and then modified and improved. As a result, time and resources are lost, so a solution to this problem is urgent.

In other words, if all the manufacturing plants and production equipments are constructed in 3D and simulations can be performed under the same condition as the actual production environment in the virtual space, the irrationality of the factory can be improved in advance, It is possible to expect a tremendous effect such as reviewing the flexibility of the system.

Currently, many S / Ws for the purpose of virtual factory construction and simulation are developed and used in the industrial field. Production planning system that supports or automates the production planning at factories through these S / Ws has already been commercialized at home and abroad .

However, such a software requires a special training course in which specialized knowledge and special skills such as computer programming are required, so that virtual factory construction and simulation work can be performed only by a related field expert or engineer . Therefore, it is unreasonable for general users to perform virtual factory construction and simulation without professional training.

In order to solve such a problem, the present invention aims to provide a platform for supporting a general user to easily perform a virtual factory model construction and a simulation work which should be directly performed by an expert on related software.
