The Virtual Factory Laboratory is a metaphor for the integration of a variety of software, modeling tools and methodologies to support solutions to a range of problems in the manufacturing domain. In the Virtual Factory, it will be possible to develop detailed models to support system design and operation, to test different system configurations and control policies, in short to manipulate all system features which impact performance, and to see the results of these manipulations, all without disrupting the actual system.

With funding from the Keck Foundation, the Keck Virtual Factory Lab has been established in the School of Industrial and Systems Engineering to further education and research in the development and application of modeling technology for manufacturing systems.
