Designing a serious simulation game improves automation learning in manufacturing, suggesting effective Karakuri use.
Automation in industrial development is one of the requirements for a manufacturer to increase productivity. This is often accompanied by a big cost with modern machinery. Karakuri is a concept from Japan that utilizes a mechanism by using the laws of simple physics so it doesn't require quite complicated machinery and relatively low cost. This study aims to design a Serious Simulation Game mechanic for learning media in Karakuri concept. Serious Simulation Game is designed to provide real case studies faced by players with unlimited decision-making and provide direct feedback from decisions taken to build mental models of the players. The mechanics used consists of game mechanics and learning mechanics. The results of this study are a basis that can be used for making a complete game to learn Karakuri through simulation to stimulate players to consider using the Karakuri concept for material handling automation solutions.
