Constructing and planning new halls takes place with CAD programs by default. But modern tools for planning and processing have many more features. Whole factories can be simulated virtually with them at the computer already in the run-up to the planning. They work in a dry run, before the foundation stone of a new factory has been laid finally.
Your advantages
Customized dimensioning
Cycle time calculation
Performance review
Comparing the alternatives with realtime, simulation time and long-term characteristics
Virtual bottle neck analysis
Long-dated availability forecast
Performance optimization with
different target parameters
Optimizing the processes
Cost saving with rebuilding and setting-up
Long-term reliability
Simulation of migration scenarios
Better risk management during the realization
Any installation, any means of transport and any process relevant machine with realtime parameters can be used for the simulation. Detailed conclusions about the interactions between the different system units can be made in this way already during the planning stage and different combinations can be compared computer-assisted.
What are the benefits of simulation?
With a realistic simulation you can make important statements about the to be expecting performance. The spectrum encompasses the simple capacity planning and the optimization of detailed work flows. It includes medium-term and long-term questions next to basic ones, as the quantity of fork lifts, which is required for a clearly defined handling capacity. By default it is been analyzed, whether a more powerful machine can be supplied also over the same configuration in the future.
With it you can forcast previously bottle necks of the machine while interacting with planned system components, even before they go on-line effectively. So you early get hints to possible shortages in medium-term or long-term future. These considerations save the location in the long-run and reduce operational and follow-up costs substantially.
