Workshop – Optimize, validate, predict and de-risk with simulation
Is the thought of your factory floor keeping you up at night? Are you facing the challenges of inefficient resource utilizations or high production costs? Is your ageing layout causing your people and parts to travel relentlessly? Is your material handling equipment up to the task? Could new shopfloor policies unlock new efficiencies? How can you see the future and improve your ideas?
This one-day workshop will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn how to build a model in three areas of concern to manufacturers: production, material handling, warehousing and commissioning - using the latest in digital twin technology: the Siemens Tecnomatix platform.
Simulation allows you to confidently answer tough questions such as:
- How can I best focus my investments to increase production capacity?
- How can we deploy our people to minimize costs while maintaining our service levels?
- How do we make the most of our limited storage space?
- Will our new control logic work?
- If not, what adjustments will be required?
During this hands-on session, participants will progressively build models in which:
- Workorders flow through the production facility based on Routing and BOMs. As they go from station to station, they consume machine capacity, labor and parts
- Material handling is assured by conveyors, lift-trucks and AGVs
- Receiving and shipping docks are modeled along with their associated warehousing
- Components are consumed triggering resupply orders
- A commissioning model will be built enabling the testing of control logic
This event will be of particular interest to:
- manufacturing executives who wish to gain an appreciation of simulation and its applications
- Plant managers who have projects for which they see a role for simulation and have questions with regards to what is required to make it
- Project engineers that want to jumpstart their modeling initiative
- Facility planners
- Simulation veterans who want to experience the latest innovation in simulation
