Discrete Event Simulation

Production and logistics systems have become more and more complex in regards of flexibility, dynamics and the amount of internal and external influencing factors. Statically determined results are very often not accurate enough to reflect those factors. Discrete event simulation is capable of reproducing complex production and logistic systems within a digital model, which allows for a dynamic analysis of area requirements, lead-times, bottlenecks or resource utilisation. Based on the customized data of a central project database we are able to simulate different value streams, control strategies or logistic systems and to analyse and compare the outcome in order to select the best possible alternative in reality.

3D-Simulation

The application of 3D-Simulation allows for an efficient and independent design of lines and workstations. It can be used for ergonomic analysis, determination of realistic cycle times, collision detection in semi-automated processes or for line balancing of multi-worker lines. Prior to a physical realization, workstation setup and resulting cycle-times can be simulated in a virtual environment and potentials for further improvements identified.
