Siemens Plant Simulation
Plant Simulation is a simulator that can digitally reproduce and verify everything related to the production process.
By using simulation software, it is possible to simulate the flow of goods and people, and visualize and optimize factory KPIs.
From production equipment in factories around the world to specific lines, we can flexibly respond to all kinds of factory plans, improve productivity, improve the utilization rate of equipment and people, find and improve bottlenecks, and reduce inventory. To do.
By reflecting the simulation plan in the actual factory logistics and continuing to compare hypotheses and results, it is possible to continue to improve the most efficient factory logistics process.
You can solve these problems!
By reproducing the factory in virtual space, it is possible to verify various manufacturing performance digitally before implementing improvements in the real factory. This is also valid for bottleneck analysis in 4M. In addition, it is possible to repeat hypothesis verification in any number of patterns to achieve KPIs such as production volume and delivery date.
An example of problem solving
It is possible to solve such problems that occur in the factory.
Features of Plant Simulation
Various factory models can be created flexibly
By simulating various factories, it is possible to visualize the entire factory, facility operating rates, inventory fluctuations, etc. It is possible to reproduce and simulate factories in various industries such as processing and assembly processes and fluid processes.
The effects of simulation are demonstrated not only in automated lines with equipment, but also in human work, line processes, and cell processes.
As long-term simulations such as 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, and 1 year can be executed in a short time, it is possible to verify what kind of things can happen under what conditions during production. can lead to action.
Automatic optimization function
The automatic optimization function* of Plant Simulation is a function that utilizes a genetic algorithm (GA) to calculate the value closest to the optimal solution from among a huge number of simulation patterns. By using this function when performing a simulation with a huge number of combinations, it is possible to derive which pattern is closest to the optimal solution.
By applying this function, you can also use it for planning production plans.

Various functions and interfaces
Equipped with analysis tools such as automatic bottleneck analysis, distribution line diagram, and Gantt chart.
Since there are various interfaces, it is possible to link not only with Excel, but also with databases and core systems.
3D visualization
The simulation is not limited to 2D images, but 3D image display that is closer to the actual site is also available.
Simulation in 3D makes it easier to visually communicate, so it can be used as one of the materials for proposals and explanations. CAD data can also be imported, so it is possible to simulate the appearance of a real factory.

Inquiry
Toward the realization of the digital twin
A digital twin is a mechanism that reproduces real research laboratories and production facilities in a digital space and links them like twins.
Plant Simulation is just one of the tools that enable the realization of a digital twin of a factory.
There are various merits by realizing a digital twin and having a factory in the virtual space.
A digital twin that creates "three movements" that accelerate Digital Manufacturing. Let me show you its true power.
