Workers and qeue in technomatric plant simulation software#
To explore more about Siemens Tecnomatix software product suite, view our Learning Resources. Virtual simulation and analysis utilizing Plant Simulation, can be the tool that gets your plant back up and running, while optimizing throughput, and maximizing worker safety through traffic management to give you the competitive advantage. With this insight the model variants are created and compared to find a better production alternative with less bottle necks, higher throughput per hour and reduced work in progress. The simulation includes tools such as bottle neck analyzer, Sankey chart, Gantt graphic or an electric power consumption analyzer. Using Plant Simulation enables you to optimize all areas of plant operation – all while improving worker safety. Tecnomatix Plant Simulation enables the simulation, visualization, analysis and optimization of production systems, logistics processes, and Traffic Management. If additional modification is required, the system can analyze and suggest adding automation, robotics, moving stations or equipment. For this model, Plant Simulation will run simulations to determine to optimal position of each protective partition in order to reduce or eliminate violations. Each partition can be repositioned to alter the walk path, in order to reduce safe distance violations. Second, the position of the partition can actually influence the walking path of the workers and reduce the number of possible distance violations. You can then modify the model to add protective partitions between the workers, that serve two purposes.įirst, the partition protects adjacent workers from each other. The system will identify where each of these violations occur and keep a running count of violations in any given time frame. I was just wanting a better way to convey changes that need to be made to our plant to our managers and. Yes, Ive been looking at Lean initiatives.
A big help on the cheap is talking to the workers doing the tasks. With Siemens Plant Simulation, you can model your current environment and analyze when any two workers come within a defined distance and then flag that intersection with a red circle. From my observation, the best layout is just using logic and monitoring physical work flow.
The video was created collaboratively by Michael Walker, Tom Hereford and Matthias Heinicke of Siemens Digital Industries Software. Watch the two-minute video, “How to leverage discrete event simulation for social distancing,” to learn more. How can you get your production lines back up and running, yet adhere to social distancing standards? Virtual simulation is the key. Manufacturing companies today are challenged with the need to adjust to the new normal and get their employees back to work, but the safety of their workers is paramount.
