Synopsis

Based on the competition of international production networks, the pressure to - crease the efficiency of production systems has increased significantly. In ad- tion, the number of technical components in many products and as a consequence also the requirements for corresponding assembly processes and logistics pr- esses increases. International logistics networks require corresponding logistics concepts. These requirements can be managed only by using appropriate Digital Factory tools in the context of a product lifecycle management environment, which allows reusing data, supports an effective cooperation between different departments, and provides up-to-date and relevant data to every user who needs it. Simulating the complete material flow including all relevant production, st- age, and transport activities is recognized as a key component of the Digital F- tory in the industry and as of today widely used and accepted. Cutting inventory and throughput time by 20–60% and enhancing the productivity of existing p- duction facilities by 15–20% can be achieved in real-life projects.

About this title

From the Back Cover

This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to Plant Simulation. It supports new users of the software to get started quickly, provides an excellent introduction how to work with the embedded programming language SimTalk and even helps advanced users with examples of typical modeling tasks. The book focuses on the basic knowledge required to execute simulation projects with Plant Simulation which is an excellent starting point for real life projects.
