KisPo research project – demo of AI processes for system control

AI process for controlling digital gantry robot twins.
The global and increasingly digital networking of production facilities, machines and logistics centres poses new challenges for the manufacturing industry. “Industry 4.0” requires new solution concepts, as more speed, flexibility, autonomy and, last but not least, sustainability are required. Medium-sized companies in particular are therefore dependent on the development of innovative technologies in order to keep pace with the changes.

Project with Cargo sous terrain: Underground digital logistics system.

“Is the tunnel diameter of 6.6 m sufficient to transport the planned quantities of pallets in the long term?” This was one of the questions Cargo sous terrain (CST) from Switzerland approached us to answer based on a dynamic flow simulation.

CST is a sustainable, automated total logistics system that allows flexible, above-ground and underground transport of pallets and containers. Tunnels connect production and logistics locations with conurbations. The first expansion stage of the network comprises 12 hubs, approx. 74 km of tunnels and is scheduled to go into operation in 2031.

We are pleased to be able to support such a highly innovative logistics project as a partner with our expert knowledge in the field of simulation. The focus of our work is the simulation-based performance determination of individual trades, the overall system, their dimensioning and the detection of weak points.

Value Stream Mapping goes Online

We present our app SimVSM, which can be downloaded free of charge from the AppStore, PlayStore and Micosoft Store.

With SimVSM, you can capture your value stream via drag & drop on a mobile device, create alternative process variants quickly and easily, and analyze your process at the touch of a button. Simulate your process to determine the influence of dynamic parameters such as disturbance variables.

Factory Simulation at Singapore Aero Engine Services (SAESL)

Description: The SAESL factory contains the Maintenance, Overhaul and Repair (MRO) for gas turbine engines. SAESL used Tecnomatix Plant Simulation to evaluate the maximum output of the current plant, because the number of engine types to be maintained will change in the future. With the help of the Plant Simulation model we have tested different variants of possible future scenarios and thus determined the limit capacity of the current factory. In a next step we have supported the design and evaluation of a future factory layout. The simulation model has helped SAESL to understand key KPIs and opportunities to optimize process flow while keeping the cost low.

Revolution in Manufacturing

Software-defined Manufacturing for the Automotive Industry

In a highly volatile market, the automotive and supplier industry must remain economical while being able to respond quickly to changes. A key factor for competition is the adaptability of production systems. Discover the future-oriented solution in the SDM4FZI project: Software-defined Manufacturing (SDM). This concept strictly separates hardware from controlling software and uses digital twins to automatically generate and distribute software. In our video, learn how SimPlan, together with partners like Audi and Bosch, transforms value stream and logistics models into innovative digital twins to boost production efficiency.

Expansion of the Heilsbronn warehouse for FEGA & SCHMITT Elektrogroßhandel

In this simulation study you can see the result of the project for FEGA & SCHMITT Elektrogroßhandel GmbH in Heilsbronn.

SimPlan provided a simulation study during the planning phase – from data simulation to detail simulation of the final concept. The realization was carried out by TGW Systems Integration GmbH.

Data evaluation and analysis with SimAssist (Special Webseminar 2021)

Description: With SimAssist, we have created a professional tool with which you can not only manage your simulation projects and the data used and generated, but also evaluate, optimize and finally transfer them into project documentation. It does not matter which simulation software you have used or which data sources you are working with. In the web seminar, participants will be presented with an overview of the possible uses of the software.
