Simulation of Manufacturing Lines and Systems
acp-IT accompanies you during design, simulation and optimization of your manufacturing systems. We are a competent and experienced specialist for material flow and logistics planning. Using advanced planning techniques and simulation software environments along with our comprehensive logistics know-how, we are able to support the planning and ramp-up of new production lines in an optimal way. Also for the optimization of logistics operation of existing production lines acp-IT provides the adequate experience and tools regarding:
- Resource capacity
- Value stream design
- Material flow
- Layout configuration
- Transport., material handling and storage processes
- Conception and planning of automation solutions (storage, transport, identification)
- Optimization of logistics in already existing production systems
- Performance evaluation based on real factory data and identification of bottlenecks
- Development and continuous monitoring of key performance indicators (KPI) and analysis of efficiency measures (e.g. OEE - overall equipment efficiency)
- Implementation of logistics strategies (Kanban, Just-In-Time, Just-In-Sequence)
Factory planning and logistics optimization with AnyLogic
We use the simulation software AnyLogic, a modern and innovative tool for simulation modelling. Our InFrame Synapse Simulation Suite allows modelling of manufacturing lines in few steps with consideration of detailed material flow control policies. Therefore, we are able to answer essential questions with regard to factory planning and operation of new or already existing manufacturing lines. In simulation studies we answer your questions with regard to throughput maximization, line balancing and optimum capacity allocation.
