Simulation and Logistics
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.
Factory planning and logistics optimization with AnyLogic
acp-IT provides comprehensive material flow, layout planning and simulation support for photovoltaic manufacturing lines. Benefit also from our simulation services. We use the simulation software AnyLogic, a modern and innovative tool. 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.
Factory ramp-up
Our simulation models can also be applied for testing and configuration of your Manufacturing Execution System (MES) solution. Simulated control policies can be adopted directly by MES solutions. The MES can run against the simulation instead of being connected to the real factory. The simulation model provides the essential control events and status changes which will be provided in the real manufacturing line from your equipment. Consequently, the software testing of your MES can be done upfront in a virtual world enabling early error handling and software configuration according to your needs. As a result, factory ramp-up times can be reduces significantly.
AnyLogic simulation software
The simulation software AnyLogic is one of the powerful simulation modeling environments which we apply in many projects.
XJ Technologies produces the AnyLogic simulation software package. Their site has an excellent range of example models and papers. acp-IT is the German distributor for AnyLogic and partner company of XJ Technologies.
