Simulation of production systems and processes using Tecnomatix Plant Simulation 11

Summary

Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is a discrete-event simulation tool for the planning, realisation and establishment of production systems and processes, the flow of materials and logistic operations. It is used for the exploration and optimization of systems' characteristics for all levels of plant planning from workplaces at shop floor level, through local plants, to worldwide distributed production facilities.

This course will introduce users to the basics of Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. They are able to plan and perform material flow, information flow and logistics operations, to visualize statistics and reports, and to automate elementary tasks.

Goals and training methods

• Participants are able to model and perform elementary material flow and logistic operations simulations,
• Participants are able to model statistics visualisation and to create reports, and
• Self-study using web based tutorials.

Content

• Introduction to the software’s graphical user interface,
• Modelling elementary material and information flow simulations,
• Modelling visualisation of statics and reports, and
• Automation of elementary task and modelling of data exchanges.
