The dynamic simulation model reflects the flow of products through the process chain while incorporating space and time. Within the simulation, the specific state of individual products and operators in the entire process chain is always known. The dynamically generated data during the simulation reveals the efficiency of the individual nodes of the system.
Workspace
The simulation model reflects the actual placement and distances of the system elements. It usually consists of a plan drawing of the space augmented with the location of technology, materials, personnel and other resources.
Data inputs
The flow of products through the model is driven by real data or qualified estimates. Operational times, tasks, transport and processing methods correspond to real-world realities.
Simplified visuals
Simplified technology visuals are used to speed up the creation of simulations. All processes are visually obvious. The functions and properties of the overall system are always preserved.
Relative time
Processes can be simulated in a specific time, both accelerated and decelerated. System behaviour and efficiency can be simulated over long time horizons as well as short externalities.
By linking space, data and the time function in the process flow model, the so-called Digital Twin of the real system is created. The digital model allows running any test and a comprehensive view of the consistency associated with individual inputs and processes.
