Simulation Processes in Companies Using PLM and Tecnomatix Plant Simulation Software

Abstract

This paper aims to demonstrate the use of simulations in the process of improving production processes. With the help of simulations, it is possible to test the efficiency of production in the virtual world, various variants of simulations. The advantage of simulations is the fact that it is possible to make simple and especially cost-effective changes to the production process and thus make it more efficient to the required level. 3D modeling of production halls is already an integral part of improvement. At the same time, this article points out that PLM positively affects the improvement process itself. The final simulation is aimed at improving the production process.

Development and Verification of a Simulation Model of an Automated Assembly Line

“…Tecnomatix Plant Simulation is a discrete event simulation program [17]. With its help, it is possible to create a digital twin for the real process [18,19]. Simulation software from Siemens is used to simulate production processes and systems as well as logistics systems.…”
