Optimizing Production with Tecnomatix Plant Simulation
Modern manufacturing requires flexibility, precision, and a constant search for improvement points. That is why, as part of the digital twin project, we used Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, a powerful platform for simulating production processes.
With its help, we developed a digital model of the production line, which allowed us to test and optimize processes before launching in reality.
What we did:
- Modeled current production areas, including the flow of materials, workers, equipment, and warehouses.
- Implemented the logic of process operations, including execution time, resource loading, and prioritization rules.
- Conducted a throughput analysis and identified bottlenecks in the production chain.
- Run a series of “what-if” scenarios to predict the behavior of the system when parameters change (for example, when demand increases or logistics fails).
- Assessed the effect of changes in real time: reduced cycle time, reduced downtime, uniform equipment loading.
Using Tecnomatix allowed us to:
- Increase the accuracy of production planning and scheduling;
- Significantly reduce costs associated with excess inventory and inefficient loading;
- Make management decisions based on simulation data rather than assumptions;
- Prepare the basis for integration into the digital twin system.
Tecnomatix Plant Simulation has become more than just a modeling tool for us, but a key component of our production optimization and digitalization strategy.
