PLANT EMULATION
Tests without real plant coupling
In order to make the tests that are due during an implementation as efficient and realistic as possible, we use graphical and three-dimensional emulation software in all our projects. This software enables tests without coupling with the real plant and instead faithfully reproduces the behavior of the control technology. For new plants, for example, software development in the SAP area as well as construction and assembly of the plant can be carried out in parallel.
Still available after project completion
Upon request, the emulation is still available to our customers for testing purposes after project completion. This allows changes to be tested on test systems under realistic conditions without disrupting live operation. The emulation software maps all automatic storage areas with all defined reporting points.
The functions of 3D emulation
ADVANTAGES FOR TESTING & DEVELOPMENT
- Integration & test of the deployed MFS interface
- Operation can be performed by non-technical personnel (e.g. QM department)
- Optimal tool for validation tests with recording functions
- Many additional functions possible, e.g. inventory data transfer from SAP for regression tests, simulation of transport technology (malfunctions, light barriers defective, pallet breakage, etc.)
- Integration of manual storage areas with personnel activities and forklift transports possible Informative capability for space requirements, etc.
- Mass testing and accelerated test execution
MAPPING OF LOGISTICAL TECHNOLOGY
- Pallet warehouse
- Small parts warehouse
- Shuttle warehouse
- Conveyor technology
- Sensors
- Manual Processes
- Manual vehicles like forklifts
- Driverless transport vehicles
- De-/palletizing robots
MAPPING OF LOGISTICAL PROCESSES
- Material flow control logic in relation to routing
- Visualization of the notification points
- Placement of pallets and totes via input box anywhere on the conveyor system
- Loading function for inventory
- Integration of contour control with function for error generation (random value, parameters)
- Graphic illustration of the storage facility and transport movement in the mentioned storage areas
