Maximizing your Plant Productivity during Challenging Times

In the light of the current COVID-19 crisis, the manufacturing operations particularly production and planning processes are stressed. The dependency on the affected supply chain and the strain on planning is challenging the business continuity. Production planning is all making the best decision to meet demand keeping in consideration the available material, capacity and resources. Current challenges faced by organizations include:

  • Production capacity is now challenged by workforce absences and throughput is impacted by social distancing norms.
  • Balancing workforce capacity with costs and the impact on the ability to rebound later in case of downsizing for furloughing.
  • Unclear visibility owing to overload of demand or supply/ production problems
  • Volatile customer demand

Different industries are impacted by the volatility in different ways. Pharma and medical device manufacturers are witnessing high demand while aerospace and automotive industry are having subdued demand. In both these scenarios, manufacturing need to optimize production and plan for recovery.

Majority of the organizations are unable to visualize the impact and plan for recovery using the manual methods of assessment and planning. The static tools don’t provide effective decision support.

With DELMIA Virtual Factory, organizations can leverage the rapid decision support capability in an integrated and automated environment: with unmatched ability to

  • Collaborative Digital Platform enabled by DELMIA Virtual Factory
  • Creation and simulation of 3D digital twin of your factory
  • Define Plant Layout
  • Define and Simulate “What if” Scenarios

Plant Layout Designer cloud

Define Plant Layouts

  • Use pre-defined resource types to categorize and organize resources
  • Import and extract 2D drawings enabling resources to be snapped into defined positions
  • Select and edit ready-to-use parametric resources from a catalog
  • Choose ready-to-use non-parametric resources from a catalog
  • Position a resource easily and accurately in the immersive 3D environment

Industrial Engineer

Define and Simulate Resources and Material Flow

  • Provides AGV simulation for warehouse logistics or supplying products on a final assembly line
  • Helps to optimize logistics performance by increasing productivity and reducing operating costs
  • Offers tighter integration with Process Planning
  • Enables modeling and simulation at multiple levels of detail
  • Provides rapid equipment feasibility and performance studies
  • Offers intuitive UI to define the material flow facilitating adoption by the users
  • Enables early recognition and elimination of bottlenecks

Factory Simulation Engineer

Factory Simulation Engineer provides a Process Engineer an easy to-use environment to study the dynamical behavior

  • Study the dynamical behavior of scenarios and save money thanks to make the right decisions
  • Validate your 3D layout and Manufacturing Process for new Product introduction by performing what if scenarios and monitoring KPIs
  • Early detection of trouble spots/bottle necks to optimize system performance & production rate with alternate routings

Watch this webinar to:

  • Simulate the impact of activity recovery –maximising the utilization of available resource
  • React optimally to unplanned events such as lack of staff or supply shortage
  • Plan increasing line capacity as demand starts to pick up
  • Discover how to create digital twin of your plant and processes

Being able to leverage these capabilities provides significant benefit in terms of both revenue (improving agility to meet customer service levels and due dates) and costs (reducing inventory and production costs). More importantly it provides manufacturers with a business continuity plan that benefits the workforce and the recipients of potentially essential products.
