Plant simulation software

Product Lifecycle Management Australasia has announced the availability of Plant Simulation, a software solution from Siemens PLM, that allows users to optimise throughput, relieve bottlenecks and minimise work-in-process in factories, warehouses and logistical operations. 

Plant Simulation enables users to create well-structured, hierarchical models of production facilities, lines and processes, as well as logistical operations and storage and warehousing operations. This is achieved through powerful object-oriented architecture and modelling capabilities that enable users to create and maintain highly complex systems, including advanced control mechanisms. The simulation models take into consideration internal and external supply chains, production resources and business processes, allowing users to analyse the impact of different production variations.

Complex system behaviour can be analysed and optimised in a systematic manner. Plant Simulation easily realises ROI in less than six months and cost savings of more than 30% in the first project, and is suited to many types of industries, including consumer packaged goods, food processing, logistics and supply chain, mining, automotive and automotive suppliers.
