Tecnomatix Plant Design and Optimization
Make Smarter Decisions and Create Optimized Factories Faster
View Demo
Producing and selling more products does not lead to more profit if you cannot extract maximum production efficiency from your manufacturing operations. Building products with inefficient manufacturing operations means that you spend more time and money compensating for those inefficiencies.
The Tecnomatix Plant Design and Optimization solution gives you 3D parametric-based smart objects to layout efficient factories faster. Utilizing 3D for factory layout also increases your ability to find design flaws during the planning process and not during implementation on the factory floor. Material flow, handling, logistics and indirect labor can all be optimized using material flow analysis and event-driven simulation. These resource optimization techniques analyze elements such as part routing information and equipment capabilities against your factory layout. Even material storage needs and part packaging information can be used. You can also manage your factory layout environment with standardized resources in a shared data environment on a product lifecycle management platform. Collectively, these capabilities promote increased planning accuracy and efficiency, helping you to minimize capital investments and maximize production efficiency.
