Siemens Digital Industries Software Manufacturing Simulation
Manufacturing simulation is the use of computer modeling to virtually test manufacturing methods and procedures – including processes such as production, assembly, inventory, and transportation. This greatly reduces the time and costs that physical testing of a manufacturing system would incur.
Simulation software can be used to predict the performance of a planned manufacturing system and to compare solutions for any problems discovered in the system's design. This makes manufacturing simulation a significantly competitive capability - allowing manufacturers to test a range of scenarios before buying tooling, reserving capacity, or coordinating other expensive production resources. By using simulation software to determine exactly what is needed, the manufacturer can avoid problems during production while also reducing scrap and rework.
