SIMUL8 è un prodotto SIMUL8 Corporation.
SIMUL8 è uno strumento per la modellazione, simulazione, analisi e ottimizzazione delle performance dei sistemi di produzione, utilizzato sia in fase di progettazione iniziale del sistema che per la sua riconfigurazione e per la pianificazione della produzione.
SIMUL8 supporta le decisioni fornendo informazioni critiche, quali ad esempio:
SIMUL8 supporta una vasta gamma di scale di complessità per la modellazione del sistema: è possibile creare rapidamente modelli preliminari utilizzando informazioni limitate, ad esempio da un layout 2D dell’impianto e sequenza di processo, per poi dettagliare progressivamente la simulazione secondo il bisogno.
Gli elementi disponibili nella libreria consentono di creare rappresentazioni accurate di architetture di produzione complesse, come linee di produzione, job shop, celle robotizzate, sistemi di assemblaggio, logistica e flussi di prodotto complessi.
I modelli di simulazione possono essere adattati al tipo di sistema di produzione (eventi discreti, agent-based, simulazione continua ed ibrida). Possono inoltre essere facilmente collegati ad algoritmi di ottimizzazione considerando gli obiettivi (es. produttività, qualità, costo), ed i vincoli (capacità ed affidabilità delle macchine, turni e disponibilità delle risorse, ed in generale i fattori che impattano la performance complessiva e l’efficienza dei sistemi di produzione).
SIMUL8 consente di valutare l’effetto di specifiche politiche di schedulazione, gestione degli operatori, dei lotti e del flusso di produzione, politiche di manutenzione, impatto degli interventi di modifica del sistema (modifiche del layout, sostituzione di macchinari, etc.), effetto del lancio di nuove varianti di prodotto, e di identificare le migliori soluzioni di tradeoff tenendo conto di obiettivi contrastanti (es. costo vs. produttività).
Le simulazioni sono visuali ed animate, permettendo di verificare facilmente che cosa sta succedendo al progredire del tempo di processo. Da ultimo SIMUL8 consente di costruire, eseguire, visualizzare e condividere le simulazioni via web, utilizzando i medesimi formati ed interfaccia utente dell’applicativo desktop.
