Presentation of the use of Flow Simulation with FLEXSIM

FlexSim will allow you to enter industry 4.0 thanks to virtual reality.

Immersive modeling

If you own an Oculus Rift or HC Vive VR headset, then you can simply by one click in FlexSim immerse yourself in your simulation model.

But this is not a simple virtual visit, you can interact with the elements of the simulation via the joysticks and therefore modify the course of the simulation.

Industry 4.0 is already here with FlexSim!!

Need a digital twin for your manufacturing, material handling or supply chain system? FlexSim can do it!

You can use FlexSim’s cutting-edge 3D simulation technology to drive the movement of digital twins in your smart factory.

The flow simulation of a workshop

This model presents a possible approach to simulate production routings.

A range is assigned to each product entering the model.

The product then passes through each stage of its range.

The flow simulation of a sorter

In this model, packages arrive on a carousel and are sorted on one of the 6 exit conveyors according to their order reference.

If the photocell of the exit conveyor is saturated, the packages make an additional turn of the carousel.

Flow simulation of an AGV system

This model illustrates an application of the AGV simulation capabilities of FlexSim.

Crates circulate there between various modules via AGVs.

Flow simulation of a crane

This model gives an overview of the resources available in the FlexSim library for transporting products:

• AGV,
• Operator,
• Forklift,
• Lift,
• 6 axis robot,
• Bridge crane,
• Stacker crane.

Flow simulation of a clinic

This model is an example of a patient journey in a clinic:

• Registration,
• Sort by a nurse,
• examination by a doctor,
• care (ECG, X-ray or MRI)
• and finally presentation of the diagnosis to the patient before escorting to the exit.

How will we carry out your project?

Experimentation and analysis :

• Launch of scenarios by varying the parameters
• Multiplicity of runs with different random routes -> test the sensitivity of the system
• Analysis of results, particularly in relation to critical indicators defined with the client
• Possibility of adding additional results to refine the analysis.

Optimization :

• During the experimentation, improvements will be implemented (if necessary) in consultation with the customer.
• After each optimization, the runs are to be restarted to measure the impact.

Work meetings using the model to answer questions and test different configurations or rules
