MODELLING AND SIMULATION IN THE TECNOMATIX PLANT SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT

Simulation technologies are nowadays an integral tool for planning, implementation and operation of technical systems. Simulation is used where more straightforward methods no longer provide useful results. The simulation aims to arrive at objective decisions using dynamic analysis. This allows managers to plan specific processes at optimal cost. If real-world verification is too expensive and restrictive to perform experiments and time consuming, then modelling and a simulation is an excellent tool for analysing and optimising dynamic processes. The article deals with the importance of modelling and simulation in industrial practice, which is demonstrated in the text's case studies.

DESIGN OF SYSTEM FOR MORE EFFECTIVE DATA ACTUALISATION IN SIMULATION

The main object of the article is a design system for faster data actualisation in Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software through the AttributeExplorer function and Microsoft Excel. Many companies that use simulation as the optimisation tool is meet the problem of the models up to date and actualisation time demands. The designed system that uses the AttributeExplorer function of the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation reduces the actualisation time demands for activities. The end part of the article contains a comparison of the normal manual data entry and time demands for using the designed system.

USE OF COMPUTER SIMULATION FOR OPTIMIZATION OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS

This article provides information on using computer simulation to optimise energy consumption in manufacturing. Simulation of energy consumption in operation is always performed to analyse large amounts of data. Results of computer simulation offer the possibility to analyse different scenarios of production or use of machines. Each of the variants brings different scenarios to optimise energy use in order to reduce costs and improve the operation. The article also describes the sequence of steps that a user can take to create a quality simulation model. At the same time, there are graphical examples of energy consumption measurements made during simulation runs.

ASSEMBLY LINE DESIGN THROUGH SOFTWARE TECNOMATIX MODULE PROCESS DESIGNER

The present article is devoted to designing the analysed workstation model using Process Designer, where individual outputs can help identify potential shortcomings. Process Designer is a widely used module. It is possible to statically design a workplace layout and analyse future production by creating a simulation of individual manufacturing activities. Subsequently, it contains suggestions to eliminate these deficiencies, which were found using the software as mentioned above.

VERIFICATION OF PROPOSALS FOR INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS USING MANAGEMENT METHODS USING SIMULATION SYSTEM TECNOMATIX

The contribution is focused on the production line, which covers assembly in assemblies in the automotive industry. This process consists of several assembly stations. The paper contains a brief description of production positions. The production process was analysed, and a snapshot of work activities was created. We created a simulation using the Tecnomatix Plant Simulation software tool. To increase efficiency, we also use the Hoshin method, which is commonly used in industrial enterprises. Hoshin Kanri is used as a system management tool to develop an annual tactic to implement in all departments and functions within the company. It is for organisations looking for ways to create an effective plan for the future. It is a composition of tools and principles that we can say are helpful in a set of change management and planning systems.
