Preface
Based on the competition of international production networks, the pressure to in-
crease the efficiency of production systems has increased significantly. In addi-
tion, the number of technical components in many products and as a consequence
also the requirements for corresponding assembly processes and logistics proc-
esses increases. International logistics networks require corresponding logistics
concepts.
These requirements can be managed only by using appropriate Digital Factory
tools in the context of a product lifecycle management environment, which allows
reusing data, supports an effective cooperation between different departments, and
provides up-to-date and relevant data to every user who needs it.
Simulating the complete material flow including all relevant production, stor-
age, and transport activities is recognized as a key component of the Digital Fac-
tory in the industry and as of today widely used and accepted. Cutting inventory
and throughput time by 20–60% and enhancing the productivity of existing pro-
duction facilities by 15–20% can be achieved in real-life projects.
The purpose of running simulations varies from strategic to tactical up to opera-
tional goals. From a strategic point of view, users answer questions like which fac-
tory in which country suits best to produce the next generation product taking into
account factors like consequences for logistics, worker efficiency, downtimes, flexi-
bility, storage costs, etc., looking at production strategies for the next years. In this
context, users also evaluate the flexibility of the production system, e.g., for signifi-
cant changes of production numbers –– a topic which becomes more and more im-
portant. On a tactical level, simulation is executed for a time frame of 1–3 months in
average to analyze required resources, optimize the sequence of orders, and lot sizes.
For simulation on an operational level, data are imported about the current status of
production equipment and the status of work in progress to execute a forward simu-
lation till the end of the current shift. In this case, the purpose is to check if the target
output for the shift will be reached and to evaluate emergency strategies in case of
disruptions or capacities being not available unexpectedly.
In any case, users run simulation to take a decision about a new production sys-
tem or evaluate an existing production system. Usually, the value of those systems
is a significant factor for the company, so the users have to be sure that they take
the right decision based on accurate numbers. There are several random processes
in real production systems like technical availabilities, arrival times of assembly
parts, process times of human activities, etc., so stochastic processes play an im-
portant role for throughput simulation. Therefore, Plant Simulation provides a
whole range of easy-to-use tools to analyze models with stochastic processes, to

calculate distributions for sample values, to manage simulation experiments, and
to determine optimized system parameters.
Besides that, results of a simulation model depend on the quality of the input
data and the accuracy of the model compared to the behavior of the real produc-
tion system. As soon as assembly processes are involved, several transport sys-
tems with their transport controls, workers with multiple qualification profiles or
storage logic, production processes become highly complex. Plant Simulation pro-
vides all necessary functionality to model, analyze, and maintain large and com-
plex systems in an efficient way. Key features like object orientation and inheri-
tance allow users to develop, exchange/reuse, and maintain their own objects and
libraries to increase modeling efficiency. The unique Plant Simulation optimiza-
tion capabilities support users to optimize multiple system parameters at once like
the number of transporters, monorail carriers, buffer/storage capacities, etc., taking
into account multiple evaluation criteria like reduced stock, increased utilization,
increased throughput, etc.
Based on these accurate modeling capabilities and statistic analysis capabilities,
typically an accuracy of at least 99% of the throughput values is achieved with Plant
Simulation models in real-life projects depending on the level of detail. Based on the
price of production equipment, a return on investment of the costs to introduce simu-
lation is quite often already achieved after the first simulation project.
Visualizing the complete model in the Plant Simulation 3D environment allows
an impressive 3D presentation of the system behavior. Logfiles can be used to
visualize the simulation in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment. The support of a
Siemens PLM Software unified 3D graphics engine and unified graphics format
allows a common look-and-feel and easy access to 3D graphics which were cre-
ated in other tools like digital product design or 3D factory layout design tools.
The modeling of complex logic always requires the usage of a programming
language. Plant Simulation simplifies the need to work with programming lan-
guage tremendously by supporting the user with templates, with an extensive ex-
amples collection and a professional debugging environment.
Compared to other simulation tools in the market, Plant Simulation supports a
very flexible way of working with the model, e.g., by changing system parameters
while the simulation is running.
This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to Plant Simulation. It
supports new users of the software to get started quickly, provides an excellent in-
troduction how to work with the embedded programming language SimTalk, and
even helps advanced users with examples of typical modeling tasks. The book fo-
cuses on the basic knowledge required to execute simulation projects with Plant
Simulation, which is an excellent starting point for real-life projects.
We wish you a lot of success with Tecnomatix Plant Simulation.
