ROBOTIZE is now offering customisable robotics simulation systems to help weed out possible problems in the produc tion line at concept stage.
The Flexsim system is said to cost around 1% of the project value, and provides a fully-cus tomised simulation that tests-out the concept solution and identi fies any problem areas, resulting in reduced risk and overall cost for both the equipment supplier and the customer.
The simulation system works by identifying a range of bottle necks and limitations in a process, and tests a system’s abil ity to cope with different situa tions. Users can test out a range of scenarios such as: what hap pens when an operator is late in removing a finished pallet; how long it takes to clear a backlog of production if a robot stops for a few minutes; what impact dif ferent pallet handling solutions have on the solution; and how much time a forklift operator needs to dedicate to the system.
The Flexsim generates all of the graphs and statistics needed, including a realistic 3D represen tation of a system — which is great for bringing a solution to life, engaging stakeholders and being able to better see where improvements can be made.
Users will be able to see a sim ulation of the boxes and pallets travelling along the conveyors, forklifts coming and going and everything responding to the variables built into the system.
