Material Handling Simulation

Well-designed material handling automation enables logistics systems to operate with high efficiency and low cost.

When deciding to invest in smart automation technologies, you'll encounter many options. Each will have different advantages and disadvantages, and each will have a different return on investment. Therefore, you need to ensure that the technology you invest in addresses both today's and tomorrow's questions. Simulation helps you choose the right automation concept.

Tailored Solutions to Your Needs

When you want to invest in smart automation systems in your factory or warehouse, you'll discover a wide range of equipment options, each with different advantages and constraints. When conflicting experiences and ideas from project stakeholders like your engineers, equipment manufacturers, and system integrators are added to this complexity, deciding on the "best solution" becomes very difficult. With specialized Emulate3D software for simulating material handling systems, you can try out all possible scenarios. When various automation technologies complicate your decision-making process, simulation models will show how each alternative scenario affects system performance. Through simulation analyses, you can decide on a design that meets your needs at the highest level.

Analytical Design Approach

Emulate3D, represented by Dijitalis in Turkey, produces the most advanced 3D design, simulation, off-line programming, and PLC emulation software in the industry. Planning is done at both macro and micro levels. The simulation model used in the design includes factors such as equipment speeds, cycle times, setup times, breakdown and downtime statistics, shift and maintenance schedules, and variability in manual tasks. During planning, ergonomics and method improvements that can support your existing processes are tried, and smart and innovative automation ideas are tested and included in the design. With the simulations you will perform in this context;

• You'll optimize space and height in your warehouse,
• You'll minimize investment and operating costs,
• You'll simplify system operation and maintenance activities,
• You'll prioritize job safety and employee health,
• You'll reduce energy consumption and be environmentally friendly,

You'll design a material handling system.

No Trial and Error, Commissioning Error-Free the First Time

During the commissioning process, many unexpected problems can arise. When it's time for commissioning, mechanical manufacturing and installation related to the design are completed. The design idea of the project, hardware, and software components meet for the first time. Since the dynamic behavior of an automation system cannot be tested before the system is installed, problems at this stage can be time-consuming and costly. Our Emulate3D virtual commissioning software allows all controls and tests to be performed during the design phase. The designed automation system can be simulated under dynamic conditions and operational loads before mechanical manufacturing even begins. By connecting the virtual model with PLC, validation of automation algorithms and operating rules is performed. Sensor, servo motor, and code changes to fix synchronization issues can be made at this stage without any additional cost.
