Automation Technologies Industries(ATI), a leader in factory automation,
takes advantage of Simcad to demonstrate solution feasibility of a new
conveyor line implementation for a major automotive manufacturer. The
total value of this project will exceed $1.8 Million - we now have the
contract and purchase order. CHALLENGE:
A major client needed to simulate the manufacturing and testing
process of complex CD/radio systems for the automotive industry. Our system was to transport units from the import module to each test module. These items traveled on pallets and were picked and placed by Yamaha Robotics. This process
was simulated with the objective of producing a tested CD/radio every 16
seconds. The simulation would show the quantity of pallets required to populate
the total system and potential bottlenecks in transfer areas.
SOLUTION:
Simcad Pro Simulation software provided a model containing nodes for each piece of equipment and transfer
device. Defining our in-house icons to actually show the CD/radio traveling along
the transport system and overlaying our in-house background provided the customer
with the feeling that we were actually in their plant with a bird's eye
view of their system.
RESULTS:
Using Simcad Pro, we were able to reveal exactly how bottlenecks resolved, and
demonstrate how our implementation would provide the proper throughput
required by our client. The total value of this project will exceed $1.8
Million - we now have the contract and purchase order.
