INNOVATIVE FLEXIBILITY: SUPERIOR “ALL-ROUNDERS”

Requirements change and solutions have to accommodate them  flexibly: in the shortest possible time, with the least possible cost, and with the aim of avoiding production downtime.

Production solutions by PROFACTOR thus program themselves in just a couple of seconds; adaptation for
new products is possible on the fly. All tasks are performed, decisions taken and planning effected autonomously. This allows for ongoing optimisation of part provision and logistics.

And talking of logistics: transport networks can also be optimised in a holistic way with respect to load or scheduling. The algorithms developed for this purpose are modified to reflect the customer’s special requirements on the one hand, while taking specific production scenarios and workflows into consideration.

This results in best-of-breed efficiency. Simulationaided factory and logistics planning is an important tool that helps decision makers to ascertain complex relationships (for example in material  flow systems) and to identify contributing parameters: the complete system is modelled and optimised. Simulation of various operating states helps to identify critical states at an early stage. This means that appropriate remedial measures can be taken. The results: bestof-breed operative safety and economy accompanied by substantial reductions in commissioning and tooling times.
