Material Flow Simulation at an Unparalleled Level of Detail
INOSIM Plant Edition enables you to keep track of your complex and dynamic production and its logistics. INOSIM Plant Edition supports you in creating a failure-free material flow for your production. During process design as well as in later operational phases, you evaluate how to organize your logistical processes in a cost-saving, efficient, and failure-free way.
Evaluate the impact of planned and unplanned downtimes (maintenance and failures) on your production performance. With INOSIM Plant Edition, you may:
If you wish to extend your models, INOSIM provides you with a user-friendly, flexible programming environment: Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). It enables you to adjust and extend the behavior of the simulation dynamically.
Detailed user documentation, quick support, and tailor-made training by experienced engineers will make it easy for you to benefit from INOSIM VBA programming.
Running complex models creates a large amount of data. With INOSIM, you may easily export these data into structured Excel reports covering unit allocations, filling levels, mass balances, costing, and more. However, nothing beats an intuitive graphical representation: the INOSIM Gantt.
It displays the allocation of production equipment as colored bars and visualizes resource allocation and filling levels as curves. The properties window displays all relevant information and can be completed with user-defined data. You may also display unit failures, maintenance, shift pauses, and material compositions.
Depending on the complexity of your model, there can be hundreds or even thousands of elements to display. Set up user-defined views, and easily arrange the elements by drag-and-drop to display only a single production line or just the tanks, for example.
Get an overview by displaying the whole simulation period or zoom in freely to examine the results in higher detail. Select from a variety of pre-defined measures to color and label the bars or introduce your own. Open Gantt charts for several experiments and display them side-by-side for easy comparison (high-resolution display recommended).
Want to customize your Gantt further? Use INOSIM’s VBA interface to display any data as CustomBars or CustomCurves. You may also set the displayed time horizon or overwrite the default colors.
