Fab Planning & Simulation

We are specialized in the planning, process and material flow simulations and implementation of fully automated production processes, including complete fab planning for a wide range of industries. Our many years of experience show that efficient production is always based on a holistic perspective. With our comprehensive approach, we support our customers from the initial idea to the final implementation and beyond.

From Fab Planning to Production

Our range of services covers all phases of the implementation of automation projects: from fab planning and the simulation of processes and material flows to the integration of new elements into existing production processes. 

With our holistic solution, manufacturing companies can analyze, optimize and automate existing production lines as well as build new production capacities. Our portfolio can be used across all industries and is suitable for manufacturing processes with just a few individual steps as well as for complex, fully automated and turnkey production lines (turnkey solutions) – including the requirements of production under clean room conditions.

Fab Planning Simulation

Dynamic Simulation

We support the planning of production lines and factories dynamically throughout the entire course of the project. To do this, we rely on Siemens Plant Simulation software, which is widely used in mechanical engineering, and Digital Twin technology.

Even before a production line is commissioned, various scenarios and countless years of production can be simulated. This makes it possible to identify potential for improvement at a very early stage, which then flows directly into the targeted optimization of planning.

Benefits of Our Solution:

Transparency about planning status

  • Forecasting the output of an interlinked line
  • Determination of production KPIs such as OEE, system statuses or buffer fill levels
  • Identification of bottlenecks
  • Presentation of sensitivities of individual parameters on the output

Checking optimization approaches

  • Identification of levers for increasing output
  • Evaluation of different layout variants
  • Determination of the optimum number of load carriers
  • Reduction of stocks and throughput time

Production control

  • Development and validation of control concepts
  • Checking operating concepts, maintenance plans and product changes

 Step by Step:

  1. Factory planning as well as process and material flow simulations: We offer these as independent consulting services, which do not necessarily have to be linked to the implementation of an automation project by Manz.
  2. Development of operating modes and maintenance concepts for automated production: We optimize cycle times and material flows, taking into account various buffer scenarios, and integrate effective quality control and product tracking systems to ensure the highest standards.
  3. Development of efficient production logic: By taking a holistic view, we identify potentially critical production steps and ensure stable production through redundancies and risk-minimizing measures.
  4. Definition of optimal solutions for individual process steps: We ensure a high degree of flexibility so that manufacturing companies can easily integrate machines from a wide range of suppliers into their production processes.
  5. Planning automation and process technology: We create resilient and efficient production through intelligent networking and seamless automation of process systems.
  6. Realization of automation and process projects: On request, we implement turnkey projects and support you beyond the ramp-up, taking future expansion options into account.

 

Your Benefits:

Our solutions for comprehensive fab planning and the use of simulations can increase the efficiency of your production and contribute to the long-term success of your company. Further advantages:

  • Cost reduction: Optimized use of resources and a smoother material flow can reduce operating costs and increase the sustainability of production.
  • Risk minimization: Risks and stumbling blocks can be identified and minimized at an early stage.
  • Process optimization: A production line and the processes it contains can be designed in such a way that they are optimally interlinked, and production runs as efficiently and profitably as possible.
  • Ensuring competitiveness: Future adjustments and expansions can also be considered with comprehensive planning. Simulations can be used to test and optimize these adjustments virtually in advance.
