The unique software solution for a virtual learning environment for industrial production automation. This solution focuses on the planning of production systems, the logistics of production processes as well as production management and the layout and optimisation of Manufacturing Execution Systems.
COSIMIR® Factory SIM
3D simulation encompasses all of the main components of a production system from a flexible flow of materials right through to individual sensors and uses the extensive functionality of COSIMIR® Professional.
Layout planning
With just a few clicks of the mouse you can not only design the layout of your future production line, but at the same time create the 3D model.
The library provides numerous production, assembly, storage and measurement stations for building an iCIM production line. The stations already have their own intelligence in the form of process tasks that you can execute.
COSIMIR® Factory Control
The extremely powerful development tool for creating an MES system (Manufacturing Execution System). At the push of a button you can automatically create a powerful sample solution for an MES system for your production line. This sample solution offers the following functions:
- Production control station with graphical process monitoring
- Link to the production database
Of course you can extend and optimise this MES system at any time.
First steps towards creating production processes
Create sequential production sequences using the graphical layout display. You select a workstation and choose one of the process tasks displayed that this station can perform. You then decide on the subsequent process. This can be a transport operation or a subsequent process task. This allows you to create and execute your own production sequences even before you have learned the production plan language.
Creating a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)
An MES system must perform the following tasks:
- Communication with the planning or ERP system
- Material flow control
- Planning, creation and monitoring of the production sequences
- Implementation of communication with the automation units and resources
The automatically created MES system includes an extremely powerful material flow controller and in particular offers a sophisticated solution for the two communication interfaces. This allows you to concentrate on the planning and optimisation of the production sequences. Powerful debugging tools are provided for support.
Production management with graphical user interface
The production management system consists of a Microsoft Access database that you can access using a very user-friendly graphical interface:
- Warehouse administration
- Bills of material with work plans
- Resource administration
- Order administration
- Scheduling of orders
This allows you to manually reproduce the basic structures of a planning system. The database can also be used to integrate an external planning system or ERP system.
