F24: Digital Twin for Your Shop Floor: Using Simulation to Predict Production’s Future

An exclamation point iconThis event has already occurred.

*This conference session requires registration and payment.

In their attempts to improve On-Time Delivery and Throughput, most manufacturers struggle with traditional Finite Capacity Scheduling. One of the main reasons is that the generated "schedule" does not reflect the order in which production will actually be prioritized and executed out on the shop floor. The purpose of this presentation is to educate the audience on how to create a Digital Twin of their production environment, and running a simulator to predict their future production reality based upon how they will actually execute and prioritize production out on the shop floor. The resulting Digital Twin can then be used to show future load vs capacity, bottlenecks, personnel requirements, material shortages and more.
