[Part 1/9] Introduction - Plant Simulation Warehousing & Logistics Library

The Warehousing and Logistics Library allows you to rapidly create realistic simulation models of dynamic warehousing and logistics operations. The extensive library enables you to evaluate the characteristics and performance of design alternatives long before they are implemented in real-life processes. The library is an extension of best-in-class Plant Simulation software by Siemens PLM Software.

Application areas:

- Conceptual warehouse design
- Detailed warehouse design
- Optimizing existing operations
- Redesigning operations

Features:

- Simulation of dedicated sites, multi-sites, supply-chains and Value Added Logistics.
- Simulation of complex, dynamic warehouse operations and control strategies.
- Object-oriented, hierarchical models: fully scalable and customizable.
- Complete library with all relevant warehouse objects.
- Handling equipment, including pallet trucks, reach trucks, AGVs etc.
- Storage equipment, like pallet racks, flow racks, push-back racks etc.
- Worker characteristics, including skills, efficiency and learning curve.
- Layout design: create and change layouts with a few mouse clicks.
- Order generator: use historical data or statistics to simulate dynamic order patterns.
- Trucks generator: simulate inbound and outbound trucks of different suppliers according to schedules or dynamic patterns.
- Performance dashboard with graphs and charts of key performance indicators.
- ExperimentManager for automatically running and evaluating numerous alternatives.
- 3D real-time visualization and animation.
- Open system architecture (Oracle SQL, ODBC, XML, Socket, etc.).
