Simulation capabilities for optimizing AMR/AGV fleet size, layout and material flow

How can you make informed investment decisions, reduce risks and speed up commissioning?

With SIMOVE Fleetmanager and Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, you plan, validate, and optimize your fleet before implementation. Thanks to holistic plant modeling based on Tecnomatix Plant Simulation, your planning is accurate and system-independent. You can validate performance based on simulated cycle times, fleet sizes and layout impacts. Reuse the simulation for testing setups, parameters and traffic algorithms to optimize the control system.

Scalable and modular automation based on standard components

Using the SIMOVE architecture and our TIA portfolio, you benefit from scalable and future-proof systems, efficient engineering and operations, as well as enhanced compliance and global acceptance. Standardized hardware with integrated safety and diagnostics enables easier maintenance. The TIA Portal makes unified engineering possible. And you can deploy faster thanks to modular designs and predefined architectures, which ensure compliance and scalability.

dpm Daum + Partner Maschinenbau GmbH and Siemens Cham, Germany

Another step forward from automation towards autonomy

The objective was to develop a new AMR solution, called MINICART, that can be deployed across a variety of manufacturing use cases. Siemens supported dpm during the design and commissioning phases, including the vehicle safety system and CE certification. The result: a fully standardized solution based on proven SIMOVE components and 120 autonomously generated transport orders per shift at the Siemens site in Cham.
