Material Flow Simulation

FactoryFLOW enables you to optimise your factory layout based on material flow distances, frequency and cost. FactoryFLOW is a graphical material handling system that enables engineers to optimise layouts based on material flow distances, frequency, and costs. Factory layouts are analysed by using part routing information, material storage needs, material handling equipment specifications, and part packaging (containerisation) information.

The competitive advantage

• Create initial layouts easily
• Improve layout productivity by determining the best location of machines and departments
• Reduce material handling needs and storage requirements
• Design workcell layouts on the process plan
• Optimise layouts based on qualitative factors such as noise, dirt and supervision needs
• Diagram material-flow intensity
• Calculate material handling costs and requirements
