Process Simulator Material Handling Edition
Stations
A new type of activity created to enhance material handling. The station can have capacity or capacity can be turned off; designed to be used with conveyors.
You can inset an onboard station into a conveyor.
Process Simulator Material Handling Edition
Conveyors
Conveyors control how entities flow from activity to activity. Introducing Stations in a conveyor enhances the ability to control flow from conveyor to conveyor.
- Control speed of conveyors
- Control distance of conveyors
- Control orientation of entities
- Control accumulation of entities
Process Simulator Material Handling Edition
Path networks
Resource movement can be added to enhance your model with travel, pick up, and deposit time.
Process Simulator Material Handling Edition
Nodes - decisions points of a path network
- Set limits
- Flexible connectors - allow for travel of resources to any part of your Visio file where the resource is requested.
Process Simulator Material Handling Edition
Path Network Connector - connections between nodes
Distance is automatically configured by the scale or the model, but can be manually set.
Process Simulator Material Handling Edition
Interfaces - connections from nodes to activities or stations
This is how you can control where resources go to interact with an activity/station.
Process Simulator Material Handling Edition
Resource Path network section
Choose the path network the resource can move on.
- Control starting, off-shift, and break node
- Speed
- Deposit times
- Node logic for better control of resources
Process Simulator Material Handling Edition
Entity Conveyor Size
Length and width can be assigned to an entity for flow on conveyors.
