Key takeaways
Client: A large electronics manufacturer; Field: Simulation. Layout simulation and capacity modeling brought the new plant online 42 days early with 21% higher output per square meter.
Background
The new plant had to fit SMT, assembly, testing and packing into limited floor area. Layouts kept changing and capacity was impossible to estimate.
Solution
- Modeled the plant and equipment in 3D and compared three layouts through logistics simulation
- Used discrete-event simulation to expose capacity bottlenecks and WIP build-up
- Validated AGV routing against cycle-time requirements
- Delivered a digital twin dashboard aligned with live production data after launch
Results
42 daysEarlier commissioning
21%Output per sqm
3Layouts simulated
15%Shorter logistics path
