DELMIA – Virtual Factory

Landscape.
Helps to engineer the equipment and systems for the manufacturing facility so tool designs and systems throughput
can be validated up-front, that is before the actual system and its components are built. Virtualizing the factory helps
to ensure that the designs and layout of the equipment will work harmoniously together to achieve the goals of the
factory for cost ease of operations, throughput, serviceability, and safety. It also ensures that the floor space in the
factory is fully utilized.

Benefits of Virtual Factory

1. Prove out of the component and system design.

Manufacturing components such as grippers, tool fixtures, and welders are all purpose-built components.
That is, each one is designed to perform a specific task which operates on a specific product, working within
a specific set or conditions. Every design needs to be validated by comparing the product, the process and
resource designs to be certain that each component can perform the intended task within a prescribed time
frame.

2. Prove out of the manufacturing systems throughput:

Manufacturing systems come in all kinds of speeds, sizes, and technology. Some require manpower to
operate while others can be fully autonomous. Having the capability to design and operate manufacturing
systems virtually allows the manufacturing company to visualize and optimize the production system. They
can ensure that all the equipment will work together as it was designed, and they can be certain that that
the production rate is achievable.

3. Perform what-if production scenarios:

Working with a virtual factory allows engineers to experiment and innovate. They can introduce multiple
constraints and try new designs to engineers the most optimal manufacturing system.

4. Maximize the investment in the factory equipment.

 When the simulation of the systems and the factory are complete, the manufacturing company has
confidence that the factory can be built correctly the first time. They are also certain that the required
production rate can be achieved, so when the real factory is built, minimal rework will be performed since
the systems was already engineered virtually.

Description virtual factory

The layout of footprint of the manufacturing facility can be imported, or it can be built in DELMIA Plant layout
design. A point cloud can also be imported to represent the manufacturing facility as it exists today. Using the 3D
design, users can add motion characteristics of the
CAD representation using equipment design. Some
of these motion characteristics are kinematics
(Motion), speed, acceleration, home positions.

The simulation capabilities come in 2 forms; first the

ability to mechanically simulate machines and tools
at the workcell level. This capability allows user to
utilize the motion characteristics of machines and
tools and simulate them by making them interact
with one another. The second form of simulation
comes in the factory flow simulation application.
This is where the machine cycle time are input, and each machine is connected to represent the product mapping.
The user inputs the cycle time of each machine into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to perform the process flow
simulation. This gives the user the capability to examine machine and system production rates, examine bottlenecks,
and perform what-if scenarios to enhance production.

removal process. The processes that have this common
theme are collectively called subtractive

understanding of the interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies
theoretical principles, data, and methods to design to
optimize human well-being and overall system
performance. In a 3D environment it is virtual
ergonomics. User of virtual ergonomics challenges is

DELMIA – Process engineering

Landscape
Process engineering is a way to transform engineering information into
readable information for a shop floor. It is also a way to define the list of
components and /or raw materials which need to be ordered to start the
production.

1&2, process engineering

consists in defining the
manufacturing bill of materials
(MBOM) of a new product to
make using engineering
information.

3. Then from this bill of

material, the sequence or operations needed to build the product
are defined. For each operation, we will know which component
from the MBOM is used,
which resources are
necessary to do the
operations: workstation or
workplace, machine,
worker, tooling, etc.

4. In addition each of these operations can be analyzed using process

simulation features or by the simulation tools available in our operations
engineering simulation domains like robotics, machining virtual factory or
ergonomics simulation, to anticipate and avoid potential issues.
5. Finally each of those operations can be detailed with associated work
instructions including text, alerts, sign offs, data collects, 2D or 3D views.
MBOM can be released to ERP or any other external systems for
procurement or e.g. supplier exchanges. Process plans can be released to
DELMIA solutions or any external systems for any specific usage such as
supplier exchanges, scheduling, and execution. Work instructions can be
released for execution usage at the shop floor.

Industry process experiences (IPEs).

Industry solution experiences are the solution experiences comprise of the IPE. IPE are made up of the processes
performed by roles, where roles are composed of the DELMIA operations engineering applications. Each industry
process experience supports a business process.

Resource layout, simulation & programming.

Plant layout Design. At this step of the process workflow, customers are defining their plant layout design:

 Resource structure definition. Customers detailed resource model, how many lines they have, how many
stations and works areas are in each line, etc.
 Equipment design. More than just a 3D shape of the tools, information is also needed how equipment
moves, what are its speed, reach, capacity, etc.
 Resource layout. Summarizes all knowledge we posses of the plant layout.
Plant and production validation and simulation. In this step customers are provided with simulations. Our
differentiator is that DELMIA solutions provide not only mechanical (Equipment) simulation, but we also simulate
the flow of the product throughout the plant, through each of its completion stages. Customers can simulation how
product changes, from a raw material being put on the production line, through in-process parts flow, to their final
assembly.

Resource programming. The last process workflow step is where we deliver programming for customer´s resources.
We deliver 3D printers and NC machines programming based on product design input. Equipment simulation from
the previous step provides a base for robot programming, e.g. in Robotics or Machining disciplines. We use Virtual
Commissioning feature to run virtual tests on a PLC – an industrial computer that has been adapted for the control of
manufacturing processes.

We can simulate how an entire production line composed of many elements will behave, to validate their
interactions and predict problems that many occur when all these elements start to work according to given
sequences. This functionality increases workers safety and minimizes equipment damage risks when starting a
production line that has not been tested yet.
