Enhance your Manufacturing curricula with Layout and Flow Simulation

The importance of teaching Layout and Flow Simulation in the age of Industry 4.0

The global digital manufacturing market is experiencing rapid growth. According to a recent research, the worldwide digital manufacturing market is estimated to grow from around $450 billion in 2023 to $1,670 billion by 2031*.

Factory digital twins are unlocking value in all kinds of industries and use cases. Insights from the twin can be applied to different types of decision time scenarios, from slower decisions, such as line balancing and prioritization of continuous improvement opportunities, to real-time decisions, like optimizing production schedules. DELMIA Virtual Factory provides a comprehensive solution for creating and managing digital twins, enabling manufacturers to simulate, analyze, and optimize their production environments effectively.

Teach Layout and Flow Simulation Industry's best practices

Duration 1 minute 22

Do your students possess the necessary skills demanded in the Industry?

Since Layout and Flow Simulation is an interdisciplinary field that relies on multiple areas of study, including computer science, mechanical engineering, and industrial engineering, manufacturers encounter a significant "skills gap", a disparity between the skills available in the workforce and those required by the labor market.

Let us help you align your students’ skills with the ever-evolving needs of the industry!

Empower your students with the emerging Layout and Flow simulation skills

Our Layout and Flow Simulation Learning Module, part of the Virtual Factory Education Experience, will focus on key best-in-class skills that are required by the Industry

Build a factory cell by inserting, positioning and snapping resources on a 2D layout.

Define kinematic joints, travel limits and manage joints speed and acceleration.

Define activities on resources and assign parts and workers (manikins) to product flows.

Simulate factory flows, identify bottlenecks and manage resource utilization.

Create what-if scenario by defining shifts, workers breaks & by regulating the production rate.

Generate and analyze simulation reports and throughput to validate what-if scenario.

Train your students in industry-relevant skills by building and simulating a virtual factory!
