How can manufacturing simulation drive operational excellence?

Electronics assembly manufacturing can be delivered at competitive market prices only as long as the manufacturing process is continuously improved. With the help of Industry 4.0 and simulation tools, manufacturing companies are mastering a high degree of variance, continuously shrinking batch sizes and fluctuations in order volume that are increasingly difficult to predict. Manufacturing simulation is key to organizations improving. This paper describes the design and implementation of several manufacturing simulation use cases at an electronics assembly factory and describes how other factories can use simulation to optimize throughput and cost to make steps forward in their digitalization journey.

The power of manufacturing simulation at Siemens Numerical Controls Ltd

This white paper provides an in-depth exploration of manufacturing simulation, particularly its implementation at Siemens Numerical Controls Ltd. in Nanjing, China. By inputting scenarios into simulation software and meticulously analyzing outputs, the team identified a specific strategy as optimal for enhancing both throughput and utilization.

Through validation experiments conducted in real production environments, the simulation's accuracy was confirmed, leading to significant improvements in throughput and the development of a versatile simulation model.
