1. Plant Simulation Ariel Dayan, Binyamin Steinberg

2. WHAT IS TECNOMATIX  CAPE (Computer Aided Production Engineering)  MPM (Manufacturing Process Management)  PLM (Product Lifecycle Management)

3. HISTORY OF TECNOMATIX 1980’S Tecnomatix created as division of Oshap 1983 Broke away from Oshap 1999 Acquired Unicam Software Inc. 2003 Acquired USDATA corporation 2004 Employed 700 employees in 21 countries 2005 Acquired by UGS Corporation (PLM) 2007 UGS purchased by Siemens

4. What is MPM  Manage product, process, resource, plant layout knowledge  Evaluate alternatives  Decreased time-to-market (TTM)

5. PLANT SIMULATION

6. PLANT SIMULATION FEATURES  Locate stations- Manual and Robotic  Series and Parallel manufacturing lines  Spatial Coordination

7. PLANT SIMULATION FEATURES  Tool location  Ergonomic set up for workers

8. PLANT SIMULATION FEATURES  Material Flow simulation Storage of parts and assemblies

9. PLANT SIMULATION BENEFITS  Right-first-time manufacturing plans  Lean manufacturing  Virtual validation of processes  Resolve late-stage changes earlier  Reduce system start-up time  Evaluate variations

10. HOW TECNOMATIX SOFTWARE MAKES A DIFFERENCE  Increased speed to market  Improve Productivity  Maximize Production Strategy  Reduce Costs

11. KEY WORDS  CAPE (computer aided production engineering)  MPM (manufacturing process management)  PLM (product lifecycle management)  Lean Manufacturing  Right-first-time  TTM (time to market)
