Digital Twin” simulation of logistic flows AGVs
Challenges and Solutions
Challenge
- Customized development and implementation of a digital twin for the optimization of logistic flows.
- Virtualize and simulate the process to determine the logistical impact of incorporating new AGVs using historical data from the MES.
- Assess and test the effectiveness of new investments by reducing the risk of failure and without jeopardizing production.
Solution
- Acquisition, capture of historical and real-time data from sensors, AGVs, people and routes from the MES/SCADA Legato system.
- Data processing and treatment.
- Creation of the virtual copy of the process.
- Results and reporting based on different scenarios.
Results
Thanks to the digital twin and AGV simulation project implemented by Geprom, the following benefits have been achieved:
- 10% increase in OEE.
- Obtaining a heat map of the most sensitive areas having logistical effects.
- Optimization of the number of AGVs for each route.
- Validation of the results and execution of the investment (+100 AGVs).
