Abstract

Discrete event simulations are one of the most used techniques by manufacturing system designers. In order to extend the traditional material flow with an advanced energy simulation, this paper presents two specially developed extension modules for the widely used software Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. In contrast to other approaches, the FAPS energy module is not only based on fixed values, but on measured load profiles. Furthermore, the FAPS temperature module for tracking the products’ temperature through the whole process chain is introduced. The latter module is particularly suited for identifying savings potential in energy-intensive thermal processes.
