PacSi for the simulation of processing and packaging systems<\/b><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

PacSi was developed specifically for the simulation and optimisation of processing and packaging systems. The software not only models individual machines, but also takes into account the interaction between machines, interlinking elements, operating personnel and other influencing factors within a production line.<\/p>\n

This enables you to investigate, even during the planning stage, how different plant concepts perform under realistic conditions. Existing plants can also be analysed to identify bottlenecks, uncover potential for improvement and compare different optimisation measures.<\/p>\n

Realistically analyse line structure and efficiency<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The performance of a processing or packaging plant does not depend solely on the performance data of the individual machines. What is crucial is the interaction of the entire line.<\/p>\n

PacSi therefore takes into account both the machines and the interlinking elements<\/b> between the individual process steps. This allows you to examine how different line structures affect throughput, utilisation and plant performance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Manual activities can also be taken into account. These include the number of operators<\/b> and manual packaging<\/b> processes. This results in a model that takes into account not only the technical structure of the plant but also the impact of manual work steps.<\/p>\n

On this basis, it is possible, for example, to compare different plant concepts and identify potential bottlenecks even before making an investment or carrying out a refurbishment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Incorporating operating staff in detail into the simulation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In packaging plants in particular, operating staff often have a direct influence on the performance of the entire line. PacSi therefore enables a detailed representation of the operator strategy<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Factors taken into account include the position of operators, travel times and the priorities of individual tasks<\/b>. A distinction can be made between regular operator tasks and the resolution of faults.<\/p>\n

This allows different staffing concepts to be examined within the simulation model. For example, it is possible to analyse whether the current number of operators is sufficient, how longer walking distances affect operations, or what consequences different priorities have when tasks occur simultaneously.<\/p>\n

In this way, PacSi supports not only technical plant planning but also the assessment of the required staffing levels.<\/p>\n

Optimising production and plant operation<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With PacSi, different variants and planning scenarios can first be examined in the simulation model. This allows changes to be evaluated before they are implemented on the actual plant.<\/p>\n

The factors taken into account include, amongst others:<\/p>\n
