If the interplay between the different facilities with the warehouse management software has not been tested under real facility conditions and at full utilization load, the problems usual appear only after the operational start or at the beginning of the operational use by the customer. Performance fall-off through to facilities standstills are then the consequences. For the customer, this means drastic reductions of the delivering quality with all the consequences resulting from this. Such scenarios can only be avoided when the system behavior has been tested with the help of simulations prior to the operational use of the systems. With inconsoSIM, a tool is available for modelling the future warehouse operations and warehouse controlling using the near-real process conditions. For this purpose, the planned systems are modelled in inconsoSIM. In this virtual testing environment, the interfaces and the performance testing can be completed without have the actual physical compents of the complete system being available. Directly on the screen, a user can see the 3-D display of the goods movements and the message flows. inconsoSIM can also be used as a training instrument for the future users of a system, thus achieving many advantages prior to Go-Live of a system. This virtual environment allows the users to become knowledgeable about the new system in advance of a Go-Live and without requiring the actual conveyor technology being available. |
