Simulation models for material handling equipment design – evaluation criteria, methods and application

Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 2

Abstract

Decisive criteria for the efficient use of CAE are available and well proven but are focusing on engineering in general. These decisive criteria are hardly being transferred to Intralogistics. A CAE application method out of a pool of engineering tools of the Institute of Logistics Engineering TU Graz (ITL) tries to close this gap. In the application field logistics engineering the method assigns simulation tools by usage criteria to engineering phase methods and their design principles. This method can contribute to spread CAE and to lower application effort. The authors depict this method, give an exemplarily use and illustrate the benefit by two different simulation models (use cases) in two different application fields of logistics engineering.
