FLEXSIM IL: VIRTUAL COMMISSIONING OF INTRALOGISTICS SYSTEMS
Modern intralogistics systems are
highly complex and controlled on different
automation levels. The design as well
interdisciplinary challenges.
“Flexsim IL” is a new add-on for the
-
ports the design and planning of material
handling as well as the development of
the control systems. The performance of
your system can be analysed with Flexsim
IL and the control units commissioned
virtually.
Typical areas of application
Storage systems and warehouses
Transport systems
Production logistics
Easy design, planning and optimization
of the material handling system
Reduction of the commissioning time
on site by up to 80%
Reduction of planning costs
Avoidance of unplanned downtimes
simulator Flexsim
Development of new operating
scenarios and routing strategies
Virtual commissioning of the control
systems
Application in all project phases

IN COO PERATION WITH
Flexsim IL
The Flexsim IL add-on consists of:
transport objects
Telegram interface for data exchange
Signal interface to a programmable
conjunction with the simulation model.
For all levels of abstraction only one simu-
lation model is needed, no matter if a PLC
or an MFC is connected to the simulation
or not.

The interfaces for MFC and PLC provide
an easy way to perform a virtual commis-
