HANS LINGL ANLAGENBAU: simulation of new facility

Simulation of a future plant for the ceramic building materials industry

HANS LINGL ANLAGENBAU & VERFAHRENSTECHNIK GMBH & CO.KG is a leading supplier of machinery and plants for the ceramic building materials industry – from brick and roof tile factories to split tile and stoneware pipe factories to refractory plants.

Task

  • Animation of process flows
  • Investigation of priority rules
  • Support with shift planning
  • Capacity planning with regard to the number of kiln cars
  • Compliance with technological restrictions

Function

Software: Enterprise Dynamics

  • Model parameterisation via a central Excel file
  • Layout-accurate representation of the factory building
  • Through animation: Process recognition and process understanding

Focus of the simulation

The kiln car circulation system is modelled in a closed loop. The focus is on:

  • Priority-controlled transport to and from the kiln
  • Compliance with technical and time restrictions

Key questions answered

  1. How many kiln cars are required to meet all restrictions?
  2. How many shifts are required and how can they be optimally scheduled?

Results

  • Demonstration tool for sales
  • Planning tool for capacity and shift planning
  • Planning reliability for compliance with technological restrictions
