Excel as a Bridge: Streamlining Simulation Data When Databases Aren’t Ready

April 23, 2025

Excel as a Bridge: When connected databases aren’t available, simulation projects often face delays and inefficiencies. In this session, Natalia Weis and Cristina Palomares from Lear Corporation present a practical solution: using pre-templated Excel tables to streamline data integration in Siemens Tecnomatix Plant Simulation. This method reduces errors, saves time, and empowers users—regardless of expertise—to manage data efficiently. With a focus on flexibility, standardization, and ease of use, this approach has proven effective across automotive projects and beyond. Attendees will gain actionable insights and see real-world examples of how Excel can act as a powerful bridge between disconnected data and effective simulation.

Crane simulation reduces costs while enhancing planning reliability

March 31, 2025

Crane simulation plays a vital role in optimizing industrial production by improving workflow efficiency and ensuring seamless coordination between human operators and machinery. Integrating remote control systems allows for precise movement and synchronization, minimizing delays and inefficiencies. Accurate simulations also help determine the ideal number of cranes required, preventing costly overdimensioning. Additionally, assessing load distribution on crane runways ensures structural stability and avoids expensive retroactive modifications. By leveraging digital tools, businesses can enhance planning reliability, reduce costs, and improve safety. At the Plant Simulation User Conference 2025, Steffen Bangsow will present insights on optimizing crane-based production systems.

Plant Simulation User Meeting "What's new" presentation

Welcome to the 2023 Tecnomatix Plant Simulation User Conference!

April 27, 2023

Discrete event simulation is a powerful tool used in many industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. It involves modeling a system as a series of discrete events, such as the arrival of a customer or the start of a production run, and simulating how the system behaves over time. This allows analysts to study the system’s performance under different scenarios, identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, and test new strategies for improvement. Plant Simulation software from Siemens is one of the leading platforms for discrete event simulation, and the annual user conference is a key event for experts in the field to share knowledge and insights.
