FlexSim has been used to model and analyze robotic cells in manufacturing environments, including dynamic scheduling and control of a robotic assembly cell. Robotics and Crane įlexSim's standard object library contains a 6-axis robot object capable that contains both pre-built motion logic and the ability to create customized motion paths. In one study, FlexSim was integrated into a dynamic data-driven application system to automatically generate simulation models via the XML language. The software has been used for nearly real-time production planning, which improves upon the Master Schedule approach (which can get out of date and miss on-site changes).

įlexSim can be extended through C++, which allows the software to be integrated into systems involving real-time data communication. With the ongoing trend of Industry 4.0 pushing manufacturers toward automation and improved communication, FlexSim has been used to develop computer simulation models for these applications. Industry 4.0 įlexSim has been used to automate simulation model development for more than a decade a 2008 study described a FlexSim-based solution that communicates with Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software to generate simulation models. Some examples include studies to determine optimal buffer sizes, optimizing blend components in feed production, rescheduling problems in mixed-line production planning, optimizing electronics assembly lines, and steel production scheduling.
