Case Study: a durable goods manufacturing company validates material handling system design with Dematic simulation modeling

Durable Goods manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

A durable goods manufacturing company needed to validate the design of its proposed material handling system before implementation due to the project's large size and scope. The company engaged Dematic to employ its simulation modeling service to test the performance of the system and evaluate alternative configurations.

Dematic developed a detailed simulation model of the entire system, which included kitting workstations, a buffer, and material transport. This model was used to validate critical components like buffer capacity and fleet size, identify potential bottlenecks, and test design revisions. As a result, the durable goods manufacturer resolved performance issues beforehand and confirmed the system could handle all operating scenarios, ensuring an accurate and efficient final design.
