Cycle time per process.fsm Cuando creamos modelos de simulación en ocasiones nos limitamos a modelar un proceso o un numero de parte, en el cual tenemos problemas. Pero ¿Qué pasa cuando corremos un plan de producción completo con distintos números de parte, que ha su vez corren a diferente tiempo ciclo? Este es una manera que permite correr diferentes números de parte en diferentes procesos tantos como tu desees, cada uno con su tiempo ciclo. ¿Qué necesitamos? 1.- Etiqueta en cada ítem que identifique que numero de parte es. Por ejemplo Label: IDpart Value: ABC12 2.-Etiqueta en cada máquina que identifique el proceso que este corre. Por ejemplo Label: Station Value: Processor1 3.- Tabla global que contenga en las columnas los diferentes procesos que tienes en tu línea de producción y en los renglones los diferentes números de parte que pueden correr en tu línea. La información que contenga esta tabla será referente a los tiempos de ciclo de cada numero de parte en cada proceso. Por ejemplo: Processor1 Processor2 Processor3 ABC12 20 10 13 BAC21 11 30 20 4.-Deberas configurar el tiempo de procesamiento de tu processor haciendo referencia a tu tabla global y colocando lo siguiente: Con esto, obtendremos estadísticos ponderados de utilización para los equipos. Beneficios: Puedes correr diferentes números de parte en una misma línea con su respectivo tiempo ciclo cada una. Utilización de equipos y operadores mas exacta. Modificar tiempos ciclos en una tabla global es más fácil y controlado que directo en los procesos. Cálculo de capacidad de tu línea más exacta corriendo un plan de producción real. Puedes agregar y quitar procesos o incluso modificar el flujo de tu línea sin afectar el tiempo de ciclo que corra ese procesador. Ya que esta referenciado por su etiqueta a la tabla global.

All versions can be found in the Downloads section of your FlexSim account on the 3rd party modules tab. Please do not hesitate to report any bugs, usability improvements and feature requests to [email protected]. Rail Network: New feature in RailWorks The Rail Network feature provides users with an intuitive and efficient way to design and connect railway systems. With a user-friendly interface, this tool enables seamless track placement, automatic node linking, and real-time validation to ensure smooth rail operations. Users can quickly define routes, junctions, and stations while leveraging smart snapping and alignment aids to simplify complex track layouts. This feature is designed for both beginners and advanced users, offering powerful tools to build scalable and efficient rail networks with minimal effort. New Speed Table: New feature in RailWorks Offering more speed possibilities to configurate all the movement parameters, the new speed table covers all movement speeds, acceleration and deceleration parameters, making the model more plausible and adherent to the real world process. About Railworks The FlexSim Brazil RailWorks module consists of premade custom objects, designed to represent a real environment for the Rail problem modeling, with less configuration. Our approach is to unite 3D modeling with the Process Flow functionality, allowing object configuration and visualization through the native 3D FlexSim solution, and the rail system events to be triggered by the Process Flow, using not only defaults FlexSim Process Flow activities, but also new ones developed by our team. Release Notes View the full release notes in the online documentation. RailWorks 25.0.1 (19 March 2025) Features Feature: Rail Network A new way to create and connect your rails into the model. Simple as network nodes, now you can connect the RailNetwork nodes and easily create your own rail tracks.
