Manufacturing
Test every line and process change in simulation first.
Antinuous builds line and process models from your cycle times and sensor data and runs many scenarios at once as code. Each result links to the data and code behind it.
Use cases
Simulate a line change before moving equipment
Trying a new station or shift on the real line is costly and slow to undo.
You ask
Using the cycle times in this spreadsheet, compare 50 layouts of our assembly line with added test stations and shift patterns, and tell me how output and queue lengths change in each.
What it does
- Antinuous reads cycle times, shift patterns and failure rates from your uploaded files.
- It builds a line model with an open-source simulation package such as SimPy in its code workspace.
- It runs the current line and every proposed layout many times each.
- It charts output, station use and queues for each layout.
You get
A line model notebook with a comparison chart and code to rerun it.
