Factory and Logistic Centre Dynamic Simulation (Digital Twin)

Generally, many plant designs have started with the integration of the process equipment layout on the architectural plan and then improvements have been made in the design, implementation and/or operation process to make them the most efficient.
Manufacturing and logistics operations are a dynamic environment which has many inputs and outputs.

In today's technology, a three-dimensional digital twin (digital copy) of the facility is made with dynamic simulation software. All production, warehousing, logistics, etc., with a high level of visual perception on the digital twin. Facility design is started by simulating the processes of the facility and comparing the following needs and efficiency differences among the possible alternatives over numerical values.

  • Minimum space and height requirements
  • Person, vehicle and equipment needs
  • Person step movements
  • Vehicle/equipment movements
  • Warehouse material movements
  • Production/operation times
  • Forward growth needs and solution setups, etc.

At the very beginning of the work, the minimum needs of the following subjects are determined over the digital twin before the architectural preliminary project starts.

  • Minimum plant dimensions
  • Minimum height requirements
  • Minimum column axis clearances
  • Relationships between production or operations departments, space needs and locations
  • Minimum number of people, vehicles and equipment requirements
  • Raw material, semi-finished product, finished product, human and vehicle entry and exit setups
  • Storage needs and locations, etc.

In this way, you can start the plant design in the most effiecient way and correctly by visualizing many data from production costs, resource consumption, production and operation capacities, delivery times of your plant in three dimensions and measuring performances precisely.

Value Engineering

Value Engineering (VE) is a management technique that seeks the best functional balance between cost, reliability and performance of a product, project, process or service.

The primary objective of a Value Engineering study is value improvement.

The value improvements might relate to scope definition, functional design, constructibility, coordination (both internal and external), or the schedule for project development. The benefits of the application of value engineering in construction projects are based on the,

  1. Time
  2. Quality
  3. Efficiency
  4. Better management

In value engineering, the value of a product is calculated based on the relationship of cost to performance.
Max.Value = Target Performance/Min.Cost.

Value Engineering is based on 5 principles below;

  • Determine the project needs
  • Select the best solution options
  • Cost of installation and maintenance for the selected solutions
  • Comparing TCO values for 10-15 years
  • Rated the solutions and scorecard preparation 

Considering the quality, supply speed, application speed, installation cost, operating cost, efficiency, maintenance, service, extended warranty period and spare part costs, the products and systems that will be used for many years on behalf of the investor are selected more accurately and more economically with the score card method.
