On Implementing Layout Changes
The Challenge
Hapro had to adapt their facilities to growing new demands, however reorganizing a running factory meant risking downtime and bottlenecks.
The planning phase for moving or setting up new production lines would take months.
They lacked a way to accurately predict how changes would affect logistics, specifically the routes for Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs).
The Solution
Hapro utilized Moicon's Digital Twin platform to create an interactive 3D replica of their facility.
Using laser measurements, Hapro could drag-and-drop machinery into their Digital Twin verify fit and flow.
They used Moicon to simulate production scenarios, identify bottlenecks and optimize AGV routes in a digital environment.
The tool turned complex data into an intuitive visual model that everyone from various departments could understand and collaborate on.
