Four Dimensional Modelling • Material Flow Simulation • Manufacturing System Conceptual Design and Analysis • Feasibility Studies • Factory Layout Design • Process Modelling • Visualisation and Communication of Concepts • Simulation Training

Analysing manufacturing systems can be very difficult, but Understanding and Communicating that Analysis should be Simple.

That’s where the power of 4 dimensional modelling really kicks in... 4 Dimensional Modelling? It's three dimensions in space + the dynamic of time.

Imagine a realistic model showing parts moving down assembly or packaging lines, operators moving between processes, accumulation of work in progress, and forklifts or AGV’s moving product.

Then imagine having the power to easily change variables and 'see' the impact - move a workcell, automate a process, reduce the number of forklifts, integrate new work into existing facilities or change the control system.

Imagine being able to report on different parameters - resource utilisation, stock levels, travel distances, congestion of aisles, turnaround time for delivery vehicles... virtually anything.

Now stop imagining.

For 10 years we have been working with Australian manufacturers to analyse their operations and build realistic computer models to understand new facilities or the impact of proposed changes to existing facilities before they are made.

Good manufacturing design requires integration : plant layout : material flow : wip storage : material handling : warehousing : despatch. 4 Dimensional Modelling takes the focus out of the individual systems and puts an emphasis on the whole.
