Visual8 has been selected as the Canadian Distributor of AutoMod Software.
Leading manufacturers worldwide have selected the AutoMod simulation environment to build highly detailed models for analysis and development of complex materials handling systems.
By simulating your processes in AutoMod's virtual world you can save time and money in the real world.
AutoMod Software Model Accuracy
To be a truly useful decision making tool, a simulation model needs to be accurate. The AutoMod Software suite of simulation tools provides an environment for building highly accurate engineering models for analysis and development, as well as for control system emulation.
Every operation uses different rules, and AutoMod Software is flexible to allow modeling of your own specific requirements. AutoMod differs from other simulation tools because there are no limitations on:
- Model size
- Complexity
- Level of detail for operational rules
AutoMod includes templates for accurate modeling of material movement, whether by conveyor, lift truck, operator, overhead crane, or automated vehicle. These templates give the user unlimited flexibility for movement modeling, and also help speed up model construction without compromising accuracy.
AutoMod models are also graphically accurate. All work is done to scale in AutoMod, with real time, Virtual Reality graphic animation helping to validate the model and communicate the design visually. A "picture is worth a thousand words", and AutoMod's VR graphics significantly reduce the number of words required to communicate a system design.
Virtual Reality 3-D Graphics
AutoMod provides the user with a set of material handling system templates that have been developed with real-world experience in industrial automation. As a result, a substantial portion of the underlying model is automatically generated for the user from the graphics and the material handling system input parameters.
AutoMod movement systems include:
- Conveyors - Accumulating, non-accumulating, roller, and belt conveyor systems.
- Path Based Movement - Used to model vehicles that follow a route or path (manual lift trucks or automated guided vehicles), or people moving along a path or route.
- Power & Free - Similar to a conveyor system, but moves around to pick up loads rather than moving loads along a fixed conveyor. Generally consists of an overhead trolley with "dogs" (hooks hanging from the chain sections).
- Bridge Crane - A set of rails on which a crane moves over pickup and delivery (P&D) areas.
- AS/RS (Automated Storage and Retrieval System) - One or more aisles of storage racks where Storage/Retrieval Machines (S/RMs) pick up and retrieve loads. Storage racks are arranged along parallel aisles; both sides of each aisle are served by a single S/RM.
