Generic Simulation and Scheduling Tool for Powder Spray Coating Facilities
Reducing energy consumption, operation costs and investment risk. Using and utilizing painting lines in an optimal way. Safeguard investments in new and existing facilities.
Description
Powder spray coating facilities belong to the largest energy consumers in Swiss industry. The plant configuration and the production sequence must be optimized for economical and ecological operation. As yet there is no satisfactory tool for this. Our goal is to solve this optimization problem by combining methods from simulation, optimization and computer-aided design and to provide it as a generic planning tool for painting plants.
