AutoMod simulation software provides an environment for building highly accurate models for planning, design and analysis of manufacturing, automation, material handling, and other physical systems. Users can easily simulate systems of any size or level of detail, from manual operations to fully automated facilities, with true-to-scale 3-D virtual reality animation to easily analyze complex systems.
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.
With its flexible architecture, AutoMod’s simulation capabilities are used in a wide range of applications, including baggage handling, internal logictics, warehouse, storages and distribution, automotive, semiconductor, and transportation. Optional add-ons provide enhanced statistical analysis, presentation graphics and animated movies, modeling of complex movement, and information transfers between models, and third party applications.
