Hello, I’m Lionel Broglia with Siemens PLM Software.
Developing industrial machineries such as packaging, bottle filling, metal forming or
textile machinery, requires finding the best compromise between various attributes.
Productivity, to reduce the cost of production. Accuracy, to limit reject rate.
Reliability, to maximize the production time.
And efficiency, to reduce the cost of the energy, and eventually
comply with local environmental regulations.
As a consequence, industrial equipment companies have to size multi-domain systems,
including electrical, mechanical, hydraulics, pneumatics, and thermal,
to increase the production speed.
But this should not impact the quality of the product, neither the accuracy,
nor the reliability of the machine.
In addition, tracking energy losses of machines is important to both optimize existing systems,
and develop new energy-efficient ones.
In this context, the LMS Imagine.Lab simulation platform, from Siemens PLM Software,
offers many analysis capabilities to optimize the performance and reliability
of your industrial machinery, at all stages of the design process.
From machine systems architecture, to design of systems and components, system integration,
and control strategies validation.
It supports your competitiveness objectives by frontloading design validation, limiting
costly physical prototype tests, and delivering high-quality and high-performance machinery.
The sizing of actuation systems strongly influences the production speed.
With LMS Imagine.Lab Amesim, our system simulation software, you can simulate various technologies
of actuators - like hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical-, and couple them with mechanical
moving parts to estimate the cycle duration.
Also, you can easily remedy vibration issues to reach quality and reliability targets.
Energy efficiency gains are a necessity for manufacturers.
The use of LMS Imagine.Lab Amesim facilitates the energy optimization of industrial machinery.
By modeling the machine systems and components,
you can easily assess how the energy is being consumed or lost.
For example, you can analyze internal electrical resistance of motors which dissipates energy.
Specific analysis tools allow to spotlight the sources of loss and high consumption.
You can then monitor the global machine efficiency, and make design changes accordingly.
With LMS Imagine.Lab Amesim, you get a unique integrated environment that provides realistic
component and system models.
Plus, it enables both system engineers and automation engineers, to begin evaluation and
validation phases early in the design cycle.
The integration of a machine model with the automation program permits the early evaluation
and validation of the complete machine, hardware and software.
It helps eliminate development cycle uncertainty, resulting from late design process integration.
In addition to LMS Imagine.Lab Amesim, LMS Imagine.Lab Sysdm and System Synthesis enable
to organize and manage mechatronic simulation data, from mechanical to controls engineering.
It offers systems engineers and architects the capability to seamlessly work together
on conceptual design and system architecture, integration and validation.
It becomes possible to implement a comprehensive model-based systems engineering process,
by synthesizing complex system configurations and creating product architectures to assess
performance requirements.
