Software rapidly models conveyor system
flows
Software range is designed to facilitate the rapid modelling of automated handling systems, notably conveyors, for end users wishing to understand the flow of products around a proposed system.
Emulate3D has announced that their Demo3D Standard product is available for purchase at a special web price of only GBP 995 from their Web site for a limited time only This introductory offer is to mark the upcoming launch of the Demo3D range of software into the American market at the NA2006 tradeshow in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, March 27-30

Offline PLC testing reduces commissioning time
Offline PLC testing can reduce on-site commissioning time, improve control system quality, accelerate ramp to full production, and reduce project costs.
Material handling modelling software deployed
Dematic plans to use the material handling modelling software to enhance pre-sales client offering, as well as to model handling system types that are impossible to model using other techniques.
The Demo3D range will also be present at the Salon de la Manutention 2006 tradeshow in Paris from the March 7-10 on the stand of Emulate3D's French distributor, Simcore.
The Demo3D range is designed to facilitate the rapid modelling of automated handling systems, notably conveyors.
Demo3D is used for pre-sales demonstrations by equipment manufacturers and system integrators, and also by end users wishing to understand the flow of products around a proposed system before putting the project out to tender.
Layouts are pulled together rapidly from catalogs of standard pieces of equipment, load arrivals are built in and local control logic introduced.
Users runthe model, observe the behaviour, modify if necessary, and run again to move towards a better understanding of the project and an improved solution.
Users can create 2D CAD plans which can be exported via DXF, create videos, and generate a Bill of Materials (BOM) to include in an offer or project document.
Recent additions to the Demo3D feature set include fork lift trucks, sliding shoe sorters, slat sorters, drop tray sorters, rail guided vehicles, and many others.
Senior developer Adam Davidson said, "The architecture of the range was designed from the outset to allow the rapid addition of simple or complex mechanisms and types of equipment that would precisely match the real AMHS equipment our users need to model." The Demo3D range of industrial modelling products is the first to incorporate the realistic physical interactions between loads and the material handling equipment carrying them, and it is this level of realism that has raised the bar for industrial modelling software.
