Abstract
The competition of international manufacturing networks creates pressure to increase the efficiency of manufacturing systems. In addition to this, indicative for the present period is the fact that the number of technical components in many products is increasing, and at the same time the requirements are growing for corresponding assembly, transport and logistical processes. These requirements can be administered and recognized in the scope of their complexity only through the use of an array of rapid and efficient methods in the form of a digital factory. This contribution points to the practical application of the Plant Simulation software module from the portfolio of the digital factory of Siemens PLM. This complex instrument with an environment for controlling the life cycle of a product enables repeated utilization of data, supports effective cooperation between individual units, and provides relevant data for each user who needs it, mainly from the viewpoint of strategic decision-making. The simulation of the entire flow of material, including all relevant divisions of manufacturing, storing and transport activities, is considered as the key component of the digital factory in industry and from this day forward is the most often used.
Highlights
The purpose of running simulations varies from strategic to tactical up to operational goals
The simulation model contains these processes: -- lacquering of sheet metal – line LTG2, -- pressing of the sheet metal – line LTG1, -- setting of the lacquer – 24 hours, -- crown caps (CC) production – 2 series of SACMI lines
On the basis of the monitored simulation representing 30 days of manufacturing and the statistics generated by the software 3 places in the production system were determined as having potential for improvement: 1. In the scope of the total operation time of object LTG1 they form a significant part of the idle time caused by a change of colour

Simulacija cjelokupnog kretanja materijala, uključujući sve relevantne dijelove proizvodnje, pohrane i prijevoza, smatra se ključnom komponentom digitalne tvornice u industriji i u najnovije doba se najčešće koristi
