Recent Government of India initiatives like 'Make-in-India’, has resulted in manufacturers increasing their drive to modernize their factories to compete in a global economy. As a result, these policy-driven events have brought increased adoption of advanced manufacturing standards like Digital Twin and Industry 4.0 and in the use of automation tools like AGVs and Robots to improve manufacturing efficiencies and throughput.
The implementation of these modern methods has required manufacturers to use more sophisticated visual 3d simulation tools, such as Flexsim Software to justify their capital expenditures and to understand their impact on their factories.
Manufacturer’s key objective is to minimize risk in a rapidly changing environment and especially where large investment is required like adding new factories or modernizing old ones through advanced automation. All these activities pose several challenges to senior management who must get used to making faster decisions than in the past.
This has required manufacturers to use advanced analytical tools like simulation that can assist them in making better decisions to increase their profitability from these big investments.
One such tool is Flexsim software, which can simulate in a 3d virtual PC environment to provide answers to all these important questions that executives seek when making decisions on their large investments and in scaling up their factories and warehouses.
About Flexsim & its Operations in India & Other Countries
Flexsim Software is a product of Flexsim, a US based firm based in Orem Utah and is led by Bill Nordgren, a world-renowned simulation expert and Roger Hullinger and they have a global presence across all geographies and we in Commercial Consultancy Services India have been associated with Flexsim Inc since 2007. Commercial Consultancy Service is the official Flexsim partner in India. For more details, please visit our official website. Like us in India Flexsim has a global presence as there are FlexSim partners like Commercial Consultancy Services operating in other countries like Japan, China, Middle East, and most countries in Europe and North, Central and South America also.
“In the past 15 years Flexsim has gained a foothold in India as a simulation leader with many Indian companies using it to effectively plan their manufacturing and supply chain strategies. We also serve the Education segment in India, as many leading engineering colleges in India use Flexsim Software to train their students in Industrial and Manufacturing programs”, mentions Mano Kanthanathan ,the CEO of Commercial Consultancy Services.
In India, the company is based in Bengaluru, and we have a team of simulation experts based in Trivandrum, Kerala that serve the market in India and some of our customers in Europe, Asia, and US. Our focus in India is to train and support Flexsim software customers, provide technical support to them and to carry out simulation projects. Some of the company’s customers are leading consulting firms who use Flexsim
software as a tool to provide services for their own global clients.
The Benefits of Using Flexsim Simulation Software
Flexsim Software is a 3d simulation tool, where a user can build a virtual factory or warehouse or logistics network in a PC environment to examine different scenarios with a high degree accuracy to make optimum decisions. Using Flexsim software, the user can easily determine what the inventory and lead time is at different points in time and determine space requirements and what additional capacity is needed to achieve the desired output. In addition, the 3d simulation model can be used to optimize the number of operators or other equipment required and to show visually when the bottleneck arises and what its causes are and how to fix them. The benefit simulation provides the user is a 3d animation driven insight into their factory and warehouse decision making process, which is not possible through any other means.
Its use therefore saves time and money and reduces the risk in a volatile environment to generate a large ROI.
Flexsim 3d Simulation software therefore replaces the Excel spread sheet the de facto tool used to analyse such factory operations. An analysis based on Excel Spread sheets has very limited capabilities when solving complex factory operations, while Flexsim software visually solves these matters in a 3d environment to enable decision maker to make accurate decisions.
Current Use of Flexsim Software in India
Today, Flexsim software has more than 4000 customers globally and many Multi Nationals operating in India have simulation departments that provide simulation services for their own factory and warehouse operations and Flexsim software has the largest set of simulation users in India in the commercial and educational segment.
Mano Kanthanathan, Managing Partner
Flexsim sees the market in these technologies increasingly moving towards the use of Artificial Intelligence and Optimization to enable decision making in complex manufacturing environments and where there is large scale use of automation. In this regard, Flexsim development has advanced its platform to include these methods in our latest version.
Our goal as a company is to build an awareness of the large-scale benefits of using simulation technology in decision making in India. This is a strategic decision on the part of the user and requires a commitment to engage with us for the long term
Additionally, simulation is gaining usage in the non-manufacturing sector also, such as container shipyards, airport terminals, retail outlets, road traffic planning, and so on. as these business segments also require simulation analysis to ensure an optimum design. “The other area where we see growth is in the use of Digital Twin and in adoption of Industry 4.0 standards, which requires the user to visualize factory operations in real time in a 3d model to proactively take corrective measures to resolve issues before they become a large-scale problem”, says Mano Kanthanathan.
