The Integrated Digital Factory: validating layout, processes, energy efficiency and PLC logic with FlexSim
How can design, layout and simulation be integrated into a single efficient Digital Factory?
Join our webinar (held in Italian 🇮🇹) dedicated to the evolution of the Digital Factory. We will explore how FlexSim has become a strategic standard to connect mechanical design with operational validation.
Topics covered
- From 3D design to dynamic simulation: how to import assets from advanced modeling environments (Autodesk) to build FlexSim simulation models.
- Project validation: moving from assumptions to measurable KPIs (resource utilization, bottlenecks, throughput).
- Operational sustainability: integrating energy consumption into the dynamic model through Flexcon Helios.
- Virtual commissioning: testing PLC programs before physical installation using Flexcon Emulation.
Through a live demo, we will present the lifecycle of a Digital Twin:
- Build phase: transforming geometric data into simulation objects.
- Configuration phase: defining process logic and routing rules.
- Analysis phase: running experimental campaigns and “what-if” analyses to validate and optimize design decisions.
- Integration phase: bidirectional connection with automation systems (PLC), including energy consumption monitoring and validation.
What is FlexSim?
Autodesk FlexSim is a leading discrete event simulation platform. It enables users to visualize, analyze and optimize any manufacturing or logistics system. Integrated within digital workflows (such as the Autodesk Digital Factory), it transforms static data into predictive analysis tools to support data-driven decision-making.
