Virtual Modeling / Finite Element Method (FEM)

Using Virtual Modeling / Finite Element Method (FEM) to optimize and troubleshoot facilities in factory logistics and automated processes (e. g., industrial vehicles and conveyor systems such as hoists, shuttle cars, freight elevators, material lifts, crane systems, stacker cranes, bridge cranes or overhead cranes) – Identifying installation weak spots ahead of time to cut long-term costs.

PSI Technics offers you a "glimpse into the future" of your installation - enabling you to predict and avoid costly downtimes for new and existing installations.

Advanced Planning: PSI Technics' use of sophisticated Virtual Models / Finite Element Methods helps detect potential weaknesses that can affect future performance. Using virtual modeling, PSI Technics offers you a "glimpse into the future" of your installation. This service enables you to predict and avoid problems that can lead to costly downtimes in new and existing installations, in addition to cutting costs in the long run.

For existing applications, PSI Technics creates computer models to pinpoint stress and strain, weak spots and potential changes for improvement.

For new applications, PSI Technics simulates the expected system behavior and performance prior to the actual installation to predict and analytically detect potential interferences. This approach allows you to identify needed improvements early in the planning stage when comparing designs of different providers.

Evaluation of the mechanical stresses of a system by means of a dynamic simulation.

At PSI Technics, virtual process modeling goes beyond outlining a desired machine behavior. We offer you an actual representation of the behavior of your specific machines, providing detailed insight into both physical and technical aspects of your installation using real data that far exceeds rough approximations or guesswork.

  

YOUR ADVANTAGES:

• Optimized process costs
• Energy savings
• Increased availability
• Shorter cycle times that match your specific process
• Reduced facility wear
• Reduced operating and maintenance costs
• Improved process quality and sustainability of your processes
• Consistent use of lightweight components to reduce installation weight

  

Three-phase optimization process.

PSI Technics' virtual process modeling is a comprehensive service offering aimed at optimizing existing factory logistics installations. Our experienced staff uses extensive analysis tools to reveal the optimization potential in your facility. We can assist you with designing and commissioning new installations to help minimize the risk of positioning errors that lead to excessive costs.

After the analysis is complete, we are providing you with a sound basis for improving your installation - giving you a complete picture of tangible optimization benefits that lie ahead.
