Streamlining processes and their digitization with the help of simulation and visualization
Abstract
In the 21st century, most of the world's leading companies use simulation programs to simulate various processes. Software aimed at modelling and simulation greatly increases productivity and efficiency in the creative activity of workers and opens the potential for interactivity of workers in the value chain of the enterprise and in real time. The result is shorter development time, higher product quality, data collection, management and processing, and less expensive physical prototypes. These programs make it possible to record the entire process in the smallest details and thus eliminate bottlenecks, deficiencies and various errors that could occur during real production. The simulation will ensure the tracking of the entire production process even before the start of real production, so that the production will be as efficient as possible without any downtime and errors. The aim of the article is to highlight the issue of simulation and the introduction of Industry 4.0 principles into companies to increase the overall efficiency of business processes.
