Plan and design models intelligently linked
KHS uses design engineering methods it has developed itself which ensure that the design model is semiautomatically linked up to the planning model through the PDM system. Changes to the design are made visible in the planning model and can then be updated in the 3D plan by a click of the mouse. “The system planner is thus directly linked to the designer through the PDM system – and planning errors are ruled out”, says Riedel.
Customers benefit from this holistic planning, as the planning phase is considerably shortened. Unanswered questions can be clarified more quickly thanks to the 3D environment and on-site installation is much more efficient. KHS is currently working on virtual training scenarios for site personnel prior to assembly. This enables them to go through the individual work processes virtually so that they are better prepared for installation on site. VR simulation helps to provide simple access to and clearly visualize complex topics.
