New with Version 15.0: Free Moving Transporter and AGV

To match current customer requirements and state-of-the-art technology for AGV systems it is necessary to simulate/support vehicles driving independent from fixed track systems.

• Vehicles can drive on the shop floor • A driving path can be assigned to a vehicle through a SimTalk API

With free moving AGV also virtual commissioning use cases are possible where e.g. a PLC based AGV fleet manager controls the AGV driving paths and orders.

Customer Benefits: • Increased flexibility for simulation of current AGV systems Get rid of modelling • Enhanced capability for virtual commissioning of complex, fixed track AGV control systems systems
