Managed Layout

Why?

Manufacturing Layout – created in Line Designer

Material flow simulation – optimize throughput and find bottlenecks based on the layout

Robotic/Human simulation – add kinematics and detailed motions to the layout

Process Planning – link product with process and equipment in the layout

are working on the same data seamlessly.

eliminated media breaks

Efficient management of changes

Leading to always consistent data, improving the engineering quality and reducing engineering efforts.



Managed Layout

Manufacturing Process Planner

You can

add/remove/reposition

equipment in Line

Designer, Process

Simulate or MPP. Result

is the same.

Same layout is also used

in Plant Simulation (but

changes are by design

not stored back to

Teamcenter)



Plant Simulation / Teamcenter

Integration Architecture / Principles

Teamcenter acting as a data source for Plant Simulation

Data is being transferred by means of Application

Interface and PLM-XML/JT

In Plant Simulation the PLM-XML/JT transfer can be

used to be incorporated into a simulation model (or build

a first skeleton of a simulation model). The model build

needs to be tailored/customized per customer

Update scenarios are possible: Layout, processes,…

Plant Simulation results are being stored as SPP

datasets to Teamcenter workflow control / revisioning

in context with process planning

HTML report of Plant Simulation can be managed as

well in Teamcenter collaboration

• Simplified 3D

• 2D

• Others …

Same library object used for layout in Line Designer

can have detailed kinematics for Process Simulate

and material flow simulation relevant information for

Plant Simulation



Collaborative Engineering

Enabled Through Managed Layout and Library

• Identify changes visually

• Controlled layout update

• Create Change Requests / Initiate workflows

• Create Issues and engage with others



Collaborate With Building Design

AutoCAD Import Capabilties

Support two use-cases

• Import Building data as reference for Manufacturing

Layout

• Migrate existing Layouts to Line Designer

Support AutoCAD 3D

Support AutoCAD Architecture Objects

Import XRef and Blocks as Structure

Preserve Block Attributes



FactoryCAD Library Migration

Migrate existing FactoryCAD objects (build with

Object Toolkit) into Line Designer

• 3D MODEL Reference set

• 2D 2D_PLAN_VIEW Reference set

• Colors

• Parametrics

• Dialog

Batch import capability of FactoryCAD Library into

Teamcenter Classification

Value: Allows existing customers of FactoryCAD to

reuse their custom libraries in Line Designer

Ease of use

Value proposition

No Expert knowledge required

Efficiently create Layouts using

Drag & Drop

Snap elements in position

Easy entry masks to modify parametric

equipment

Manipulators to move or resize equipment

Roles to give every user only the buttons he

really needs

Show only the buttons

needed for quick layout

Structured library with

search and preview

Show layout structure

with icons per object-

type, table-view to

shop object properties

Shortcut menu

for most needed

commands

Drag&Drop from

Library onto Connector

Snap conveyor into position

Adjust width, height, roller spacing, …



Ease of use



Line Designer

Layouting

Easy to use layouting

• Library (managed in Teamcenter) to easily find the

right equipment

• Drag & Drop to quickly add equipment into the

layout

• Plant Navigator shows Layout structured by

production units (e.g. Plant, Lines, Stations)

• Connectors to

• easily position components

• Connect components

• Adjust parametric components (e.g. make

successor conveyor the same width/height)

• Parametric components



Point Clouds in Line Designer

• Very quickly load large point-clouds

• use of streaming to show only details that are

necessary and load details as needed

• Capability to clip away parts of the point-cloud

• To remove unnecessary parts

• To “remove” equipment that should be replaced

• Take measurements against the point cloud

• Point Cloud can also be used for reverse

engineering, if needed



Line Designer

Block Layout / Area Calculation

• Space Consumption objects allow for easy

allocation of areas in the factory

• Can be resized in length/width or by sketching the

outline

• Area is automatically calculated and can be stored

to Teamcenter (e.g. for detailed reporting/

dashboards)

Parametric, knowledge enabled equipment

• Easy creation of parametric equipment

• Easy to define masks and manipulators to allow

users to define the right characteristics

• Knowledge can be built in to avoid mistakes

• Equipment can be enables for easier

documentation, e.g. by embedding PMI for

automatic dimensioning



Line Designer

Visual Reporting – Information at your fingertip

• Information is managed in Teamcenter

• Group/Role based permissions to protect IP

• Visual Reporting is a powerful instrument to

visualize information in a graphical way

• Did my colleagues create the new revision of the

equipment?

• What’s the status of equipment in release

workflows?

• Who’s are the suppliers?

• Where is the equipment consuming most power?

• Where are the expensive assets that contribute

most to the invest cost?

• …



Line Designer

Automated drawing generation
