OCS VSE
OCS Visualization, Simulation and Emulation
OCS VSE are solutions that help you design, verify and optimize conveyor systems before, during and after installation. By combining visualization, simulation and emulation, we reduce risk, improve performance and create faster and more predictable commissioning.
Visualization / Simulation / Emulation
| Layer / State | Main Purpose | Input Data | Output / Use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visualization | Early design phase, form/layout, appearance. | 3D model, CAD drawings, site-specific constraints. | Helps you “see” the system; decisions on layout, space and ergonomics. |
| Simulation | Performance, throughput, cycle time, internal flow dynamics. | Layout + process logic + time data + parameters (e.g. cycle times). | Identifies bottlenecks, tests alternative scenarios, optimizes layout & programming. |
| Emulation (Virtual commissioning / Digital twin) | Entire system behavior, interaction between hardware and software, real conditions. | Simulation model + virtual hardware + control logic + real interfaces. | Validated system, fewer surprises during implementation, faster commissioning, safer go-live. |
OCS VSE
OCS Digital Control is built on a clear three-layer architecture where field equipment, control and supervisory systems interact. Just as in the aviation industry, real-time critical control is separated from analysis and monitoring – for maximum operational reliability, flexibility and insight.
Predictable Performance – No Surprises
- See exactly how your overhead conveyor system will perform before it is built.
- Bottlenecks, capacity limits and risks are identified early.
- Confidence that throughput and availability targets are met from day one.
Higher Quality from Day One
- Problems are solved digitally instead of during production start-up.
- Faster commissioning means earlier production and shorter payback time.
- A robust and well-tested solution is delivered ready for production.
Lower Risk During Commissioning
- Fewer disruptions and last-minute changes.
- Reduced risk of delays.
- Smoother start-up and handover to operations and maintenance teams.
OCS Visualization
Bring Your System to Life – Before It Is Built
3D Models in Autodesk
Present realistic system layouts early in the sales phase.
Confident Decisions
Speeds up buy-in from all stakeholders (management, operators, engineers).
Easy Understanding
Customers see how the solution fits their facility – not just a drawing.
Customer Benefit
Clear picture = faster decisions, fewer surprises.
Customers see how the solution fits their facility – not just a drawing.
Increases transparency through a visual representation of the workflow.
Speeds up buy-in from all stakeholders (management, operators, engineers).
Facilitates better communication between teams through shared visualizations.
Improves decision-making by allowing stakeholders to visualize possible outcomes.
OCS Simulation
Focus on Cycle Time
Optimize cycle time and throughput for maximum efficiency.
Reduce Complexity Risk
Particularly valuable in large or complex systems.
Test Scenarios
Compare programming alternatives, layouts and workflows virtually.
Customer Benefit
Identifies bottlenecks and ensures the best design choices at an early stage.
Simulation shows actual output and bottlenecks – enabling smarter efficiency decisions.
Simulation shows hourly variation and imbalance in model mix to optimize flow.
OCS Emulation
Virtual FAT
Validate functionality before physical construction.
Save Time & Cost
Detect errors early and reduce on-site commissioning time.
Digital Twin
Emulate both material flow and hardware commissioning – enables virtual commissioning before installation.
Customer Benefit
Shorter project times, safer start-up and smoother go-live.
