IPS Layout Planning and Optimization Module

The IPS Layout Planning and Optimization module provides a framework for planning, evaluating and optimizing factory layouts with respect to multiple objectives. It has a tight connection to the state-of-the-art digital human modeling software IPS IMMA. While there are layout planning softwares that often provide extensive capabilities in either simulation, visualization or optimization, IPS Layout Planning and Optimization module aims to provide unique capabilities in all of these areas and provide connections between them where possible.

• Optimization algorithm capable of finding the exact optimum regardless of starting solution
• Approximating optimization algorithms that can optimize locally around a given solution or with a set of randomly generated solutions
• Possibility to formulate multiple objectives and combinations of them
• Flexible formulations of spatial requirements for the layout, allowing constrained, or completely free placement of resources and machines
• Open scripting Lua-based scripting API enabling utilization of software in batch tasks or in conjunction with other softwares
• DHM simulation capabilities and possibility to evaluate and optimize a layout based on a fixed work sequence

Windows 7 or later. IPS Basic/View software platform.
