4. SIMOGGA Solutions
• SIMOGGA Layout design:
– A solution applying material-flow optimization through Cellular Manufacturing
methods; a key enabler of increased production speed and flexibility while reducing
the capital requirements
• SIMOGGA Planner:
– An Advanced Planning & Scheduling solution to optimize your goals, with limited
resources under constraints
• SIMOGGA Appliance:

Visualize
your flows
Quantify
your flows
Optimize
your lay-out
• Global analysis of all traffic and material flows
• Show all these flows in a visual way
• Create awareness on all movements within the plant
• Compute the impact of all flows on
o Distance covered
o Production speed
o Cost effectiveness
• Present several scenarios/layouts to value the
impact of a change
• Emphasize the most efficient/cost effective scenario

④ Proposition

11. ⑤ Our solution: SIMOGGA,
intuitive factory lay-out optimization software
11
SIMOGGA is a graphical material’ handling system enabling all the actors
in the factory (1) to visualize, quantify and optimize the layout (2) based
on a global flow analysis (3) using a small amount of data built on
SIMOGGA’s optimisation algorithm

18. How do we deliver the results to our customers?
http://www.amia-systems.com/business-process.html
22
• ERP (routing)
• MES (machines)
• 3rd parties
databases
Extract Routing and
Production Data
• Layout Design
requires only 6 types
of data
• Planner requires
goals, resources,
constraints
• Appliance requires
connected devices
Transform Data to
match SIMOGGA
data model
• Set the as-is
situation
• Flow decomposition
• Machine duplication
• Independent cells
creation
• Set Multiple
Operational
Objectives
Analyse data using
SIMOGGA
• Return on
investment
• Multiple factory
layouts
• Overall Equipment
Efficiency
• and much more
Propose Operational
Improvements

19. Questions raised by AMIA Systems’ customers
or prospects
23
Can you give
me the global
view of my
factory ?
Could you create
cells from our
current factory
layout?
Can you identify flows that
can be improved without
increasing the CAPEX ?
By how much could
you improve the
productivity of our
as-is situation?
Could you propose a
factory layout for
our new building?
Could you revise the
production lines and increase
the productivity by 20%?
⑤ Solution

20. What did AMIA Systems for his customers?
24
Better
distribution
of the
manual
operations
Cost/benefit
analysis
and more ...
Identify
virtual
production
lines by
duplicating
machines
New layouts
proposal with
incremental
modifications
