State transition
The energy simulation
feature in Plant
Simulation is simple
and easy to use. The
behavior for pausing
times and unplanned
times in the shift model
are already predefined
and can be selected
from a pull-down menu.
State transition
Why switch machines to
Standby or completely Off?
Most modern machines allow users
to easily switch off the main engine
and go into a predefined standby or
off mode.
This feature is seldom used as many
companies do not know the savings
potential.
The state transition used in the class element of a machine enables users to
calculate the result with one click.
In the example shown here, changing the machine status during breaks and
during nonproductive night time to Standby saves 6% and to Off saves
12% of the total energy consumption!

Save Energy
Built-in conveyor lines function
Save energy
Built-in method to save energy on
accumulating conveyors.
If the conveyor is accumulating, and all parts
have accumulated and no new part enters,
the conveyor stops to save energy (and
reduce belt friction).
In this small example the energy
consumption is reduced from 72kWh to
25.6kWh
