Types of Plant Simulation users

Experts

• Everyday useof the system

• Strong programming knowledge

• Complex problems, longprojects

Non experts

• Occasional use of PlantSimulation

• No or limited programmingknowledge

• Simple problems (ex.manufacturing or assembly lineswith 10-30 stations)










Prospect says: „Nice system… but,when I need to make some speciallogicI need to program … manufacturingplanners are not programmers… themost complicated software we canuse is Excel…”

The solution: making programmingof Plant Simulation as easy as usingExcel :)

The solution is: SmartTalk library

Issues with selling Plant Simulation




Easy to use, easy to learn

Excel style „programming” of Plant Simulation

Embedding programming into material flow

More visible simulation logic

Same syntax as SimTalk, so could bethe first step to learn SimTalk

SmartTalk development goals










SmartTalk: a programing tool for occasional users

Goals:• Having visual approach

for small programmingproblems

• Shorten the learningcurve for beginners




Customers, who can use equations in Excel, and would like to havesomething similar in Plant Simulation

SmartTalk: Similarities with Excel

Benefits:• Excel like behavior• Very easy to use (of

course it haslimitations)

• Possible to use mixedwith normal Methods

Sample: Hello World










Easy to use tool to find the right function

Fx – the function browser




Live demonstration










Plant Simulation Application(!) or Standard, or Professional license

For Student and Education license SmartTalk is available FREE

Currently English and Hungarian language supported (German is comingvery soon)

System requirements




Full 3D representation of everySmartTalk object

Tooltip for most of the objects, tosee the parameters withoutopening the object

Much more user friendly error handling

More closer to SimTalk syntax

New functionality for V12










Manufacturing planners, who would like to make more complex models without „hardcoding”

Occasional users, who needs to change some business logic behind the simulationmodel

University students to focus more on learning material flow simulation, instead oflearning programming

Resellers and partners to demonstrate Plant Simulation to the prospects with an „easyas Excel” customization method

Plant Simulation service providers, to allow their users to change some logic in thedeveloped complex model

Target customers




Thanks for your attention
