Simulation tools improve planning and reliability of paint finishing lines

Suppliers of industrial paint finishing lines usually have only a relatively short time in which to submit tenders for the lines and get them up and running. “Simultaneous engineering” meets this need. Focuses on simulation software which allows the behaviour of projected installations as well as the associated physical and logistical processes to be examined in detail.
