Fraunhofer SimWebApp

Features

• Full featured web frontend and backend to model factory layouts for logistics simulations
• User interface collects parameters for resources (staff, machines, stocks), products (parts list) and processes (work plans)
• Scalable queueing system for simulation jobs
• Conversion layer to translate between frontend factory model and simulation engine
• Wrapper to invoke simulation engines (exchangeable)
• Drill-down navigation to analyse simulation results
• Fast rendering of result diagrams for a variety of logistics performance indicators
• Multi-user online service implementation
• Flexible role-based access control on action level
• Seamless integration of interactive simulation models into the world wide web. Deep link into models from any webpage. Example ... Open a simulation model (a specific case study) with a generic demo user account: https://fabriksimulation.ipa.fraunhofer.de/CAL/SimWebApp/index.php?action=demologin&login_pipe_command=open_usecase&piped_usecase_id=1
• Integrated framework for educational video seminars
• Management of simulation projects and models for endusers
• Extensive error handling and logging available throughout the implementation
• Well documentated software architecture and well readable english source code
• Standards-based: XHTML, CSS, Ajax, SOAP, SQL
• Modern application design utilizing object-relation mapping
• Distributed software and service architecture for scalability
• Cross-browser compatible for Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari, Opera with current releases
• (MIND: No simulation engine or algorithms included. With e.g. Desmo-J, Open Source simulation engines you could use, do exist. SimWebApp adds an intuitive web frontend for factory modeling and additionaly a multi-user online-service infrastructure to build industrial grade web-based simulation services on.)
