Multi-user online service implementation for web-based factory modeling. Rich user interface and scalable backend system to build online simulation services on or do other processing of factory data. Demo at https://fabriksimulation.ipa.fraunhofer.de
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.)
