- Using
proven software and hardware, Siemens has developed a unique workplace
distancing solution that helps manufacturers to simulate and manage employee
exposure risks while enabling productivity throughout their facilities
- Combination
of Siemens’ SIMATIC Real Time Locating Systems and Xcelerator portfolio help
enable customers to manufacture with confidence and future-proof their
operations
Manufacturers are facing new challenges as
they look to restart or maintain operations during the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic. As preparations are made for the “next normal”, manufacturers must
consider additional dimensions of employee safety, including the establishment
of production environments and workflows that address physical distancing
requirements. Combining proven hardware and software, Siemens has created a new
solution that enables companies to quickly and efficiently model how employees
interact with each other, the production line and plant design. The new
solution also enables organizations to build an end-to-end digital twin, in
order to simulate worker safety, iterate on and optimize workspace layouts and
validate safety and efficiency measures to help future-proof production lines.
