Plant construction software for renewable energy on the NextGen 2013 Moers, Germany 21 November 2013: the promotion of renewable energy with affordable engineering software projects is at CAD Schroer atop the agenda. The CAD-software provider presented its latest developments in March at Biogaz Europe, in April on the sustainability live and in October on the NextGen 2013. For eco-friendly plants and factories, the worldwide environmental awareness drives local politics and the use of new environmentally friendly technologies for a more efficient utilization of renewable energy sources. Combined with combined heat and power biomass, anaerobic digestion and bio waste electricity generation (EFW) were the focus of many energy conferences this year,”says Anke Adams by CAD Schroer UK. We took part in the conferences, to help the profitability in the planning and execution of engineering projects in the field of renewable energies more efficiently to make.” CAD schroer group presented its 3D-Anlagenbau-Software, the it project engineers enables systems to plan whatever size, with engaging full supply techniques and to create cost estimates for brownfield – or greenfield projects quickly.

Companies that use MPDS4 for projects in the field of alternative and renewable energies, receive a 70% discount on the software of CAD Schroer. Also the maintenance and support are offered similarly beneficial. MPDS4 demo videos: produkte/mpds4/anlagenbau.html MPDS4 for renewable energy: produkte/mpds4/mpds4-aktion-fuer-alternative-und-erneuerbare-energien.html comprehensively informed about renewable energy visitors of the NextGen 2013 could with a challenging and diverse Conference programme in detail about energy efficiency, reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and financing, planning, preparation and operation of supply systems for energy generation from renewable energy sources inform themselves. Speakers on four different stages concentrated on small systems such as biomass or Power heat cogeneration plants in urban areas in the immediate vicinity of the consumer. The sections of the Conference brought visitors with topics such as current legislation and industry analysis on the cutting edge. We are pleased that we can contribute to the sustainability debate with our software and our expertise, as well as the technology that makes the system planning as productive and profitable as possible,”so Anke Adams.

FLS: Trends of production planning for 2014 Eschweiler, 3rd December 2013 FLS offers views on trends and challenges developments in the area of production planning and control (PPC) for the year 2014: the variety of products is rising due to the change in consumer behavior. Companies are challenged to improve processes in order to secure the pool position prior to the competition. Because anyone who can deliver more reliable and cheaper, especially with shortages. According to FLS, systems (MES) in the manufacturing industry, a provider of software for manufacturing execution manufacturing companies with following developments and challenges faced: manufacturing companies are under increasing pressure to meet the demand and the needs of their customers. They expect constant readiness in an increasingly changing assortment and decreasing quantities per article. This can be measured particularly at times of high demand, such as E.g. a heat wave in the summer, an early onset of winter, or even seasonal events in the year.

The production can’t then with conventional planning, on short-term contracts, changes, fast enough to respond to bottlenecks or outages. Companies must be flexible in your production and yet continue to cost effectively produce, to remain competitive. A production planning optimization must be at the top on the priority list. Following trends for production planning are: 1. increasing of productive hours setup time optimization.

The high times and set-up costs offer savings in production planning. These are caused through the conversion of the machines and thus connected standstill of production facilities and high personnel costs. The focus of the production planning is the calculation and reduction of set-up time and cost. It aims to avoid the costly setup, waiting and waiting times through a meaningful sequence planning. Use a matrix of set-up time is unsuitable because the first level and the subsequent care with a high effort, are connected. After a relatively short time can be traced barely, as the individual values are reached.
