An unprecedented initiative by ABDI will award ten proposals for the so-called Virtual Factory. Applications are until the 11th of November.
Those interested in registering their Virtual Factory projects will have more time to fill out the forms and participate in the competition held by the Brazilian Industrial Development Agency (ABDI). Now, the deadline will be until the 11th of November.
Ten innovative initiatives will be awarded to solve problems of companies in the productive and service sector. The objective is to select proposals for simulations of production lines on digital platforms. Proposals can be submitted by Individuals and Legal Entities.
The total amount of the prize is R$ 260 thousand, with R$ 50 thousand for the first place, R$ 40 thousand for the second place, R$ 30 thousand for the third place and R$ 20 thousand for the others. With the methods of simulating production lines, using specific software, it is possible to monitor the behavior of a production system and the various variables and operational situations.
The simulation programs have 95% adherence to reality, that is, they are an almost perfect imitation of industrial plants. In this way, tests in a virtual environment anticipate problems in production lines. In addition, it is possible to simulate projects that have not yet got off the ground, verifying their efficiency, effectiveness and operability before being implemented.
The simulations include the graphical representation of workers, inputs and equipment in motion, illustrating the flows within the factory. The tools generate performance estimates in terms of processing time, resource utilization, sizing of intermediate and operational inventories at each workstation.
The project will allow ABDI to approach the real problems of the sector. The purpose of awarding the proposals is to encourage the dissemination of these practices in companies in the country, so that the principles of industry 4.0 are increasingly applied.
