Learning Path

Using Visual Components for Manufacturing Design and Planning

This learning path will guide you to take your first steps in your journey to master the Visual Components for manufacturing design. You will learn how to simulate manufacturing systems from planning the initial layout and creating processes to designing the flow through the production. Layout can be then analyzed, optimized and results communicated internally or with your customers.

Requirements: Visual Components Essentials.
One of the modules requires Visual Components Professional.
