GERMAN VERSION BELOW. The ema Software Suite is a comprehensive 3D software solution for factory and workplace planning, developed by imk Industrial Intelligence since 2009. It is used by over 500 well known companies such as BMW Group, Audi, Grammer AG, Ottobock, HORSCH, and Geberit to virtually optimize processes. It includes the ema Plant Designer and the ema Work Designer. The ema Plant Designer is used for virtual 3D factory planning with layout optimization, value stream analysis, and simulation of production lines. The ema Plant Designer enables simple, fast, and precise planning and evaluation of production processes with the goal of developing lean and highly efficient production. The software offers the best of the simulation and value stream worlds and provides reliable results on workplace utilization including bottleneck analysis, manufacturing costs, lead times and critical paths, buffer locations as well as manufacturing floor space, material flows, and resource consumption, regardless of the type and size of the use case. The ema Work Designer enables precise simulation of manual processes, human robot interactions, and analyses such as MTM UAS, EAWS, or NIOSH. Planning, evaluation, and 3D simulation of human work in the context of the Digital Factory. With the ema Work Designer, workplaces and production processes can be designed in detail, manual activities and human robot system workflows can be visualized, and complete manufacturing and assembly processes can be simulated in 3D. In combination with the integrated analysis and evaluation of time and ergonomics based on standard performance levels, valid and plausible planning results for secured processes are generated automatically.

Production specialist usage and application

Within my role at BMW Plant Oxford i currently use the software for planning and optimisations of existing and future production processes.

The functionality and usability is immense.

The existing applications we have and the ability to plug in to these is excellent.

It will I believe transform our business over the next few years.
