IPO.Plan Develops Award-Winning 4D Planning & Visualization Tool
Maximizing production efficiency starts by maximizing the efficiency of every task during a production process. Production efficiency experts IPO.Plan provide consultancy services to a wide range of companies including Daimler, BMW, VW, Dürr, Eisenmann, Getrag and Siemens to help them optimize the design of industrial production processes, whether in new factories or existing production lines.
IPO Plan encountered a number of situations where “off-the-shelf” tools were not sufficient and the company needed to develop a product that integrated virtual reality, simulation and CAD functionality so that process information could be be visualized and more easily understood. The company used Qt to develop IPO.Log, a 4D planning and visualization tool that was named the “best product of LogiMAT 2013”. IPO.Log enables the visualization of material placement along the production line, the optimization of worker tasks and the simulation of worker paths.
