Resource Objects

Tecnomatix Plant Simulation provides these resource objects, which represent the Workers and the people and stations related to them:

• The AGVPool for creating automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

• The Broker for brokering services offered and services required. It might represent the supervisor of your plant.

• The Exporter for providing and exporting services. It represents a group of people, whose individual members you cannot distinguish and whom you cannot address as individuals.

• The FootPath for modeling a path on which the Worker walks from the Workerpool to the Workplace.

• The LockoutZone for controlling a group of material flow objects. If one of these objects fails, all other objects within the lockout zone stop processing parts

• The Marker to set milestones along which the AGVs drive from the AGVPool to their destination.

• The ShiftCalendar for modeling the shifts worked in your plant.

• The Worker for doing a job on a workplace at a station.

• The WorkerPool for modeling the staff room of your plant.

• The Workplace for modeling the actual place attached to the station, where the Worker performs his job.

The resource objects work together with the material flow objects Station, ParallelStation, AssemblyStation, and DismantleStation.
