External Data Systems (Extensive connectivity to most data systems) - Unlimited number of external data connections or applications.

Connect prior to, during, and after the simulation run. Analyze data with the built in scenario manager, or export it to a wide variety of applications.

• Integrated connectivity tools to most data systems including WMS, ERP, WCS, EMR/EHR, databases and Excel
• Use actual data to increase model accuracy, support seasonality transition analysis, improve validation, and increase model flexibility
• Automation capabilities include AGV's, AS/RS, Robots, and other automated equipment

With every model built, Simcad^® automatically computes and generates the model value stream map and all required lean analysis

Including Spaghetti Diagrams, Swim Lanes, heat maps, efficiency and OEE analysis. Simcad^® also provides an extensive list of reporting and analysis tools to further improve the lean analysis environment:

• Updates to the model constraints are dynamically transferred to the Value Stream Map and analysis
• Cycle time breakdown showing non-value added time and schedules in a spreadsheet and Gantt chart format
• Built in Scenario Analyzer tool with full graphing capability, interval analysis, variability and case analysis
• Automated scenario control generation
• Analyze and compare model variability
• Generate data distribution for all tracked parameters
• Simulation data-reset eliminates the effect of "warm-up" time
