现代物料搬运系统（MHS）是由不同自动化水平的各种控制单元控制的复杂系统。MHS设施布局的设计和控制单元的开发需要应用不同的CAE工具，但仿真和虚拟调试目前并没有发挥重要作用，因为没有针对所有项目阶段和控制级别的集成仿真验证环境。本文提出了一种方法，对一个综合的基于仿真的验证工具的所有阶段的MHS项目。在第一阶段，进行工厂模型的物质流模拟以分析关键性能指标。该模型可重复使用，以测试和验证控制单元，如物流控制器或可编程逻辑控制器的功能。一个自动的等价性检查工具识别模拟运行之间的差异。一个重要的好处：一个通用的仿真模型用于所有项目阶段。
Modern material handling systems (MHS) are complex systems which are controlled by various control units on different automation levels. The design of the MHS facility layout and the development of the control units require the application of different CAE tools but simulation and virtual commissioning does currently not play a significant role because there is no integrated simulation-based verification environment for all project stages and control levels available. This paper presents an approach towards an integrated simulation-based verification tool for all stages of an MHS project. During the first stage a material flow simulation of the plant model is conducted to analyze key performance indicators. This model is reused to test and verify the function of control units such as material flow controllers or programmable logic controllers. An automatic equivalence checking tool identifies differences between simulation runs. An important benefit: One common simulation model is used for all project stages.
