Tecnomatix for digital manufacturing
Evaluate layouts, material flow, line capacity, and manufacturing processes in a digital environment before changing the physical plant.
What is Tecnomatix?
Tecnomatix is Siemens’ digital manufacturing software portfolio. Plant Simulation models material flow, throughput, and resource utilization; Process Simulate supports 3D simulation and validation of manufacturing processes, including robots and automation. The right application depends on your plant’s specific problem.
Typical use cases
Material flow simulation
Assess logistics, queues, machine capacity, and the effect of volume or layout changes.
3D process validation
Review production sequences, work envelopes, and operational feasibility before equipment installation.
Scenario comparison
Compare investment, staffing, and operating scenarios using a digital manufacturing model.
Who is it for?
Industrial engineers, manufacturing engineers, plant managers, and automation teams can use Tecnomatix to support decisions with data. A pilot should begin with a measurable goal such as throughput, cycle time, or equipment utilization.

Frequently asked questions
How do Plant Simulation and Process Simulate differ?
Plant Simulation focuses on material flow, throughput, and resources; Process Simulate focuses on validating manufacturing processes in 3D.
Must we model the entire plant first?
No. Begin with one process or production line with reliable data and a clear evaluation metric.
