Logistics Planning/Tractory Curves

This tool allows the tractory curve for road vehicles to be calculated and displayed. Furthermore, the envelope curves and surfaces of conveyor and transport system routes can also be calculated. The specific dimensions and weights of the vehicles can be adjusted individually. The number of individual positions can be set in increments. The calculated envelope curve and envelope volume can be increased by one offset value.

The calculated result files can be used to display 2D and 3D views of the vehicles. It is also possible to blind out the vehicles. It is furthermore possible to select or cancel the display of a curve, or select an envelope curve or envelope surface.

At present, the following types of vehicles are supported:

Road vehicles:

• Limousines
• Lorries, with and without trailers
• Semitrailer lorries
• Buses/articulated buses
• Caterpillar vehicles
• Track vehicles

Conveyor systems:

• AGV
• Electrical overhead conveyor chassis
• Electrical overhead conveyor unit
• Electrical overhead conveyor heavy load unit
• Pendulum conveyor units
• Rodip units
• Vario-Shuttle units

Customer benefits

• Easy to operate and rapid acceptance by the users
• Usable with conveyor tracks, polygons or B-spline curves
