ftsim 0.9.3

Simulates and visualises transport of loadunits in a warehouse environment.

FTSim - Warehouse Transport Simulation

This Python Package simulates and visualizes the transport of loadunits in a simple warehouse environment.

Different layouts and optionally orders are stored in a database and can be used, changed, added by the user.

The loadunits can be transported in and between areas, like conveyor belts, workstations for picking and storage areas. This can be done manually, automatically or driven by orders.

The basic idea of this project was dealing with the question if the time required for a batch of orders is predictable.

Work in progress

The Softwareproject FTSim is still at work, and the documentation is not finished, but runs stable under MS-Windows and linux, and probably also under MacOS.

If You have any questions, suggestions, corrections, don’t hesitate to contact me at [e-mail].

Audiance

The project can be used just for playing, or to train sql skills. For developers the combination of tkinter, sqlite and threading might be of interest.

Installation

The project does not need any extra packages, its all in the standard library. Make sure you are using python3:

and run it:
