51 Realized dip and KTL coating plant in practice Simulation of a dip pretreatment and KTL coating in the quotation phase Technical drawing of a dipping and KTL coating plant in the execution phase REAL SIMULATION BEFORE REALIZATION Already in the pre-planning and quotation phase, individual processes can be optimally networked and the need for buffer, sorting and intermediate storage locations can be determined. With a corre- sponding simulation tool, the specified key figures can be checked with regard to feasibility with the projected plant layout. A virtual coating process can be simulated with modern software without moving a component or consuming a single drop of paint.
