Overall, the code simulates the lifecycle of circles with dynamic movements, colors, and status updates.

  • Circles move from their initial position to the middle of the canvas, then to the end of the canvas.
  • Circles change color during different phases of their movement.
  • The simulation includes a queue system to manage the order in which circles move to the middle.
  • Circles have waiting times and update their positions accordingly.
  • The simulation runs at a specified rate, and the code uses delta time to update the simulated time.
  • The code includes functions for rendering the circles, displaying the current simulated time, and updating the status table.
  • There is an option to pause and resume the animation using a button.

Visualization Summary: Dynamic Buffer Stock Visualization in Production Processes

Conclusion: This visualization offers a bridge between abstract production concepts and tangible insights. By visualizing buffer stocks and production flow, operators can proactively manage processes, anticipate issues, and optimize operations.

Objective: In production processes, buffer stocks play a crucial role in ensuring smooth operations, acting as reservoirs during fluctuations in demand or supply. This visualization offers a dynamic representation of buffer stock levels, making abstract concepts tangible and providing operators with foresight based on predictive data.

Visual Elements:

  1. Nodes: These represent production units or items. Their movement along a path can indicate the flow of products or raw materials in the production process.
  2. Path: Symbolizing the production pipeline, this guides the nodes from their origin to the buffer stock.
  3. Buffer Stock (cylinder): An interactive representation of buffer stocks. As more production units reach it, it fills up, showing the current stock levels and providing insights into potential shortages or surpluses.
  4. Ripples: Each ripple in the buffer stock signifies the arrival of a new production unit or batch. Its frequency can give insights into the rate of production or the rate of usage.
  5. Fill Level: This dynamic meter gives a cumulative view of the buffer stock levels, offering a visual cue about stock levels without delving into detailed data.
  6. Throughput Time Indicator: Within a circle, this displays the average time taken for units to move through the production process, providing insights into process efficiency and potential bottlenecks.
  7. Utilization Percentage: A real-time update on how much of the buffer stock’s capacity is being utilized, assisting in demand and supply management.

Interactivity: Nodes (or production units) can experience delays, symbolizing production slowdowns or increased demand. The ones following line up in a queue, depicting real-world scenarios of waiting due to process inefficiencies.

Purpose: To provide a real-time visual representation of production flow and buffer stock levels. By making these intangible concepts visual, operators can not only react to current situations but also make informed decisions based on predictive insights, ensuring optimal operation and reduced wastage.

How to Read:

  • Observe the flow of nodes to understand the real-time movement in the production process.
  • The buffer stock’s fill level offers insights into current stock levels.
  • Ripples provide a quick visual cue about the frequency of stock inflow or outflow.
  • Throughput time and utilization percentage offer quantitative insights into efficiency and stock utilization.
