Resources

Resources basically are the virtual 3D representations of any real physical objects. In the context of FASTSUITE Edition 2 resources are those objects that play a static or dynamic role in the digital factory layout to support the definition, programming and simulation of a process for manufacturing, material handling or logistics. From that point of view resources can be any device, machine, tool and equipment or even humans.
A resource usually is built from some 3D CAD geometry. According to its role in the digital factory layout it is extended with kinematic and / or material flow definitions, physical properties and a set of adapters, the objects to connect the resource to other resources and controllers in the layout.
