Simulation lab

Description

The Simulation lab is a state-of-the-art facility that specialises in a variety of simulations for production and supply chains. Here, we can model anything from production cells, production systems to intricate supply chains. By using simulation software, we can create, test, improve and communicate solutions in virtual models. This allows us to work in a secure and risk-free environment while exploring multiple scenarios to find better solutions quickly and cost-effectively.
Our team of experts and researchers utilises the latest software and technology to develop custom simulations that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each company. Our lab specialises in three main areas: process simulation, plant simulation and supply chain simulation. By using these types of simulation, we can help companies to enhance internal and external operations and provide valuable insights to optimise their entire supply chain.
