Simulation Modelling

Simulation Modelling and Digital Twins

Access the power to test real-world operations to the limit, perfect change, and understand the operational impact of new technology, facilities and processes. Simulation modelling and visualisation software allows you to:

• Save time
• Save Money
• Drive Efficiency
• Reduce Risk

Decisive action through understanding

Simulation Modelling helps organisations to visualise and understand proposed changes to facilities, processes and operations, enabling you to:

Develop a better understanding of your current operations. Identify what works and what does not, identifying what needs to change, and why.

Understand how new varieties of systems, technologies and teams will interact under new designs allowing you to envision how the component parts and complexities of your operation will perform when brought together in new ways.

Draw on your real-time operational data to build a live comparison, using your data to determine the best course of action.

What is a Digital Twin?

Our simulation experts create models (often referred to as ‘Digital Twins’) of real-world operations, which enable ‘what if?’ scenarios to be tested. We have the capability and experience to create digital twins of major and complex facilities and operations, from production, assembly and packing lines or mission-critical facilities, to staffing and customer footfall simulations in retail and commercial settings.

By simulating system operations and integrating real data, your digital twins can help improve your decision making.

We help our clients across multiple industries to replicate their current or proposed operations with our real-world conditions simulation software, forming a risk and disruption-free virtual environment where they are free to test changes to how they operate, and can visualise and understand the impact that changes bring to the function and performance of their business.

Impactful simulation modelling services

We support clients in the Energy, Nuclear, Manufacturing, Distribution and Logistics and Food and Beverage sectors, helping them to eradicate errors, improve operations and plot a path to greater productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is simulation modelling?

Simulation modelling creates a digital representation, or a model, of a system to allow you to analyse and predict how it performs in certain conditions and situations. Simulation modelling allows you to identify potential issues and implement or suggest changes to your production and manufacturing process without making real-world changes until necessary.

Why do we use simulation models?

Simulation models allow you to test and analyse how your manufacturing process works without making real-life changes that can impact production. Using simulation modelling, you can create and test scenarios and situations and predict changes and faults before they occur in real-life scenarios.

What are the two common models of simulation?

The two common models of simulation are discrete event simulation and continuous time models.

When is simulation modelling best suited for?

Simulation modelling is best used when conducting experiments on a real system in real-time is either impossible or highly impractical.
