Ensuring Success with Simulation

Simulation is an approximation of reality, the level to which it mimics reality depends on the tool and method used to implement the simulation model. The closer the simulation model mimics reality, the better its results and analysis are, while the faster the model is built and validated the greater the return on investment.

Automation Technologies Industries (ATI), a leader in factory automation, takes advantage of Simcad to demonstrate solution feasibility of a new conveyor line implementation for a major automotive manufacturer. The total value of this project will exceed $1.8 Million - we now have the contract and purchase order.

Logistics management requires careful planning and implementation in order to effectively deliver a product from a point of origin to its destination in order to meet the needs of the consumer. Because logistical mistakes can often be costly for all parties involved, it is important to analyze and optimize logistics systems. Simcad Pro's patented dynamic simulation technology allows users to create complex and intricate warehouses, manufacturing plants and transportation centers in order to encompass the full system, without the need to write code.
