Simul8
Simulation Software for Processes & Production Lines - including Digital Twins
Simulate discrete events
Gain insights with digital twins
Use process mining
Simul8 is a visual, object-based simulation software which users can use to create digital models, so-called digital twins, of real processes in business, production and logistics as well as of supply chain networks. Simul8 supports companies in improving processes and helps to make informed and evidence-based decisions. Simul8 makes it possible to test “What if“ scenarios in a secure digital environment, for example, to simulate and practise virtual commissioning and to simulate changes to processes before implementing changes in reality. Simul8 is used across a wide range of industries – from the automotive industry and logistics to banking and healthcare.
Main Functions of Simul8
-
Visual Modeling
The intuitive drag-and-drop user interface of Simul8 makes it easy to create and adapt process models – without requiring any programming skills.
-
Real-time Analysis
Simul8 ermöglicht durch seine schnelle Simulations-Engine eine Echtzeit-Visualisierung von Prozessen – Engpässe können sofort erkannt und Systemreaktionen auf Änderungen in Echtzeit analysiert werden.
-
Visual Logic
Thanks to its fast simulation engine Simul8 allows for a real-time visualisation of processes – bottlenecks can be identified immediately and system responses to changes analysed in real-time.
-
Data Exchange
Simul8 not only enables data import and export from a wide range of applications, including Excel, Access, Oracle databases and Microsoft VISIO, but also connects to real-time data sources.
-
Object Orientation
In Simul8, processes are not replicated as rigid code, but as a collection of interconnected, independent components. Thus, the modelled systems are flexible and easy to maintain.
Advantages of Simul8
Analyse Effects Before Making the Decision
Simul8 helps to make better decisions by creating digital models of processes. Whether for optimising daily workflows or planning future strategies, Simul8 enables:
Base Decisions on Truth, Not Hunches
Make evidence-based decisions by rapidly experimenting with process changes in a digital model. Identify the best path forward without costly trial and error.
Increase Efficiency, without Increasing Costs
Experimenting with real-world processes takes time and money. Simulation lets you test and refine ideas in a risk-free, cost-effective digital environment.
Plan for Uncertainty, Reduce Risks
Run simulations for days, months, or even years in seconds. Confidently plan for and react to uncertainty before it impacts your business.
Explore Big ‘What If’ Questions
Prepare for more than just the "best" or "worst" cases. Simulation enables you to stress-test decisions against any scenario for complete readiness.
Account for Random Events
From breakdowns to staff shortages, simulation mimics real-world randomness more accurately than spreadsheets, providing realistic insights.
Win Stakeholder Buy-In
Visually engaging simulations outperform spreadsheets and charts when communicating your ideas. Demonstrate impact convincingly to gain support.
