New cooperation with INOSIM

SimPlan AG, one of the largest simulation service providers in the fields of production, logistics and the process industry, has entered into a sales partnership with INOSIM Software GmbH. INOSIM is a German software developer for simulation solutions in the process industry and biotechnology sectors. The partnership is not limited to the domestic German market, but extends internationally to include China, for example. There, SimPlan is successful with its own subsidiary since 2010.

INOSIM Software GmbH is based in Ammersbek near Hamburg, with another subsidiary in Dortmund, and has been operating in the simulation solutions market for eight years.

The company sets new technological standards in the process and biotechnology industry through its research and development cooperation with the Dortmund University of Technology (department of bio- and chemical engineering).  The cooperation resulted in the development of high-performance simulation tools like INOSIM Professional (see screenshot).

Apart from the detailed simulation of batch-oriented and general cargo production processes for production planning, capacity analysis or plant design, INOSIM’s simulation tools show new opportunities especially in the field of biotechnology: simulating the behaviour of living production factors (e.g. bacterial strains) demonstrates dramatic potential for optimisation in biotechnological production, especially in the use of resources, waste minimization and output.

This enables SimPlan to offer further specialized software solutions for chemical and biochemical production processes in addition to their products for the process industry.
