Our latest Newsletter
In our latest newsletter, we’ve once again compiled important topics, dates, and offers related to simulation, virtual commissioning, and training. Here’s a concise summary of the content.
AI in Simulation: A Real Game-Changer or an Additional Risk?
Artificial intelligence is noticeably transforming production and logistics planning, but it does not replace traditional simulation. In this article, learn how AI can be optimally combined with physically valid models to act as an accelerator, based on seven practical insights.
Podcast: Simulation in Shipbuilding
In a new episode of SimTalk, Céline Schischkoff speaks with Dirk Steinhauer about the use of simulation in complex shipyard planning. You’ll learn how digital models minimize risks and ensure greater transparency in highly customized projects.
New Supervisory Board Member with Scientific Expertise
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Alice Kirchheim joins the Supervisory Board of SimPlan AG, bringing her expertise in intralogistics, automation, and AI. She succeeds Andreas Schindler, whom the company thanks for his long-standing commitment over the past 14 years.
Commissioning SAP EWM/MFS More Safely: With Emulation
Using emulations, SAP EWM/MFS projects can be tested realistically—without disrupting ongoing plant operations—even before physical commissioning. This allows risks to be identified early, downtime to be reduced, and commissioning to be planned reliably.
Plant Simulation 2606
With version 2606, 2D support in Plant Simulation is being phased out, which is why existing models are automatically converted to 3D when opened. The release also introduces new interfaces (including Python and HTTP) and announces a local copilot for SimTalk.
Free webinars
Our webinars provide practical knowledge on virtual commissioning, digital twins and process optimisation. Participation is free of charge and available online.
Training courses in 2026
We are offering numerous training courses on Plant Simulation, AnyLogic, SimVSM and Emulate3D. The courses range from short training sessions to basic and expert courses to coaching sessions.
Events in 2026
We will also be represented at various events in 2026, including user meetings, specialist conferences and trade fairs such as LogiMAT.
Our next newsletter will be published in October 2026.
