SimPlan Services – Simulation expertise for your processes

For over 30 years, SimPlan has been supporting companies in all industries with in-depth, project-specific simulation expertise – from the initial idea to continuous optimization during ongoing operations.

Our services can be used in a variety of ways: in production and logistics, in new planning as well as in inventory optimization. You benefit from:

  • Cost certainty through sound planning and risk minimization
  • Increased efficiency through the identification of bottlenecks and optimization potential
  • Planning and decision-making certainty through realistic scenarios and reliable data
  • Flexibility and resilience for changing market and supply chain conditions

Our strength

We combine in-depth expertise, industry-specific experience, and the ability to digitally map complex processes. SimPlan supports you in the introduction and application of simulation – in a practical, targeted manner and without the need for in-depth expert knowledge on the part of the customer. Together, we define goals and areas of application, drawing on proven methods and tailor-made software solutions.

Modern approaches for modern challenges

Digital twins, virtual commissioning, and resilient planning are central building blocks for the digitalization of industrial processes. They enable:

  • Early detection of risks and bottlenecks
  • Securing investments before implementation
  • Accelerated commissioning of new systems and plants
  • Future-proof and sustainable production and logistics planning

Our simulation models map not only individual plants, but also entire factories or supply networks. In conjunction with virtual commissioning, this results in reliable and economical solutions that can be flexibly adapted to your requirements.

Our services at a glance

Whether you need selective support or comprehensive project assistance, we offer a wide range of simulation services throughout the entire product and logistics process. Below you will find an overview of our services.

Material flow simulation

Supply Chain Simulation & Resilience Planning

Using a digital twin of your supply chain, we analyze structural bottlenecks and simulate dynamic influencing factors such as fluctuating capacities, demand volatility, or delivery disruptions. This gives you clarity about risks, increases flexibility, and ensures the stability of your processes.

Emulation / Virtual commissioning

Virtual commissioning

Virtual test of control software before commissioning using a simulation model, and thereby mapping the facility in all details

Process simulation

Healthcare simulation

Simulation is used in healthcare especially to support optimisation projects as well as when planning new and modifying existing facilities, and also to test emergency scenarios

Capacity

For the implementation of simulation projects, it is not necessarily necessary for the customer to purchase simulation software, as SimPlan has all the necessary resources at its disposal.

Under certain circumstances, however, the purchase of simulation software can make sense. SimPlan also supports here with the analysis of the areas of application, the cost/benefit consideration, the selection of the suitable simulation software, training of the personnel up to the integration of the simulation solution in the company. This includes the development of simulation modules and the integration of all relevant interfaces, as well as long-term supervision, maintenance and support.

Data analysis in preparation for simulation projects

Before a simulation model is created, SimPlan checks what data is already available, where there are gaps, and how the data set can be prepared.

SimVSM - App zur mobilen Wertstromanalyse - SimPlan AG

Value stream analysis & lean simulation

Using value stream mapping, we examine your processes end-to-end and systematically identify waste, bottlenecks and inefficiencies. With SimVSM, you can run through various scenarios directly on the model, rather than having to evaluate them only after implementation.
