Open Day - Simulate Everything: Accelerating Efficiency with Simulation
Manufacturing companies face constant pressure to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and stay competitive in a fast-paced market. While simulation technology holds enormous potential, many remain hesitant—concerned about complexity, cost, and the need for specialized skills.
In reality, modern simulation tools offer both highly customized modeling for complex scenarios and accessible, off-the-shelf solutions that can quickly deliver measurable value. But without the right guidance, this potential often goes untapped—leading to missed opportunities and falling behind more agile competitors.
Join us for an info evening that brings clarity and action. With real-world examples, live demonstrations, and expert insights, we'll show you how affordable, cutting-edge simulation can drive impact in your production environment—and how to get started, step by step
Demonstration:
- Digital Twins & Robotic Manufacturing Discover how digital twins and offline programming with enable virtual validation of robotic processes—reducing downtime, improving precision, and accelerating deployment in automated production.
- Process Optimization through Simulation: Learn how simulation tools help identify bottlenecks, balance workloads, and optimize production flows—delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, throughput, and resource utilization.
- Human-Centered Factory & Workplace Design: Explore how holistic simulation of human-robot collaboration, ergonomic workbench systems, and online engineering tools leads to smarter, safer, and more adaptive production environments.
