Why simulate

Benefits of Simulation Software

Our simulation software offers a risk-free, interactive environment to visualize, analyze, and optimize process flows.

By using dynamic interactive simulations, you can assess the impact of improvement ideas, define and test automation solutions, and identify bottlenecks and efficiency losses. With dynamic simulation, users can create a step-by-step plan towards achieving an optimal future state, ensuring streamlined operations and enhanced productivity.

Simplified Model Building with Dynamic Simulators

Dynamic simulators offer a model building environment with constructs that let users define models without heavy coding. Our interactive dynamic simulators enable real-time changes to model constraints during simulations, creating an almost game-like experience — significantly reducing the time needed for model building, debugging, validation, and optimization.

What Simcad users say

  • SimCAD Pro is a great value, with excellent customer support, and easy to use for the average person

    Drop and drag technology is much simpler to use, coding is optional, great graphics and metrics to display your results, Monte Carlo tool is very helpful from numerous runs, and the value stream mapping feature is also an advantage. SimCAD Pro is simple connect to Microsoft Access and Excel files, has an abundance of analysis tools to extract data and identify issues, and the option to create 3D graphics for customer visibility is top notch. Additionally, this software has an incredible value and versatile functionality compared to other software programs that are grueling to program, cumbersome to use, and expensive to train employees.

  • Simcad Pro Elite was used for the analysis and optimization of a regional distribution center

    . Using the interactive modeling capability we were able to quickly identify the optimal layout along with the required design changes. Optimization of processing behavior in receiving and put away was also a focus of the model. Our first project with Simcad Pro Elite yielded an initial return on investment of 900% along with ongoing yearly savings and a reduction of time required for receiving and put away by 50%.

  • Excellent product with continuous innovation

    We used Simcad for warehouse simulation. The software is super powerful in data exchange and data analysis. It thoroughly reveals the pattern behind the warehouse operation. With scenario manger, you can compare different solutions and make a decision easily by comparing the key metrics and KPI that you care.
