What is Simulation Engineering?

Simulation Engineering is the process of modeling the performance of a system in a virtual computer environment to analyze and predict the system’s dynamic behavior. Once modeled, you can develop industrial engineering solutions and engineered recommendations to improve the system operation.

The Design Systems, Inc. Experience

Our team works with yours to understand the details about your current or future manufacturing or distribution system. We’ll collaborate to define key parameters which are used to “simulate” the system.

We utilize advanced software such as AutoMod and PlantSim to model the dynamics. Through analysis and experimentation, we produce key information for you which can be used to optimize, validate, or improve the system.

Benefits of Simulation Engineering

Simulation engineering offers manufacturers a powerful toolkit to analyze and optimize their production processes. From evaluating throughput and identifying bottlenecks to visualizing material flow and optimizing resource utilization, simulation provides valuable insights for informed decision-making.

By virtually testing different scenarios – such as production mix variations, conveyor speeds, and facility layouts – manufacturers can identify areas for improvement, reduce risks, and ultimately enhance their operational efficiency. This technology enables data-driven planning for warehousing, material delivery, and even vehicle traffic within the facility, leading to a more streamlined and productive manufacturing environment.

Outcomes & Deliverables

Simulation engineering delivers more than just data; it provides a comprehensive understanding of your manufacturing system. By documenting processes, parameters, and flow, it clarifies the dynamics that often remain hidden. This leads to informed decision-making, allowing you to identify the best system concepts before investing capital.

Beyond improvement and optimization, simulation validates future concepts, predicts the consequences of changes, and creates compelling visualizations for communication. Ultimately, the simulation model becomes a living tool, accurately representing your operations and enabling you to confidently explore "what if" scenarios for continuous improvement.
