Logistics digital twin

Enable the visualization and experimentation of potential supply chain scenarios, all grounded in your real company data. The concept of digital twins is revolutionizing the field of logistics, providing an intelligent simulation and advisory platform.

Use digital twins to clarify cause and effect

Clarify the cause and effect of events in the supply chain with a level of precision that was previously unknown with a digital twin. Digital twins provide a detailed virtual copy of the real network and the processes used there. 

It connects the operational level with the strategic decision level. In other words: Each turn of a screw in the operational system can be "performed" ahead of time and its effect on the overall process can be evaluated on the basis of real data. It's the ideal simulation and consulting tool of the digital world. Users are able to make tactical and operational decisions with a degree of transparency and quality of resolution that's somewhat like looking into a crystal ball.

Excel with our services

Implementation and support

Work with our experts to establish your supply chain (SC) digital twin. Your digital twin can reflect the entire SC and help you abstract your current state to gain insights into present, past or future conditions.

Logistics and intralogistics

Address operational, tactical and strategic inquiries using your new digital twin that caters to network logistics and intralogistics.

Simulation and test

Test actual SC alterations in your simulated model before implementing. Simulate numerous scenarios within the timeframe of a real SC pilot project.
