Simulation models optimize planning
Using different simulation models, we analyze capacity and performance in order to provide recommendations on the system design and capacity, the number of bridge cranes and performance requirements as well as insight on the operational rules of the system.
Why simulation?
- The model provides a detailed view of the proposed system to make sure it meets your specified KPIs. It’s also used for throughput calculations, i.e., what would it look like if we added a second crane on a runway.
- Simulation modelling with 3D animation helps validate the design in terms of crane behavior, stacking height and operational rules.
- The model is also used to optimize coil storage strategies and capacity, mobile robot/conveyor routes and material logistics within the facility.

Digital twin for insights and training
We use cutting-edge simulation technology to create a digital twin of your crane-automated coil warehouse that emulates the crane movements. This virtual model helps operators and engineers gain valuable early insights into the expected performance of the entire system.
Why a crane emulator?
- Can help identify potential bottlenecks, optimize storage configurations, and fine-tune operational procedures even before the physical warehouse is constructed.
- Can be used as a training tool for operators, letting them get familiar with the WMS and crane automation functionalities during the engineering phase.
- Advanced training helps provide a smooth transition to real-world operations, reducing the learning curve and enhancing overall efficiency once the warehouse is operational.
