FlexSim

Simulate and optimise your processes before their implementation

FlexSim lets you simulate and compare various scenarios in a virtual environment risk-free. Use 3D process visualisation, verify hypotheses and gain certainty before you make any changes. With advanced analytics, you have a tool for lowering costs and raising efficiency – turning uncertainty into a strategic advantage.

How can FlexSim help you?

Automation

With FlexSim, you can easily test the management of automated equipment and warehousing strategies (e.g. via ABC analysis). Simulate WMS integration and verify the performance of the whole system – including complex technologies such as ASRS, AutoStore, AGVs, AMRs and robots.

Manufacturing

With FlexSim, you can easily test to see the optimal number of operators and machines, as well as takt time settings. Identify bottlenecks, what’s overloading capacities, and ways to achieve smooth production flow with maximum efficiency.

Logistics

FlexSim helps you optimise deliveries, truck routes and loading itself. Check for yourself how to cut times and costs and make better use of truck capacity – before anything leaves the gate.

Why FlexSim?

A tool for strategic decision-making

FlexSim creates realistic 3D models of real-world processes that reflect actual operations. This gives you a foundation for informed decisions that factor in both operational and financial factors.

User-friendly

Drag-and-drop workflow for easy modelling of manufacturing and logistics processes. A complete object library with built-in logic, plus an environment for creating additional logic without coding.

Ready to use right away

Includes pre-configured modules for easily extending modules to add conveyor systems, AGVs, warehouse systems and more. Our expertise gives us the ability to deliver solutions quickly, efficiently and with high added value.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is FlexSim for?: FlexSim users typically focus on process improvements in manufacturing, logistics or transport. FlexSim is an ideal tool for anyone who wants to better understand or optimise production and logistics. Its typical users include production and logistics managers, project managers, analysts, quality specialists, operations staff and more.
Is FlexSim powered by artificial intelligence (AI)?: FlexSim uses elements of AI, for example reinforcement learning for advanced optimisation of decision-making processes. That means models can be both simulated and intelligently improved based on data and the goals you’ve defined.
How do I gather the data needed to build a simulation model?: You don’t have to do it on your own. Our experts will help you determine what data is needed, where to find it and how to prepare it for use in the model. We make the most of your existing systems and help you fill in the rest, so that the model is as accurate and the results as useful as possible.
