Digital twin
We develop digital twins for individual machine components such as pumps, furnaces or reactors, right through to entire production plants in which several digital twins are coupled with each other.

Research we drive forward together
A simulation is only as good as the knowledge it is built on. That is why we work closely with universities, research institutes and industrial partners – to develop further and to create new, innovative solutions together. Through the simulation network Simchronize we are also connected with experts and partners from across the industry and engage in targeted exchange on new developments.
