Process and Production Simulation as the key to Data-Driven-Decisions

In plant design, critical decisions often have to be made at a very early stage – and a reliable database is worth its weight in gold! Process and production simulations are extremely helpful: In a virtual environment, different scenarios can be tested without risk and key questions can be clarified at an early stage.

For example: Is the chosen system configuration suitable for achieving the required production capacity? What media supply capacity is required and are existing systems sufficient? Does the system need to be expanded with a new line, or will it be sufficient to make minor adjustments? Are there enough CIP stations planned? Where are the bottlenecks and how can they be eliminated?

The INOSIM Insight simulation software is used in pharmaceutical plant engineering. It offers graphical recipes, access to external data sources and an integrated Gantt chart for visualization of simulation results. Users can adapt their model in detail to the real plants and processes, regardless of their complexity.

An impressive best-practice example illustrates the use of simulation: simulation studies were carried out during the concept design phase to integrate a new production line into an existing site of a blood plasma processing company.

INOSIM software solutions are tailored to the needs of the process industry. The simulation approach leads to accurate digital twins of processes and plants – a clear added value that can be used in plant operation!

INOSIM Foresight provides production planners and plant operators with the ability to visualize the effects of malfunctions, delays in the production process and necessary maintenance windows. This knowledge can be used to actively counteract negative effects on product quality and production times.
