What is Plant Simulation?

► Plant simulation is a tool used for the design and modeling of industrial plants. This is a special type of simulation that allows you to recreate the real operation of an industrial plant.
► Plant simulation is based on the creation of a digital model of the installation. This model is developed from real data about the terrain, the building and the plant equipment. From this model, a series of simulations can be carried out to evaluate different operating scenarios.
► Plant simulation allows engineers to identify and solve problems before they occur.

Benefits of Plant Simulation

► Thanks to plant simulation (plan simulation in English), companies can plan the design and construction of their facilities more efficiently. They can also use simulation to evaluate the impact of changes to plant processes, as well as to optimize equipment use and reduce operating costs.
► Plant simulation systems are changing the way industrial plants are designed and modeled. It is an invaluable tool to guarantee efficiency in the automation and manufacturing of products and the safety of facilities.
