Simulation & Digital Twin Technology

Know the Outcome Before You Commit to It

Every operational decision has consequences. Simio lets organizations evaluate those consequences before making them. Unlike traditional planning tools that calculate expected outcomes, Simio evaluates how real-world variability, constraints, and interactions affect those outcomes over time. Using discrete event simulation and digital twin technology, organizations can understand not only what is likely to happen, but why.

What Simio Does

Every operational decision has consequences. Simio lets organizations evaluate those consequences before making them. Using discrete event simulation and digital twin technology, Simio models how people, equipment, materials, and constraints interact over time, helping teams compare alternatives and choose the best path with confidence.

  • Builds a model of your operation from real data, not assumptions, so the results hold up when you act on them

  • Runs hundreds of what-if scenarios in the time it would take to build one spreadsheet

  • Turns the scenario you choose into a schedule your team can actually run, not just a chart for a slide

Applications

One simulation platform. Countless operational challenges. From manufacturing and supply chains to airports, healthcare, logistics, and public infrastructure, Simio helps organizations model complex systems before making critical decisions.

Advanced Planning & Scheduling

Build production schedules that account for real constraints, machine availability, labor, materials, so the plan holds up on the floor.

Process Digital Twin

Test layout changes, new equipment, and staffing levels in the model first, so the floor only changes once, and it's the right change.

Demand-Driven Material Planning

Model buffer levels and replenishment rules before you set them, so inventory targets are based on how the plant actually behaves.

Queues, Service Counters & Traffic Flow

Model customer flow, waiting lines, service points, staffing, and facility layouts to evaluate service levels, resource requirements, and potential improvements.

Airports, Ports & Transportation

Evaluate passenger processing, security, gates, baggage and cargo handling, ground transportation, traffic flow, and resource requirements across complex transportation environments.

Healthcare, Government & Logistics

Model patient flow, resource allocation, supply chains, distribution networks, and other complex operations to evaluate capacity, improve performance, and test changes before implementation.

One Engine, Two Jobs: Plan the Work and Prove the Plan

On its own, Simio is a full digital twin simulation and scheduling platform. Combined with FactoryLogix, simulations are driven by current manufacturing data rather than manually maintained spreadsheets, giving planners greater confidence that the results reflect operational reality. The resulting production plan or schedule can then flow directly back into execution.

  • Simulations stay aligned with current manufacturing conditions using contextualized FactoryLogix data

  • Evaluate schedules, layouts, and capacity changes before implementation

  • Execute approved production plans and schedules through FactoryLogix

Optimize Manufacturing with Operational Reality

Evaluate production schedules, factory layouts, material flow, workforce utilization, and capacity decisions using a digital twin built on the realities of your manufacturing operation. When paired with FactoryLogix, simulation reflects current production conditions rather than static assumptions.

Simulation Beyond Manufacturing. One Simulation Platform. Endless Applications.

The same simulation engine helps airports, healthcare organizations, logistics providers, warehouses, government agencies, and other complex operations improve resource utilization, capacity planning, and operational performance.

Common Questions

No. Simio started in manufacturing, where it plans production schedules and factory layouts, but the same simulation engine is used for airports, hospitals, logistics networks, and other operations where resources, people, and time have to be planned around real constraints.
