IPACT also has the ability to simulate or model a production facility for the purposes of optimizing production or making decisions about equipment additions or changes.  

In a production simulation, IPACT represents the customer’s facility in code and links that to a graphical display format that depicts the material flow in either real time or at a much higher speed, enabling a day’s worth of production to accumulate in a matter of minutes.  Customers can use the simulation results to make process changes and see the impact of these changes within minutes.  Such an approach eliminates costly field equipment modifications and results in a superior design and/or optimized operation.

In production modeling, a mathematical representation of how the facility operates is derived, and then this model is used to generate virtually instantaneous results over various materials and operating conditions.  Links to graphical displays are normally included.  The ability to change certain parts of the process is typically built into these models, allowing rapid generation of production capabilities over many “what if” scenarios.

We have completed numerous projects in this area that have assisted our customers in solving difficult production problems, and resulted in large savings.
