Sewickley, Pa. (December 1, 2009) – Simio, LLC, developer of 3D simulation software, today welcomed German firm SAT Simulations- und Automations-Technologie AG (SAT AG) as a partner. SAT AG, headquartered in Freiburg, is a global consulting company with special focus on the systematic use of discrete event simulation, system dynamics, agent-based modeling, and optimization techniques.
“SAT Simulations- und Automations-Technologie AG has a reputation as global leader in simulation and optimization,” said Simio Founder and CEO Dr. Dennis Pegden. “With their new method, SAT Simulation-based Complexity Management, they open up new paths in times of high risk and uncertainty for enterprises. Simio LLC is honored that our simulation technology will drive this method as the core engine.”
Simio® is object-oriented simulation software offering intelligent objects and the ability to model any system rapidly without compromise. Simio® was created by a team of experienced simulation software developers led by Dr. Dennis Pegden, former founder and CEO of Systems Modeling Corporation. Simio® is built on .NET technology, has built-in integration with Google 3D Warehouse, and was designed to be both powerful for advanced users and easy for beginners.
“With today’s financial and economic crisis, it is absolutely fundamental that we have Simio® available as a simulation tool that can be efficiently applied in such diverse fields such as factory and supply chain optimization, markets as complex-adaptive systems, or portfolio simulation as well as socio-economical applications,” said Dr. Thomas Arzt, CEO and President of SAT AG. “We are happy to have Simio® as a powerful core engine of our method SAT Simulation-based Complexity Management. With its unique approach Simio® provides exactly the appropriate technique which, combined with optimization technologies of Operations Research, supports holistic thinking and, therefore, give the executive level an outstanding navigation tool at hand.”
Simio® can be used in many areas including:
| Manufacturing
Layout planning Business processes |
Strategy analysis
Market dynamics Call centers Economics Portfolio and asset optimization Transportation Sociology |
