Simulate material flow — realize your plant’s full potential
Could your plant do more, if all of its bottlenecks were identified? The answer to this question is almost always a resounding yes. Logistics simulations uncover a steelwork’s hidden potential and make it easier to execute extensions or modifications.
This presentation was part of the Pioneers Connect 21 virtual conference by Primetals Technologies, held April 13–14, 2021.
