DYNAMIC SIMULATION

Dynamic simulation is at the heart of how we help clients understand, plan, test, and improve their production systems. It provides a powerful platform for analyzing operational performance in a virtual environment, capturing real-world behaviors, constraints, and variability that define your operations. This makes it possible to anticipate system performance under a wide range of conditions and uncertainties - particularly with scenarios that are difficult or risky to test in practice. We pride ourselves on building high-definition, visually immersive models, but our true focus lies in developing accurate, properly constrained virtual replicas of your operations. These models enable you to validate throughput capabilities, identify bottlenecks, define equipment and resource requirements, explore “what-if” scenarios, and quantify trade-offs - before committing time, capital, or resources. Our modeling approach brings clarity to complex system behaviors and supports confident, data-driven decision-making, whether you’re designing new facilities, rethinking planning strategies, or troubleshooting existing operations. We’ve successfully applied dynamic simulation across mining, materials handling, minerals processing, logistics, manufacturing, automotive assembly, and a number of other industries. In many cases our simulation efforts have formed the analytical backbone of feasibility studies, design reviews, and operational improvement programs. If simulation is already part of your internal process improvement toolkit, we can help you go further, faster. We thrive within multidisciplinary teams, including in-house production improvement specialists, to strengthen your simulation-driven initiatives - whether building your own models, validating results, accelerating delivery, or helping you get more value from the tools you already use. We're experienced across multiple simulation platforms and are happy to work with whatever best suits your environment, although we can add the most value when working with Simio® (Simio LLC) and Siemens Plant Simulation (part of the Tecnomatix® portfolio from Siemens Digital Industries Software).

OPERATIONAL ANALYTICS
Picture5.png

At Dydx, we don't just build simulation models, but backup this with brilliant analysis Often done in support of dynamic modelling we offer advanced computational and statistical tools for analysing process data in aid of process capability development, to support decision making, drive process improvement, and achieve operational effectiveness. These services include the identification and acquisition of relevant process data using tailored sampling plans, basic montecarlo modelling of static systems, statistical design of experiments (Taguchi arrays), and subsequent analysis to isolate process performance drivers, determine factor sensitivities, and understand the underlying correlations. Traffic Surveying tease out solutions from your production records Providing statistically relevant insight gotten from the data. Statatistical design of experiment, Taguchi arrays. Split into two functions: Analysis of existing operational data, which often goes hand-in-hand with a simulation exercise, from which we insights into critical failure modes, or bottleneck location, and identify suitable courses of action to address variance. We also offer data collection services where no operational data currently exists, for key factors, done in support of your organisation's digital transofmration initiatives, our capabilities include advanced statistical analysis, supplemented with powerful and creative graphing and data visualitsation capabilities. we love to create insightful graphics that help draw out the key process and system behaviours that dominate your operational behaviours. Supported with data science and bespoke coding and number maniuplation methods Main effects analysis
