Simio overview

What is Simio?

Simio is simulation software that provides a true object-based 3D modeling environment combined with scheduling functionality to help optimize the use of critical resources, and assess the risk associated with operational decisions. The platform allows users to construct their 3D model in a single step, and then instantly switch to a 3D view. All model-building products integrate seamlessly with Google Warehouse, allowing users to download from an extensive library of freely available 3D symbols to add realism to models.

Simio’s cloud-based Portal Edition enables users to access powerful simulation processors for running various simulation experiments and generating plans. Users are able to publish and share simulation and scheduling results online, as well as create custom designed reports and interactive dashboards to communicate plan results. The Simio Portal assigns a separate processor to each simulation replication across all scenarios, enabling users to run simulation experiments in a shorter time.

Major Simio features and applications include 3D modeling/animation, experimentation, analysis, and reporting features for defining scenarios, as well as material handling with on-demand/fixed route vehicles and accumulating/fixed conveyors. Scheduling features allow users to perform risk analysis in real time to help eliminate uncertainties and improve production safety from breakdowns, material shortages, or unplanned events.
