Digital Logistics
A digital twin for the logistics network too
Digital Logistics provides planning, simulation and execution optimisation for supply chain and logistics networks, bringing warehousing, transport and packaging into one digital model.
Manufacturing digitalisation often stops at the factory gate. Inside the plant data is connected; how material arrives, how finished goods leave and how the warehouse is laid out still run on experience and spreadsheets. Digital Logistics builds the logistics network as a digital twin, simulating cost, lead time and carbon under alternative layouts and strategies.
The practical value is simulate before you build. Whether to open a new warehouse, where to put it, how to sequence lines, how to route transport — all can be run in the model first, so decisions rest on numbers rather than instinct.
Key capabilities
Network planning
Multi-tier logistics network modelling to assess site selection and service radius.
Logistics simulation
Simulate and compare layouts, batch sizes and routing strategies.
Warehouse optimisation
Slotting, pick path and labour efficiency optimisation.
Cost and carbon
Logistics cost and emissions computed together, supporting sustainability targets.
Execution and tracking
Interfaces with execution systems to track actual logistics status.
System integration
Data integration with ERP, MES and PLM.
What it delivers
- Major logistics investments simulated before commitment, cutting the cost of mistakes
- Warehouse and transport options compared quantitatively instead of by feel
- Cost and carbon visible together, balancing savings with compliance
- Integration with PLM/MES completes the end-to-end digital thread
- Capacity and order volatility modelled ahead of time, improving responsiveness
