INOSIM Newsletter On Process Simulation

AI (And Much More) At The End Of The Year At INOSIM
INOSIM Newsletter IV/2025

Good day,

This newsletter shows that AI tools are increasingly being introduced in the process industry. When applied correctly, they help make processes more efficient and simulations more intelligent. Experts from our innovation department presented the prototype of our AI assistant SIMOn at the Process Simulation working group for the first time and presented new approaches for real-time scheduling using simulation optimization at the PEMT conference.
Preparations for the release of version 2026 are in full swing at INOSIM, and we are giving you a first look at the upcoming features. Our current tip & trick shows how you can functionally expand INOSIM using .NET libraries. You can easily deepen your INOSIM knowledge at our open training sessions at the beginning of 2026.
And we also want to give you a little look back at our summer festival.

Best wishes for a peaceful holiday season
Your Peter Balling
INOSIM CEO

Holiday information: We are still available for you until and including December 19, 2025, and between the years only with a minimal staffing, so that we can also take a bit of a break. We will be back for you starting January 5, 2026, and we look forward to being your competent and reliable partner in 2026 as well.
