INOSIM Newsletter On Process Simulation

Process Industry: Digital Transformation With INOSIM
INOSIM Newsletter III-IV/2024

Good day,

In this edition of our Newsletter, we have gathered exciting news from the world of Process Simulation and Digital Transformation for you. Find out the inspiring challenges discussed at the AKPS meeting (Process Simulation Working Group) under the headline Data Driven Modeling and about the  interesting insights from our presentation given at the Smart Process Manufacturing Congress. In the last few months, we have also published new articles that demonstrate the value of simulation across the entire process and plant cycle. You can find the links below. Furthermore, we present the latest update of INOSIM software for process simulation, as well as a new Tip and Trick from our simulation experts to fully exploit the performance of our solutions. Finally, find our open training courses for the upcoming months.

Yours sincerely
Peter Balling
INOSIM CEO

Current News

• The 13th Meeting Of The AKPS: Data-Driven Modeling In Practise
  Data-driven modeling takes simulation to a new level. Machine learning, for example, enables simulation models to be trained with data, resulting in highly accurate simulations and accordingly accurate predictions of plant behavior in real time. In the Process Simulation Working Group, simulation experts reported on this from their operational practice. Read more…
• Successful Talk: Bridging the Engineering-Operations Continuum
  Just as last year, INOSIM again supported the Smart Process Manufacturing Kongress in Würzburg. In a successful talk, Dr. Christian Sonntag explained how digital twins can create added value over the entire life cycle of a batch plant. This included design, planning and construction of the plant as well as optimizing the plant´s operation in all dimensions. Read more…
