Predictive simulation creates dynamic virtual models of your existing and proposed facilities, processes and supply chains.

Managing change effectively is critical in the competitive automotive industry, where mistakes are expensive and consumer demand for innovation is high. To succeed, you need certainty that changes to processes and supply chains will achieve the intended results. That’s what you get with Twinn Witness predictive simulation software. With the flexibility to simulate everything from facility layouts to production processes, you can easily test and validate multiple ‘what-if’ scenarios – getting answers to a range of complex questions and the insight to make evidence-based decisions before you invest.

De-risk decision making

Experiment with ‘what-if’ scenarios to find the best solution.

Reduce costs & lead times

Drive profitability and increase return on investment.

Meet customer demand

Understand where and how to increase production capability and capacity.

Improve communication

Achieve stakeholder buy-in and boost understanding of processes and data.

How can you reduce costs while shortening lead times and adapting to electrification? What’s the best way to meet challenging production targets along with evolving consumer demand for new innovations? Should you manufacture your own batteries – and will your proposed production facility achieve its targets?

Witness uses virtual models of your facilities and operations to answer questions like this. De-risking decision making, it helps you solve complex challenges, improve operational performance and boost ROI.

Manage change effectively

The shift to EVs is disrupting the entire automotive industry supply chain – creating demand for batteries and reducing demand for components used solely in ICE vehicles, for example. Introducing change to complex processes and supply chains often reveals unintended consequences and bottlenecks.

By leveraging predictive simulation to create a digital twin of your operations, you can test multiple ‘what-if’ scenarios in the virtual world before implementing changes in the real one. From boosting production rates to achieving cost savings and reducing lead times, Witness helps you make investments and process improvements with confidence.

Meet consumer demand

Faced with fast-evolving consumer demands and regulations amidst the overarching shift towards electrification, the automotive supply chain needs to adapt production capability and capacity.

By making it easy to test and validate the design and performance of proposed facilities and operations, predictive simulation enables you to understand future capacity – giving you confidence your plans will achieve targets and perform as intended before you commit your budget.

Improve communication

Need to achieve stakeholder buy-in for new ideas or capex requirements? Predictive simulation gives your business case ‘wow’ factor. The visual nature means it’s easy to share compelling information about your data, budgets, processes and how they affect one another. This gives you the power to boost communication and enhance understanding.
