Material flow simulation · worldwide

Find the bottleneck before you invest.

Send your product, target rate and floor space. We model your line or warehouse flow in 3D and check every section, every operator and every motor, so you invest in a system that delivers its rate on day one. Delivered remotely, worldwide.

What you get

Engineering answers, not just a nice animation

Every simulation comes with the numbers you need to approve a budget or compare quotations.

Capacity check

Every section rated

Items per minute each conveyor, curve, transfer and station can handle, against your demand.

Showcases

Two lines, simulated end to end

Concept studies for typical Saudi applications. The customers are fictional; the engineering is real.

Beverage · 6 × 1.5 L shrink packs

Water end-of-line with robotic palletizing

From the shrink wrapper to a finished pallet: in-line check-weighing, 3 % QC sampling on a right-angle transfer, zero-pressure accumulation and a two-station robot cell.

How it works

From your numbers to a proven layout

You send the basics

  • Product: size, weight, packaging
  • Target rate per hour and shifts
  • Floor space, heights, existing machines

We build and run the model

Conveyors, transfers, workstations, scales, palletizing and handling equipment, modelled to scale and run at your rate until the weak point shows.

We review the result

An online call through the 3D model, the capacity check and the options. You keep the drawing and the project brief.

Vision and mission

Every production line and warehouse delivering its designed output from day one.

Our mission: help manufacturers and logistics operators worldwide see their material flow run before they invest. We model conveyors, transfers, workstations, palletizing and warehouse flows in 3D, find the bottleneck early and turn automation budgets into proven throughput.

01

Numbers before opinions

Every recommendation comes with the calculation behind it.

02

Brand-neutral advice

We design for your output, not to sell a product. Any supplier, any technology.

03

Clear and fast

Results a plant manager can act on, delivered in days, not months.

04

Built on the shop floor

Production engineering experience behind every model, not just software.
