Simulation in ports by Talumis

Ports and port operations are highly capital intensive. The logistics in ports are complex systems because of the variation in the arrival times of the vessels, the availability of product or storage for products and sharing of (un)loading and other resources.

Availability of berths due to tidal or weather events and a channel that limits the number of vessels that can sail to or from the port simultaneously can make the problem even more complex.

GEMINI – Digital Twin for Container terminals

Our simulation tools are the basis of our Digital Twin. Together with our Joint Venture partner (DSP) we develop and implement Digital Twins for decision support, covering prediction, planning & scheduling and emulations. Find out more on the GEMINI page.

Talumis uses the best simulation software: FlexSim

FlexSim is powerful yet easy-to-use software for simulation. A comprehensive and innovative simulation engine is hidden behind drag and drop controls, drop-down lists and many other intuitive features that make it accessible for anyone to experiment with a model. All simulation models are created to scale and are presented using 3D visuals, making it easy to watch the virtual system go through its daily operations and visually observe which elements are lacking in efficiency. FlexSim also gives decision makers the tools to confirm their observations, with impressive statistical reporting and analysis built right into the software.
