Computer-assisted simulation is the art of reproducing a system into a model, analyze its behavior over a certain horizon, and understand the interactions between its components. Manufacturing and business simulation can be applied successfully to the study of the economical, egronomical and operational dimensions of a project.

• Simulation gives one the power of understanding, forecasting, controlling as well as doing trial-and-errors studies at no risk for the actual operations:
• power to understand how a system will behave even before it is built;
• power to evaluate various reorganization scenarios without touching to it;
• power to see in a few minutes, weeks and months of production;
• power to compare and select the best operating strategies, daily or even hourly;
• power to emulate the behavior of the system to validate interactively the control logic of its control systems.

We have built our know-how on our tools. We are actively involved in their development and promotion in the industry, services and education institutions. MultiCIM has been the official reseller in Canada for Brooks Automation products since 1992.

AutoMod

Developed in 1982, AutoMod is a simulation tool allowing true 3D modeling and simulation of industrial systems (both manufacturing, material handling and warehousing), as well as services and information systems.

AutoMod is a natural extension for CAD and spreadsheet-based applications used in the design and analysis. Indeed, it brings your projects into the TIME DIMENSION and let you observe and analyze the dynamics inside your system and its components before you put them to work. 

AutoMod is successfully used by hundreds of companies around the world in manufacturing, logistics and services.

AutoSched

AutoSched is a natural extension to AutoMod in the area of planning and shop-floor scheduling. Since its initial release in 1993, this Advance Planning and Scheduling (APS) tool has become the reference in the field of finite-capacity scheduling. Just like AutoMod, AutoSched and its family of products are constantly enhanced.

With companion tools such as MultiAXS , DB Client, ISS Reporter, RTD (Real Time Dispatcher), the AutoSched family works in perfect harmony within the other information systems components, but can also operate as stand alone products. The interfaces of these products are user-friendly and can be easily tailored to your exact needs of your operators and managers and to use the vocabulary of your organization and operations.

AutoStat

AutoStat is responsible for managing the analysis phase of your simulation experiments with AutoMod or AutoSched. It is a precious and hard working assistant, able to complete thousands of simulations and analysis unattended, during nights and week ends. With this tool, you can:

• determine the warm-up period
• perform confidence interval on performance measures
• compare scenarios
• check the sensitivity of the performance to single or multiple criteria
• do factorial plans (Design of Experiment - DOE)
• perform multi-variables optimization on your design

AutoStat greatly helps you in the management of the analysis phase of your AutoMod and AutoSched projects
