Simons Technologies, Inc.grated Engineering with Advanced Simulation) is an advanced simulation tool that helps mills create a "virtual plant" environment in which process designs, modifications, and retrofits can be fine-tuned and verified. This tool allows innovative design concepts to be quickly tested, at low cost and risks, according to the company. It helps to audit an operation to pinpoint where it can be improved and how exactly to improve it.
The real-time graphic interfaces are very life-like, and can be used to train an operations staff. The modular structure of the tool means that a mill does not have to buy a full-performance, plant-wide package when it only needs to simulate a test panel. It is the only simulator that can seamlessly model combinations of continuous/batch processes and discreet events.
The product family includes:IDEAS Gold—provides full dynamic simulation for high levels of process detail as well as process controls and interlock logicIDEAS Silver—a hybrid, steady-state and dynamic simulator including basic dynamic elements such as pipe delays and tanksIDEAS Bronze—the economical way to model mass and energy balancesIDEAS Kodiak—in addition to providing heat and mass balances, this tool tracks material attributes in any sheet forming process, such as papermaking, to predict final sheet propertiesIDEAS Virtual Test Panels—efficient, dedicated tools for loop-back verification of PLCs and DCs
