Digital twin: Simulation. Optimization. Security.

Optimization potential, such as bottlenecks in the material flow under load, can be identified and exploited in the digital environment. This minimizes rework and downtime. Changes and adjustments to the system can be tested quickly and easily in the sandbox without the need for physical components. After the system goes live, the digital twin continues to serve you as a software development environment. This means that planned WMS changes, such as extensions, can be simulated in advance in the integration environment.

Connection of the system to your WMS

You can connect your warehouse management system (WMS) to the digital twin even before the hardware is physically installed. This enables an early test phase in which errors in logistical processes can be mapped with the digital twin. This saves you valuable time, as many tests and adjustments for the system are already carried out in advance. This significantly reduces the duration of the actual integration phase.

Application examples for the digital twin

Test order processes
You can run through various scenarios to see how the system reacts to different order quantities and types.

Optimize the flow of goods
By simulating the flow of goods, bottlenecks and inefficient processes can be identified and optimized.

Your advantage: More efficiency. More security. Faster results.

DFT's digital twin therefore offers you a comprehensive and flexible way of optimizing your logistics processes and increasing the efficiency of the intralogistics system even before the physical installation is complete.

From the digital test field to the optimum sorting solution - with the sorter finder from DFT

A hand touches virtual arrows and icons, including a rocket, representing business growth, technology, Service Management, networking, communication, and progress. The upward-pointing arrows symbolize success and innovation.

With the digital twin, DFT offers a powerful simulation environment for testing and optimizing logistics processes at an early stage and putting them safely into operation. But how can you find the right sorting solution for the individual requirements of your system?

This is where DFT’s sorter finder comes in: based on your input, it suggests the right sorting technology from the DFT portfolio. The sorter finder and the digital twin complement each other to enable you to plan your intralogistics efficiently and future-proof through a targeted recommendation and a realistic simulation.
