Enterprise Dynamics

Enterprise Dynamics is a discrete-event simulation software platform developed by InControl Enterprise Dynamics. It is used to design and implement simulations. Results of the simulation software and services are data, information, insights, and 2D-, 3D-visualization and VR (Oculus). The software can be implemented as a customer application, enabling Digital Twins.

History
Enterprise Dynamics is based on the Taylor II simulation software, which was developed by F&H Simulations. In 1998, the newly developed simulation platform Taylor Enterprise Dynamics was introduced and in 2000, F&H Simulations was acquired by the consulting company and simulation software distributor InControl Business Engineers. The new company name became InControl Enterprise Dynamics and Taylor ED was renamed to Enterprise Dynamics.

Fields of application
Enterprise Dynamics has been applied or is currently being applied in the following fields:
 * Material Handling
 * Supply Chain Management
 * Logistics & Distribution
 * Manufacturing & Production
 * Airports
 * Harbors
 * Metropole Area & City Development
 * Rail transport
 * Healthcare
 * Automotive
 * Electronics
 * Contact Centers
 * Sports & Events
 * Public & Service
 * Educational

Architecture
Enterprise Dynamics is an object-oriented simulation platform combined with an event-oriented approach. The user can select standard simulation objects (the so-called 'Atoms'), in which the behavior of their real life equivalents is captured, from a library and create a model by clicking and dragging the objects into the model space. For each simulation object, parameters can be altered to change its behavior.

Add-ons
Add-ons are available to extend the functionality of ED:
 * CAD Import Wizard
 * DLL Kit
 * Emulation - OPC
 * Multicrane - Controller
 * Security Kit
 * OptQuest

Several market-specific libraries are also available:
