WITNESS 12 - Making it easier to provide answers for business critical problems

WITNESS 12 delivers a rich set of professional tools to model and simulate any business process no matter how complex. Whether you work in manufacturing or service industries, are focused on continuous improvement strategies or with a particular investment in mind, WITNESS offers an accessible, flexible platform to test and verify business change scenarios in a risk free and cost effective way.

With WITNESS 12 modeling is quicker and more intuitive than ever helping to deliver answers faster, keeping you ahead of your competitors.

• Powerful Element Libraries and Control Options
  WITNESS 12 offers a unique range of elements with real breadth and depth coupled with a comprehensive set of logic rules and control options which enable rapid and flexible modeling. It is this productivity that makes WITNESS stand out from the crowd.

• Powerful Modular Modeling
  WITNESS 12 delivers professional capability with a track record of large scale model production. Powerful hierarchy features allow users to clone, manipulate and reuse sections of existing models using modular saves and concepts of inheritance.

• Comprehensive Reporting and Experimentation
  WITNESS 12 delivers comprehensive reporting facilities as standard. Statistics such as element counts, utilization, queue limits are all shown at the touch of a button in a variety of configurable tabular and chart formats. Define your own KPI's, publish with HTML output options and explore model results in the powerful Scenario Manager that saves experiments in a robust database.

• Costing and Sustainability Support
  WITNESS 12 can provide complete cost and revenue analysis for models and supports the measurement of sustainability factors such as energy consumption, carbon emissions and the use of water, steam, etc. These features allow processes to be designed and manipulated to take advantage of sustainability benefits and cost savings.

• 3D Simulation
  WITNESS 12 Quick3D™ allows the creation of a 3D view of a model with just a single click. Drawing on a library of 3D objects the user can configure this view and use the dialogs to configure 3D element sizes, orientations, materials and the arrangements of floors and height information. The library is extendable to use shapes in popular formats such as VRML

• Process Optimization
  Simulation models developed within WITNESS 12 can utilise Lanner's cutting edge optimization algorithms to deliver the best possible answers. Set objectives, parameters and constraints and let Lanner technology do the work for you

• Connectivity
  WITNESS 12 supports CAD and XML imports and includes linkage options to and from a wide range of platforms. Wizards enable easy connections with Excel and a wide range of databases such as Oracle, SQL Server, Access, etc. WITNESS 12 also features methods to control simulations using VBA, C# and other options for simulation application development.
