Simulation for Academia
WITNESS® is already widely used in Academia, through Lanner's partnerships with leading national academic institutions around the world . Certainly, the needs of no two educational establishments are the same, so Lanner offers a range of implementations to suit your requirements, both in manufacturing and business environments.
The number of commercial applications for simulation is endless. So it's hardly surprising that WITNESS®, the world's leading simulation tool from Lanner, is used by thousands of the world's leading blue chip companies. Which means that Students familiar with WITNESS® will be in great demand by the commercial sector, as WITNESS® is the industry's leading simulation software.
In our experience Lanner's simulation solution, WITNESS®, is used in many ways:-
- Course Work: Development of modules to introduce the concept of simulation, together with model building and development of a practical business scenario to be used as a component part of the coursework.
- Virtual Factory: Enables students to learn shop floor operations, from the arrival of components through to dispatch. With the use of a front end menu they can try out different options and see the effect immediately, providing students with hands-on experience of the manufacturing process.
- Final Year Projects & Research: WITNESS® is used to aid research studies and give a mechanism for recommending improvements to the companies involved. The use of the industry's leading simulation tool enhances the opportunities for securing projects with the commercial sector.
Typically a WITNESS® educational package comprises some of the following items:
- Licensing-Standalone or Network licenses are available for unlimited size or reduced capacity WITNESS® implementations. Optimization and Virtual Reality plug-ins are also available.
- Training-Lecturers can be trained to the same level as our commercial customers on our public training courses.
- Software support-Covering Helpdesk support, product upgrades and membership in User Group Associations, this service ensures you have the best tools and skills available.
- Lecturer assistance-Tutorial Guides and Quick Reference booklets are provided for students, assisting the lecturer in the delivery of his or her course.
