By means of model-based analyses and digital twins, we enable you to optimize the production process and energy use off-line, to identify possible measures and to evaluate their effect in terms of product quality and production costs.

Thanks to the AIT's many years of experience and expertise in the mathematical modelling and simulation of complex dynamic processes, we are your ideal partner for detailed analyses at component, plant and factory level.

Our spectrum ranges from

• Energy technology for the economic use of waste heat, through high-performance heat exchangers, high-temperature storage tanks and industrial heat pumps, via which
• Use of new energy sources and economic exploitation of fluctuating energy prices,
• Process engineering, such as product drying or reactors, up to
• Sequence control and application optimization in discontinuous production and energy supply systems.

We are also happy to help quickly and competently with unique questions.
