System simulation.
Modelling of complex mechatronic systems
System integration
System simulation using Amesim enables the integration of hydraulics, electronics and mechanics into a single model, which simplifies analysis and optimisation.
Performance Analysis/Optimisation
Simulate the behaviour of construction machinery under various operating conditions. This helps to evaluate and optimise performance and identify potential problems at an early stage.
Fault diagnosis
Amesim enables ‘what-if’ analyses to be carried out in order to understand how changes to a system affect its overall performance. This is particularly useful for troubleshooting and diagnostics.

Digitalisation and sustainability are currently the key issues in the development of construction machinery and present challenges for designers. Above all, robust and reliable solutions that function even under the most adverse environmental conditions, such as dust and moisture, are a top priority. Added to this are demands for flexible and modular concepts that can be adapted to a wide variety of applications.
If you wish to remain ideally positioned in rapidly changing markets in the future, it is essential to actively incorporate trends such as energy efficiency and environmental friendliness into your products.
Even today, electric or hybrid applications are becoming increasingly common, even amongst the industry’s heavyweights.
Sustainable development and the efficient use of materials are essential to reducing the environmental footprint and meeting societal expectations.
Added to this, in the age of digitalisation, there is a need for autonomous systems that will collect and process vast amounts of data on the construction sites of tomorrow and assist operators via intelligent systems. Even though there is still a long way to go before full automation is achieved, this development is already making great strides in the mining industry.
The use of technical simulation remains key to tackling both new and old challenges. This is because only the digital twin enables a wide range of tests and variants via virtual prototypes, allowing development to proceed cost-effectively and in short cycles whilst maintaining the necessary level of innovation.
