Create a photorealistic virtual replica of your warehouse. Simulate AMR/AGV fleets, test layout changes, and validate automation decisions — all before touching the live floor. Achieve up to 15% efficiency gains without physical modifications.
A warehouse digital twin simulation platform creates a dynamic, physics-based virtual replica of your entire warehouse facility — including racks, conveyors, AMR/AGV fleets, robotic arms, and human operators. Unlike static 3D visualization tools, this platform ingests real-time data from your WMS, WCS, IoT sensors, and robot fleets to continuously synchronize the virtual model with live operations. You can run thousands of what-if scenarios, validate automation investments, optimize layouts, and predict bottlenecks — all within a risk-free digital environment.
From facility import to real-time operational monitoring in four steps:
Import CAD (DXF/DWG), BIM (IFC), or LiDAR point cloud (PLY) data to auto-generate a photorealistic 3D model of your warehouse facility.
Define equipment types (AMR, AGV, conveyors, robotic arms), zones, workflows, and connect to live data feeds via REST API, MQTT, or OPC-UA.
Run what-if scenarios, simulate fleet sizes, test layout changes, and identify bottlenecks using the built-in discrete event simulation engine.
Deploy validated changes to the live floor. The digital twin continuously mirrors operations with <500ms latency for real-time KPI dashboards and anomaly detection.
A comprehensive simulation toolkit covering the full lifecycle of warehouse planning, optimization, and real-time operations.
Import CAD/BIM files or scan facilities with LiDAR to generate photorealistic warehouse replicas. Test aisle widths, storage zones, picking flows, and dock door assignments before moving a single rack. Supports virtual warehouse layout optimization that mirrors your actual facility with 99.5%+ simulation accuracy.
Simulate hundreds of autonomous mobile robots navigating your warehouse layout simultaneously. Validate path planning algorithms, detect traffic congestion points, and optimize fleet size using real order profiles. Supports AMR, AGV, conveyor systems, robotic arms, and smart shelving — all in a single simulation environment.
Connect your real PLC programs and warehouse control system logic to the digital twin via OPC-UA. Test automation sequences, sensor interactions, and exception handling before hardware arrives. Reduce on-site commissioning time by 40–60% through full warehouse virtual commissioning.
Run thousands of layout and operational scenarios in parallel. Compare 20 vs 30 AMRs, evaluate alternative slotting strategies, model new product introductions — all against your historical order data. Make capital decisions backed by simulation evidence, not gut instinct.
Once live, the digital twin continuously mirrors actual warehouse operations via IoT sensors and WMS data feeds with <500ms synchronization latency. Visualize bottlenecks as they form, predict congestion 30 minutes ahead, and validate that real performance matches simulated expectations.
Real-time 3D views, throughput heatmaps, path analysis overlays, equipment utilization charts, and congestion index dashboards. Track throughput, travel distance, wait times, energy consumption, and fleet utilization — all in a unified WebGL-powered interface rendered with Three.js.

Forecast future throughput requirements and plan expansion.
Train warehouse staff and operators in a risk-free virtual environment.
The platform supports three operational timeframes, each with distinct simulation capabilities and use cases.
Warehouse automation is accelerating, but the cost of getting it wrong is higher than ever. Digital twin simulation platforms eliminate the guesswork from automation investments.
Layout changes require halting operations, moving conveyors, and reprogramming robots. One wrong decision can cost hundreds of thousands in rework and downtime.
Too few robots = bottlenecked throughput. Too many = traffic jams and wasted capital. Without simulation, fleet sizing is based on spreadsheets, not actual order profiles.
Seasonal demand spikes expose layout flaws invisible at steady-state. By the time you identify the bottleneck, the peak window has passed.
Optimize layout, material flow, and zone assignments in simulation first. Companies have achieved 15% throughput improvement using only virtual optimization — zero CAPEX on physical modifications.
Simulate 20 vs 25 vs 30 AMRs against your real order data. See congestion heatmaps, utilization curves, and throughput limits before spending on hardware.
Validate PLC logic, WCS sequences, and safety zones in the digital twin before hardware arrives. Reduce on-site integration surprises and rework.
A warehouse digital twin simulation platform creates a dynamic, physics-based virtual replica of your entire warehouse facility — including racks, conveyors, AMR/AGV fleets, robotic arms, and human operators. The platform works by importing your facility data (CAD, BIM, or LiDAR scans) to build a 3D model, then connecting to live data feeds via REST API, MQTT, or OPC-UA to synchronize the virtual model with actual operations. You can run what-if scenarios, test layout changes, simulate fleet sizes, and validate automation decisions — all within a WebGL-powered browser interface with <500ms real-time synchronization latency. The simulation accuracy exceeds 99.5% compared to real-world benchmark data.
The platform supports all major warehouse automation equipment: AMRs (autonomous mobile robots), AGVs (automated guided vehicles), conveyor lines, robotic arms, smart shelving systems, AS/RS, and sortation systems. For robot fleets, the VDA5050 standard enables vendor-agnostic integration with brands including Geek+, MiR, Fetch, Locus, OTTO, AutoStore, Dematic, Swisslog, KUKA, and ABB. You can simulate up to 1,000+ robots simultaneously with real-time collision detection, and run mixed-brand fleet scenarios in a single simulation environment.
The platform provides native connectors for major WMS systems including SAP EWM, Oracle WMS, Manhattan Associates, Blue Yonder, and HighJump. Data integration happens through REST API, MQTT, OPC-UA, and WebSocket protocols for bidirectional communication. You can import order profiles, inventory snapshots, and labor schedules directly from your WMS to make simulations reflect reality — not assumptions. The layered architecture supports both SaaS cloud deployment and on-premise installation, with flexible options for hybrid setups across AWS, Azure, GCP, or private data centers.
The platform supports three deployment models: SaaS (cloud-hosted on AWS/Azure/GCP), on-premise (your own data center), and hybrid (combination of both). Each simulation session supports up to 50 concurrent users in collaborative multi-user mode, allowing planners, engineers, and operations managers to work together in the same virtual environment. The WebGL/Three.js rendering engine runs directly in modern web browsers — no heavy client software installation required. For photorealistic rendering needs, the platform also supports NVIDIA Omniverse integration.
The platform covers six core application scenarios: (1) New warehouse planning — design and validate greenfield layouts before construction; (2) Bottleneck analysis — identify congestion points and throughput constraints using heatmaps and path analysis; (3) Fleet optimization — simulate different AMR/AGV fleet sizes against real order data to find the optimal configuration; (4) Virtual commissioning — test PLC programs and WCS logic before hardware installation, reducing commissioning time by 40–60%; (5) Capacity prediction — model business growth scenarios and new SKU introductions; (6) Training simulation — onboard operators and test emergency protocols in a risk-free virtual environment. The platform operates across three time horizons: strategic design (months ahead), tactical planning (weeks to days), and real-time execution (live operations with <500ms latency).
