Portwise

Are you interested in solving complex logistics challenges by applying simulation models that lead
to a solution that is implemented in a real operating terminal?

By tuning and optimising simulation models that mimic existing terminals or terminals that are yet
to be build, you determine the best performing terminal design! Because every terminal has its own
unique characteristics, every project is different and leads to different logistical challenges to solve.

By modelling different designs into the simulation models and by varying the amount, specification
and behaviour of equipment you gain a lot of insights. You can provide a terminal with the type of
equipment and amount of equipment that gives the best performance while also taking the costs
into consideration. Or for example provide a heat map of the traffic to indicate possible problem
areas. These are just a few examples of what you can do by applying the Portwise simulation
models.

To stay at the forefront of developments in the port and warehouse business, Portwise is working
on various research initiatives. These initiatives are often supported by students. We mostly work
with students with a background in Operations Research, Engineering or Computer science, but
we also work with students that have affinity with simulation and modelling of logistic processes.
