About Portwise
Are you interested in using simulation models to solve challenging logistic problems and implement the results in a real operating terminal?
By tuning and optimizing simulation models that mimic actual terminals, you determine the optimal 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.
