Καινοτομία

The EU-funded CLOUDSME project has made it easier for SMEs looking to apply simulation technologies in order to achieve operational efficiencies.

While simulation software is now widely used in manufacturing and engineering to analyse chemical processes, manufacturing systems, logistics and supply chains, take-up of simulation software by SMEs has until now been low. This is mostly due to high barriers of entry such as hardware prices, licensing costs and technical expertise. In this respect, European SMEs can find themselves at a competitive disadvantage.
