Upgraded simulation software
Three years in development, BedRock Software, LLC's newest program
is said to represent a completely new generation of simulation software
to manage and optimize an aggregates operation. AggFlow Design and
Manage is a hybrid program that allows workers to work on-line or offline and to share projects with other users at will. The sharing capability
is intended to allow process engineers, consultants, and equipment
dealers to work collaboratively when developing a plant optimization
strategy. Simulation can be used to determine optimal production capacity for a particular equipment configuration; then users can input
field sample data to compare what the operation is actually producing
to its theoretical capability. This information can then be used to identify and eliminate bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
