current skills shortages in certain sectors . Modelling and simulating a synthetic environment enables customers to see how certain events could play out . We think this is essential for businesses going forward .”
AI-powered simulation
The team at Kallikor understands the everchanging landscape facing corporate leaders . It plays a vital role in enabling the rapid uptake of AI , automation and robotics in the supply chain . With its AI-powered platform , Adaption , Kallikor helps organizations adopt new technologies and rehearse the transformation of their supply chains and operations to make the needed changes confidently .
“ Our platform gives leaders the confidence to plan , knowing precise , robust simulations back their strategies ,” he continues . “ This gives them the clarity , control , and confidence needed to make decisions at pace . Adaption gives insight into local impacts , providing a clear view of how decisions affect bigpicture strategies and everyday actions . The platform makes introducing and implementing new technologies accessible and at lower risk , for businesses of all sizes . By integrating AI-powered simulation tools , Adaption allows business leaders to bridge the gap between ambition and achievement to achieve operational efficiency by deploying data-driven decision-making . “ In the past , advanced simulation
In the past , advanced simulation techniques were the domain of a few . As such , we aim to democratize access to advanced modeling to enable businesses to adopt new technologies techniques were the domain of a few . As such , we aim to democratize access to advanced modeling to enable businesses to adopt new technologies . One barrier to entry is the perceived complexity of robotics and automation and the capital expenditure involved . Clearly an investment is necessary but if modeled correctly , companies will only pay for the applications that will add value . “ Most organizations recognize that they need solutions to drive productivity , improve automation and meet their business objectives . They also know there are a lot of providers out there and our customers want to evaluate their options objectively . This is where our platform can help . Establishing the optimum configuration gives customers confidence that their investment will deliver on their business objectives .
“ Adaption is intuitive . It allows users to drag and drop and play around with what-if scenarios , so they can change parameters that are important to them . A user might , for example , want to make a change in a transport distribution network or within the warehouse to view the implications of those changes on other important aspects of the business such as CO₂ emissions . This visualization enables manufacturers and supply chain leaders to take others in their organization on the journey with them .
Tailored approach
“ Our platform provides a sophisticated enterprise-scale foundation , enhanced by a suite of interchangeable , purposebuilt templates . This powerful modeling and simulation environment enables both experts and non-experts to achieve trusted outcomes through a unified operating platform that ensures a single source of truth . Each template is precisely designed for specific use cases while maintaining seamless compatibility across the ecosystem . We work with the user to understand challenges and then create
