Unique in the Nordic countries, the fully digital interactive simulation lab of logistics and supply chain management makes it possible to act out the processes of the modern supply chain and carry out research activities using world-renowned simulation software and smart apps.
The lab is used in the teaching process to develop and popularize the curricula in the fields of logistics and production, and for cooperation with enterprises. The lab also functions as a showroom of the newest solutions of the field and as a meeting point for supply chain companies and aficionados.
The lab permits carrying our experiments and testing of logistics, transport, and dispatching systems. The simulation software makes it possible to carry out research and cos-benefit analysis to plan the acquisition, trade, and production flows. The environment is also suitable for process development of start-ups and launch of new ideas.
