Simulate First. Invest with Confidence.
Test changes to capacity, layout, product mix, and disruptions on your digital twin – before they cost real money.

Why Gut-Feel Decisions Cost Millions
Traditional planning methods can't keep up with production complexity.
Expensive Trial & Error
Testing changes on real production lines is costly and risky. A single wrong investment decision can waste millions.
Slow Decision Cycles
Without simulation, capacity analyses take weeks of manual work — by then the market opportunity has already passed.
Hidden Bottlenecks
Complex production systems have interdependencies that spreadsheets can't model. Bottlenecks remain invisible until they hit throughput.
A Digital Twin for Production Decisions
Polaris creates a digital twin of your production system — so you can test every scenario, validate every investment, and optimize every resource before committing.
How It Works
From digital twin to validated decision in three steps.
Build Your Digital Twin
Model your production system with machines, workers, buffers, and material flows. Import data or build from scratch with drag & drop.
Run Simulations
Execute what-if scenarios: change shifts, add machines, adjust product mix, or simulate disruptions. See results in seconds.
Make Data-Driven Decisions
Compare scenarios side by side with clear KPIs. Present simulation evidence to stakeholders instead of gut feeling.
Powerful Simulation Capabilities
From what-if scenarios to resource optimization — everything in one platform.
What-If Scenarios in Minutes
Run unlimited scenarios on your digital production twin. Test new products, layout changes, shift models, or disruptions – and see the impact before you act.
- Unlimited scenario variants
- Event-driven discrete simulation
- Product mix and volume analysis
- Disruption and downtime modeling
Optimize Resources & Capacity
Identify underutilized machines, overloaded workstations, and capacity constraints. Visualize resource utilization over time and optimize shift planning.
- Machine and worker utilization heatmaps
- Shift and overtime optimization
- Buffer and inventory level analysis
- Investment ROI validation
Data-Driven Investment Decisions
Compare scenarios side by side with clear KPI dashboards. Present simulation results to stakeholders with visual evidence instead of gut feeling.
- Side-by-side scenario comparison
- Visual Gantt and timeline outputs
- Automated reporting for decision-makers
- Export to PowerPoint and PDF
Proven Business Impact
Companies using Polaris Simulation see measurable ROI.
Investment Cost Savings
Avoid unnecessary capital expenditure by validating investments in the digital twin before committing real budget.
Faster Decision Making
Run and compare scenarios in minutes instead of weeks of manual capacity analysis.
Bottleneck Detection Rate
Identify and resolve production bottlenecks before they impact throughput and delivery performance.
Built for Your Simulation Use Case
Capacity Planning
Validate new investments, machine purchases, and layout changes before committing budget — with simulation evidence.
Production Optimization
Optimize shift models, buffer sizes, and resource allocation by simulating hundreds of scenarios automatically.
Risk Analysis
Simulate disruptions, demand changes, and supply chain issues to build robust production strategies.
Trusted by Leading Manufacturers
Global companies use Polaris to simulate and optimize their production.
Intelligent Production Planning Simulation
"The Polaris simulation helped us identify problems in our planning data. It showed that the previously planned product mix at the site would not be achievable in this form. This makes it an important instrument for strategic planning. The visualizations of the simulation results are a useful tool in discussions with decision-makers."
Alexander Cordes
Strategic Planning Lead
Streamlining Operations with Material Flow Simulation at Silhouette
"The use of Polaris IMS was the next step towards the Smart Factory for our organization. It's not just about making processes more efficient; It's about planning our future business in advance. With Polaris IMS it's possible to digitally capture our operation model, allowing us to simulate multiple scenarios and take lens production to the next technological level."
