Online Optimization

In 2000 SimTech installed the first on-line optimization system based on IPSEpro within a Plant Operator facility. This was the first step towards extending the focus of IPSEpro to the entire lifecycle of plants. In the following years SimTech has expanded its activities to on-line monitoring, data validation, economic plant analysis and optimization solutions based on IPSEpro.

1996

Release of IPSEpro

In 1996 SimTech introduced a much more flexible software solution in the market: the modeling package IPSEpro. Unlike traditional heat balance systems, IPSEpro is a completely open modeling environment that allows you to define your own component models. In 1997 IPSE was merged with IPSEpro, making IPSEpro SimTech’s key process simulation product.

1992

First Comerical Release

In 1992 SimTech started its commercial release of the heat balance code IPSE. IPSE made it possible to create process models graphically by choosing components from a menu. IPSE was the first and for several years the only Microsoft Windows based heat balance code commercially available.
