iTAC Software AG: Closed Loop: Simulating, planning and managing the digital factory
24.5.2023 14:48:14 CEST | news aktuell GmbH | Press release
The factory of the future is digital and relies on integrated, rather than isolated, solutions. The software companies DUALIS GmbH IT Solution (www.dualis-it.de) and iTAC Software AG (www.itacsoftware.com) developed a holistic digitalization approach for greater efficiency, flexibility and quality in manufacturing. In the closed loop model, simulation, APS and MES/MOM are closely interlinked and interact with each other. This means, for example, that manufacturing processes can be optimized end-to-end. At the same time, costs and risks can be minimized.
One element of the holistic digitization approach is the digital twin. Using the 3D simulation platform Visual Components, which is supplied by DUALIS, users can create digital twins of their entire production and simulate material and process flows. This allows systems, components, and processes to be tested before they are used in practice, "what-if" scenarios to be run through and errors to be minimized.
Based on these simulation results, a model for realistic production planning can be generated with the GANTTPLAN advanced planning and scheduling system (APS) from DUALIS. The APS carries out planning across departments and takes the entire value chain into account.
At the same time, the data from the digital twin is transferred directly to iTAC Software AG's iTAC.MOM.Suite manufacturing operations management system. This forms the necessary interface between production and IT systems and enables real-time monitoring of production processes. If the MOM knows the current state, the APS can precisely calculate the future.
This marks the closed loop approach: the real data from the MOM and APS system is sent back to the simulation for continuous optimization of the process flows. Changes in key figures and throughputs can then be viewed and evaluated.

Strasbourg, 15 september 2026 Ahead of Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s State of the Union address and debate in Strasbourg on September 16, 2026, the Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament (S&D) call for a change of direction: away from deregulation and towards better living and working conditions for Europeans, tangible social justice, and a stronger, more sovereign Europe. Iratxe García Pérez, president of the S&D Group in the European Parliament, said: “Europe is facing a choice. Not simply between different policies or political parties, but between two very different visions of our future. One vision is built on fear, power without limits, nationalism and the rule of the strongest. The other vision is the Europe we believe in: a Europe that protects its people, defends democracy and international law, fights climate change, guarantees social rights and has the strength to decide its own future.”* A Europe that delivers for its people The S&D Group has deli
