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.

Clean energy needs a clean planet: PLAN-B NET ZERO and everwave launch joint initiative20.2.2026 13:26:02 CET | Press release
(Berlin, Germany) A strong start to 2026. PLAN-B NET ZERO enters into a partnership with the Aachen-based environmental scale-up everwave. With the guiding principle ‘1 euro = 1 kilogram of waste’, the partners recovered 10,000 kilograms of waste from rivers in Cambodia at the start of the initiative Around 11 million tonnes of plastic waste enter the oceans every year. Without effective countermeasures, this volume could almost triple by 2040. Studies show that about 80 percent of marine plastic reaches the sea via roughly 1,656 rivers worldwide. To date, everwave has removed more than 2.4 million kilograms of plastic from rivers in Cambodia, Albania, and Thailand. The company uses waste collection boats, barriers, and manual cleanups to stop plastic before it reaches the oceans. At the same time, mobile sorting and recycling solutions return materials efficiently to the circular economy. AI support optimizes collection routes to clean as many waterways as possible in a sustainable wa
Grünenthal’s proprietary NaV 1.8 inhibitor enters clinical development18.2.2026 11:52:51 CET | Press release
Aachen, Germany, 18 February 2026 – Grünenthal announced today that the first healthy volunteers have been enrolled in a Phase I trial of its voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV) 1.8 inhibitor. The orally administered investigational medicine aims to provide a non-opioid therapy option across a range of acute and chronic pain conditions. Full results of the trial are expected in the second half of 2026.

FEV analysis: TCO cut by up to 33 percent through range extender trucks11.2.2026 12:40:51 CET | Press release
Aachen – FEV has published new analysis results on the economic efficiency of electrified commercial vehicles as part of an internal research program. The evaluation of extensive techno-economic data shows: depending on the driving cycle, through trucks with range extender architecture (REEV/Hybrid BEV) the total cost of ownership (TCO) can be reduced by up to 33 percent compared to conventional diesel trucks – while also significantly reducing CO₂ emissions. Even in the most unfavorable long-haul scenario, the TCO declined by approximately 14 percent.
