Save time, save money and mitigate risk by utilizing effective, data-driven solutions to make evidence-based decisions.
Advances in technology allow manufacturers to see into the future. Clients can determine the impacts of a new packaging line on overall output, train operations staff on new equipment before it’s installed, or find ways within existing systems to improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) – all without interrupting current production or making a significant investment in an unproven solution.
Our solutions keep project owners ahead of problems.
Haskell’s System Analytics team addresses the needs of all end-to-end movement from receiving raw materials to the moment the final product leaves the facility. Through a collection of innovative solutions that range from creating virtual simulations of current facilities to performing a data-driven assessment of an entire production system, our ability to implement cutting-edge technology helps our clients make the decisions that are right for them.

Bring an entire manufacturing facility to life virtually with Digital Twin technology.
By replicating your facility in a Digital Twin, you can explore the possibilities of a new facility or an expansion in a controlled, cost-efficient environment. Our System Analytics team can create customized virtual models to meet your specific needs. From high-level flow models to highly detailed line-control models, simulations and emulations are your “sandbox” for exploring what-if scenarios and refining your design for the best results.
Capacity Optimization: Right-size your system and compare concepts before detailed design even starts.
These days, manufacturing systems are increasingly complex processes, and there are many different opinions about the right way to design and operate them. Using a simulation to compare multiple design concepts can ensure that you focus your design efforts and make the most of each piece of equipment. Haskell’s System Analytics team can help you quickly quantify the impact of strategic choices, whether adding small-scale automation or laying out a massive distribution center.
Design Optimization: Take the guesswork out of detailed design decisions.
Whether you are planning to build a new facility or upgrade an existing manufacturing system, it can be difficult to anticipate the dynamic system behavior in every production scenario. Will increasing the speed of a critical production step translate to increased throughput? Where should line control devices be placed on the line? What are the safest, most efficient flow paths for vehicle and pedestrian traffic through your facility? With simulation tools, you can stop relying on rules of thumb and intuition and be confident that your design decisions are based on real data. Utilizing this data, you can optimize your design from the start, saving time and money.
Virtual Commissioning: Avoid expensive production interruptions with an emulation of your controls systems.
Lost production during start-up can significantly affect your bottom line. Our emulation services allow us to optimize your controls systems (PLCs and HMIs) using our 3D modeling tools without disrupting production. Testing and fine-tuning program changes in a controlled, virtual environment before implementing them in the field provides certainty of outcome and minimizes costly on-site time. This also gives your production team a chance to learn the new system in advance and explore different operational scenarios.
Invest at the right time and in the right areas, saving millions while positioning your facility for growth.
When it is time to increase your production capacity, our System Analytics team can help you grow intelligently. We have the tools to identify what the true capacity of your operation is and to help you identify where to invest to maximize the growth opportunities of your future systems.
System Capacity Analysis: Understand the true constraints of your production assets.
Every manufacturing system includes complex interactions between process and packaging equipment, warehouse and storage space, utility systems, and operations resources. Our capacity analysis tools look at all aspects of your operations, as well as demand and scheduling requirements, to understand the true capacity of each area. By applying this model to your growth forecasts, we help you see into the future and plan the right investments to avoid any disruptions to your business. With OPEX ROI analysis, we help you have confidence that those investments are justified before you go all-in on that new expansion and new equipment. Our team has helped clients save millions on assets that don’t justify the cost and has identified more profitable areas to redirect their planned spending for a better return.
CAPEX & OPEX ROI Analysis: Justify the right capital investments for your manufacturing plant.
Growth is great, but growth can be expensive. With our master planning tools and ROI analysis, you can have confidence that large expenditures are justified before you go all-in on that new expansion and new equipment. Our team has helped clients save millions on assets that don’t justify the cost and has identified more profitable areas to redirect their planned spending for a better return.
Warehouse Capacity Analysis: Ensure the most effective use of storage space.
Effective supply chains and manufacturing operations depend on critical storage space, but warehouses can be expensive to lease and maintain. Through in-depth data analysis, our team will help you right-size your warehouse to fit your operations. From humidity-controlled to freezer storage, our tools identify your exact warehouse needs and provide areas where you can reduce costs, such as standard racking and special storage requirements.
Material Flow Analysis: Identify potential pinch points and maximize your production flow.
Manufacturing operations have many moving parts. Between forklift drivers, hand trucks, employee foot traffic, and dock door occupancy, it is critical that people and materials move efficiently through your facility. By optimizing your layout, labor, and storage, you can connect areas to improve flow. Through data analysis and dynamic modeling tools, we can analyze space utilization, dock door requirements, forklift traffic patterns, and more to create a material flow that operates safely and efficiently.
We help to analyze the output data of your manufacturing facility to determine the most cost-effective capital investments.
Comprehensive reviews of equipment, controls, and operations to identify both quick wins and long-term opportunities.
Are you looking for ways to improve the operations of your facility but don’t know where to start? Our System Analytics Team can perform a comprehensive system assessment that considers equipment effectiveness, operating procedures, system controls, site safety and every aspect of your operations to identify opportunities ranging from quick wins to long-term system upgrades.
Our comprehensive approach includes a combination of direct system observations, stakeholder interviews, and a detailed analysis of your production data – whether it’s exported from your MES system or collected on site. We provide an independent, unbiased analysis of your existing systems and deliver detailed, actionable next steps.
