VirtECS® software, created by Advanced Process Combinatorics, Inc. (APCI), delivers a range of capabilities built around proprietary core solver technology. VirtECS® is technology for real-world planning & scheduling applications.

Reducing Capital Investment

“Using VirtECS, we were able to debottleneck our largest production facility by identifying a sequence of changes that we never could have evaluated with a spreadsheet model. We reduced the necessary capital investment by $300 million by demonstrating areas where more equipment did not benefit throughput.”

Senior Resource Planning Manager – Biopharma Industry

Big Time Savings

“VirtECS handles all of the ripple effects to the schedule when things change. That is a big time savings in a complicated process with lots of constraints. Not to mention making sure that you don’t miss a constraint!”

Finite Scheduler – Biopharma Industry

Most Powerful Solution

“I have evaluated more than a dozen process modeling software solutions and VirtECS is hands-down the most powerful for end-to-end capacity analysis”

Director of Manufacturing Science & Technology – Leading Pharmaceutical Company

Avoid Unexpected Pitfalls

“A Discovery project with APCI helped us to identify and avoid some pitfalls that we had not anticipated. With the initial process model in place we were able to roll right into a Finite Scheduling implementation”

Product Manager – Chemical Company

An Essential Tool

“I would not want to schedule this plant without VirtECS.”
