Reducing Workplace Injuries Through Motion Sensors

Dr. Jimenez and his team are conducting research to create a Digital Twin for the Operator 4.0 for Industry 4.0 applications.

Simulation Modeling and Analysis of Semiconductor Manufacturing

Efficient and accurate simulations help to design wafer fabrication facilities and their supply chains.

Digital Twins Improve Health, Safety, and Productivity of Workers

The digital twins for human operators will help design jobs that require higher operator pace as well as better occupational safety and ergonomics.

Experts in Simulation Modeling and Data-Intensive Analytics. New focus on Digital Twins for Industry 4.0 applications!

The Center for High Performance Systems (CHiPS) has expertise in simulation modeling and data-intensive analytics targeting the manufacturing industry, as well as distribution centers and supply chain systems. CHiPS has also incorporated motion capture and sensor technologies to conduct research in digital twins to enhance human performance within Industry 4.0 applications.

We use advanced computer simulation software featuring 3D animation, including AnyLogic, AutoMod and Simio! We also have cutting-edge motion capture technology to develop digital twin models of human operators!
