In brief

Hawk has filed a patent application for computer-assisted planning, simulation and control of resources in production and logistics systems. Its status is patent pending. The application forms part of a European and international IP strategy.

Production and logistics systems change continuously. Orders move, capacities change and resources need to be rescheduled. Simulations can help explore possible processes before they are put into practice.

Considering planning and simulation together

Planning defines how available resources should be used. Simulation makes it possible to explore potential processes and the consequences of different assumptions. Together, they can provide a basis for assessing planning decisions and adapting them when circumstances change.

What the patent application concerns

On 22 July 2025, Hawk filed a patent application for computer-assisted planning, simulation and control of resources in production and logistics systems. This accompanies our development work on connecting planning and simulation with our own IP strategy.

Patent pending and an international direction

The application process is ongoing. Its status is patent pending; a patent has not yet been granted. Our IP strategy includes a European and international direction.
