Version 0.4
- Multi-Shift & 24-Hour Factory SimulationSimulate entire working days and 5-day operating weeks with realistic shift schedules, washdown windows, and break timelines.
- Rolling Break Waves vs. Relief Crew ModellingCompare the cost and throughput impact of staggered chain cleardown breaks against dedicated relief floater crews.
- Carcass Chillers & Maturation QueuesModel holding chiller bay sequential filling and 24-hour deep bone chill maturation gating before boning room infeed.
- Machinery & Storage Drag PaletteEasily add new slicing tables, splitting saws, holding chillers, Cryovac vacuum sealers, and gravity chutes onto the factory floor.
- Interactive Port-to-Port Wiring & Split SortersDraw flow connections directly between machine ports and configure multi-branch percentage diverter splits.
- Multi-Species Processing MixAccurately simulate throughput variations across heavy export steers, domestic heifers, prime lambs, heavy rams with wool inspection penalties, and bobby calves.
- Conveyor Accumulation PhysicsModel conveyor length, speed, and unit pitch buffers to see how backpressure propagates when machines pause.
Version 0.3

- Labour & Skill Matrix AdministrationManage knife-work competency levels, operator personnel records, and active shift staffing rosters.
- Scenario & Preset LibraryManage, edit, and launch saved simulation scenarios with custom line infeed targets and machine parameters.
- User & RBAC AdministrationUser accounts and capability-based access control management directly in the UI.
- Interactive Domain Explainer BannersEvery management screen features educational context banners explaining how that domain entity models the factory flow.
Version 0.2
- Interactive 2D Factory CanvasVisualise factory floors, processing lines, workstations, and multi-level conveyors across Ground and Mezzanine elevations.
- Discrete Flow Simulation & Bottleneck DetectionReal-time simulation calculates line throughput, queue accumulations, and highlights bottleneck and starved stations.
- Knobs & Dials Control DrawerAdjust master line infeed speeds, tune operator skill multipliers, adjust station manning levels, and simulate machine breakdowns on the fly.
- What-If Scenario PersistenceSave and load custom staffing and pace trial scenarios directly from the interface.
Version 0.1
- Welcome to Digital TwinOur brand new production modelling platform is up and running! Digital Twin will model Midfield's production lines so we can understand how every position on a line impacts the lines around it.
- Foundations LaidBehind the scenes we've built the platform on the same proven, secure foundations as our other internal tools — sign-in, user management, and organisation switching all work exactly the way you're used to.
- What's Coming NextProduction line mapping, labour and skill simulation sliders, bottleneck detection, production planning, and predictive maintenance are all on the roadmap. Stay tuned!
