Inhumate Suite

Inhumate Suite contains infrastructure and common tools for concept development, research, training and user testing projects. It lets you reduce development time and risk, and focus on core project activity instead of infrastructure and tooling around it.

Our software is designed from the ground up for simulation-based and other operations, including

The suite was developed to meet the lowest common denominator needs of multiple simulation-based projects and operations, and years of experience.

Tools you might not know you need

Simulation-based operations typically require more functionality than the actual simulators themselves:

  • Networking and co-simulation
  • Runtime and process control
  • Recording, playback and analysis (e.g. data, audio and video)
  • Authoring, monitoring and control for different user groups (e.g. observer, instructor, trainee)
  • Assessment and surveys

These tools, often considered peripheral to the project goals, tend to be overlooked or underestimated.
