Who are we? Systemflow began as a simulation services company founded in 1993, and launched a software product development operation in 2000 The company founder worked for a simulation software vendor from 1986-1993 and served as product manager for a new animation software package there Relationship with Rockwell Software Systems Modeling) people goes back to 1986 and extends through many years of mutual involvement in the U.s. simulation community When Systemflow's first material handling 3D animation prototype became ready in 2001, this became an obvious matchup SOFTWARE
