For nearly 24 hours, across multiple time zones, presenters from all around the world thrilled more than 1,000 people from over 80 countries with tales of modeling and simulation at the AnyLogic Conference 2022.

Production scheduling is the process of maximizing the efficiency of production through the detailed planning of manufacturing operations in the short-term. In this blog post, we will illustrate how exactly this has been done using real-world examples from different industries.

Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and controlling risks for a business. These risks could stem from a wide variety of sources and if an unforeseen event blindsides your business, it could sustain a financial loss. Simulation is a tool that helps identify potential risks and find ways to make your business resilient.

The AnyLogic Conference will cover software applications across multiple industries. Domino’s Pizza, Netherland Railways, PwC, Komatsu, GHD, and many more companies will share their simulation experience. Check out the program and register now!

Connecting the tactical and operational activities of a company to an enterprise resource planning system, such as SAP, can be critical for success. Here, in this blog post, one steel manufacturer did this successfully.

Automated guided vehicles are widely used in manufacturing and warehousing to move items around. A simple example model combines various AnyLogic libraries and modeling approaches to simulate the AGV charging process. Read through and don’t forget to open the model in AnyLogic software to follow along with the example.

AnyLogic 8.8.0 is now available for download. It comes with Java 11, which allows for easier and more concise coding, and improvements to the AnyLogic built-in libraries.

There is a significant and growing wealth gap in almost every country throughout the world. There are many reasons for this growing inequality amongst the population, but can a combination of simulation and luck play a part in identifying how to stop this trend or even reverse it?

Managing under uncertainty is not easy, especially when you’re facing new realities that have never been experienced before. How can you do proper forecasting for your business without relevant historical data? Simulation is the tool to help you with that.

Simulation is a powerful tool that helps plan hospital design and consider its capacity and resource utilization. Testing changes in a simulation rather than in real life leads to efficient and effective solutions based on the analysis of test results. The technology was frequently and successfully used during COVID-19 for evaluating disease spread and mass vaccination. Read how simulation is used to tackle healthcare-related challenges.
