A new way to get started with AnyLogic’s Material Handling Library is now available — the MHL Pocket Handbook. At our Planning & Optimizing AGVs and Conveyors webinar with DSE Consulting, June 2020, attendees were introduced to this new interactive tool for learning MHL blocks. Both the pocket handbook and the webinar also provide sneak peeks at some upcoming AnyLogic 8.6 features.

Webinar host Aanand Davé, managing director of DSE Consulting, introduced in-house DSE simulation specialist, Kelvin Yeung, and Jock Richardson, director at agri-tech company Growpura. Together, they demonstrated material handling simulation using AnyLogic and highlighted its use in industry with a model of Growpura’s large-scale hydroponics setup.

Part five of our series on AnyLogic’s Material Handling Library, a library specifically designed to help model the work of factories, warehouses, and other facilities where goods are moved, processed, and sorted.

This blog demonstrates how to connect individual conveyors, and any processing stations on them, into a single conveyor network using the Network Port element.

Watch how to use AnyLogic process simulation software to design multi-level facilities in manufacturing, healthcare, warehouse, and other models. To continue with production process modeling, check out our manufacturing simulation webinar recording.

Learn how to model multi-level environments and how to simulate automated guided vehicles and cranes in this webinar video recording with supporting materials.

Using four example models, our in-house simulation expert and head of training in North America, Dr. Arash Mahdavi, introduces the fundamentals of the AnyLogic Material Handling Library. Understand the possibilities the library presents and see how to get started.

AnyLogic Help has a new tutorial: Lead Acid Battery Production (Material Handling). By following the tutorial, you can learn how to model material handling processes using AnyLogic’s specialized Material Handling Library. The tutorial explains step-by-step how to create a model of a lead-acid battery production line. The model includes path-guided and free-space automatic guided vehicles (AGV), conveyors, and cranes. Check it out!

The AnyLogic 8.4 update comes with several important updates. One of them relates to the Material Handling Library. Now we have a new space markup element - the Crane.

Here, we will teach you how to use these new elements, using the example models: MoveByCrane and Jib Cranes at Press Shop. Let's go!

The material Handling Library is a major part of AnyLogic and this ‘how-to’ explores how to get started with the library. It is the third in a series – the first two beginning with the basic functionality of the library and how to model conveyors and transporters.

In this part we will look at the processes and elements on a solar panel production line. Let's get started!

We have released AnyLogic 8.4, it is already available on our website. This release includes updates from the alpha version, as well as other features and new training models.
