The launch of passenger trains on Moscow Ring Railway is expected to improve the road traffic situation and congestion on public transportation of the city. Many of the newly built stations will be connected to subway and commuter rails by huge transfer hubs. Passenger flows, at one of the future hubs, were simulated using AnyLogic software by the ITS Consulting Company for JSC Moscow Ring Railway.
DHL Supply Chain was going to install a box sortation system for a new facility. To automate the sorting process effectively, they simulated it with AnyLogic and received the results of different scenarios for use in future operations.
The construction industry has a challenge to build more energy-efficient, low-carbon and affordable products. In order to do that, new technologies must be implemented, in particular using off-site construction. Here, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, working with the US Department of Energy created a simulation model to try to understand if off-site construction could lead to the desired production outcomes.
Building and interpreting simulation models can be difficult, especially for businesspeople, so AIG designed and created a model template in order to capture information required for modeling. These templates could then easily be customized for business domain experts in various sectors that require repeated processes.
In CIS regions, passenger railway traffic is a highly specific field. Suburban railway routes are often cut due to their unprofitability. This may have a negative impact, not only on the passengers, but also on the social and economic conditions in the regions. The Russian Central Federal District authorities faced the rail routes reduction problem. They decided to launch alternative bus routes simultaneously with the cancellation of the railway routes in order to reduce adverse impacts.
Manufacturing companies face many challenges in the world today including globalization and changes in consumer demand. To overcome these obstacles, companies can either keep extra capacity or engage in resource sharing in order to utilize their resources in a more productive way.
KSE Group designs and optimizes pet food production lines for their clients’ factories. The complexity of container movement, varying dosing times, and potential bottlenecks makes manual manufacturing optimization impractical. Using an agent-based simulation approach in AnyLogic, KSE optimized throughput and improved decision-making before factory implementation. As a result, factory design timelines were reduced from weeks to hours, and inefficiencies were spotted early to cut costs.
In 2012, a railway operator decided to create a strategic railway network to embrace the need to increase the scale and volume of cargo traffic. This network was comprised of three railway ports and six transport and logistics terminals. The network was aimed at enhancing the efficiency of cargo transportation. The first stage of launch would increase cargo traffic by 100-120 million tons per year.
