The port of Le Havre, France, needed support for construction of new multimodal terminal. The issue that required simulation was supporting containers transfer between rail trains/river barges and other existing terminals, which transferred these containers to and from sea transport.
Amazon developed an approach to transportation network optimization for the customer’s seamless online shopping experience. Discover all the steps, from analyzing yard risks to developing complex traffic flow models to minimize delays and enhance customer satisfaction, especially during peak periods. Study the AnyLogic simulation models that drive Amazon's continuous improvement, saving time and resources.
The Port of Long Beach, California, planned to invest up to $1 billion dollars in its Pier B Yard rail facility. TranSystems, with over 25 years of experience in the transport and supply chain space, worked with the port to quantify system requirements to meet capacity goals and to gain stakeholder consensus. Modeling the rail system of the port was necessary to demonstrate to the stakeholders the required changes.
Lojas Renner S.A., a Brazilian retail company, purposed to change delivery operations. They simulated the last mile operations with AnyLogic and received valuable outputs for planning deliveries to their customers.
Discover how Maestro Pizza, in collaboration with Jaco-Ben Consulting, optimized food delivery and streamlined restaurant employee scheduling in Saudi Arabia. Explore insights on staffing, delivery routes, and the key role of additional drivers for effective food delivery.
CSX is a US railroad company that operates about 21,000 route miles (34,000 km). AnyLogic allows the railroad industry users to simulate line-of-road, terminal, and yard problems. The following three projects, completed by CSX in 2014, covered a variety of tasks that were solved using AnyLogic software.
InterBarge, a first-class waterway operator, affiliated with SCF Marine, a part of Seacor Holding Group, operates freight along the HPP Waterway (Hidrovia Parana Paraguay, located in Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, and Uruguay) on a dedicated contract carriage. The company’s challenge was to use the boat capacity free from dedicated contract commitment as a fleet, maximizing net voyage revenue.
Relatively widespread use of electric vehicles and the need to support them with services and charging infrastructure, prompted General Electric Global Research team to conduct research into the related business demand and new technologies. For the project, the team developed two prototype models: a granular EV adoption model and a charging network simulation.
An Indian consulting company BlueKei Solutions simulated, with AnyLogic software, the deployment in the agricultural field of drones for their client. As a result, the simulation showed a few insights that could avoid the extra investment in drones and better planning of the drone operations.
Cementos Argos is a cement producer in Colombia. Argos intended to optimize scheduling in order to avoid rotation delays or demurrage and use 100% capacity of each vessel. This case study shows how simulation modeling helped to accomplish supply planning up to 84% and vessel capacity utilization up to 99%.
