SepSimulation models are stochastic in nature, which means that every time you run a simulation model you will get different results, if you use different seeds. In order to communicate these varied results to the stakeholders, you need to use a statistical tool called confidence intervals. In simple terms, this tool will tell you how confident you […]

JulAutomated storage processes with automated stacker cranes are commonly used in warehouses and factories management by enhancing efficiency and accuracy. These systems streamline the storage and retrieval of goods, reducing human error and operational costs. Automated stacker cranes maximize space utilization by accessing high and deep storage areas that are difficult for manual operations. This custom library[…]

JunThis tool allows the AnyLogic user to construct a set of sorting conveyor networks automatically by using datapoints defined in an Excel configuration file. This approach offers flexibility, allowing for effortless modifications and additions of various components such and loop conveyors, transfer tables, spurs, and more. Additionally, this tool allows you to connect through a TCP/IP protocol[…]

JunAnyLogic has a native elevator object that works for pedestrians, but only for pedestrians. Since it’s often that in models you have normal agents and resources that also need to use elevators, the pedestrian elevator was not enough. Additionally, it’s often the case that elevators work in groups as the move around to pick up requests from[…]

MayHave you ever wondered why competing physical stores locate themselves close to each other as a cluster? Since we live in the AnyLogic world, we will use simulations and artificial intelligence to analyze this mystery, but this question is a classical Game Theory problem, so let’s start by discussing this from a game theory perspective that will[…]

JanPlacing a Camera on an Agent The Importance of 3D Animations We all know what 3D animation is, but little is said about how useful it is for the modeler and the stakeholders. An animation can act as a tool for the modeler to correct errors during the development phase, giving access to things that are not[…]

MayI was recently asked if System Dynamics (SD) is dead. And this is in fact an interesting question. In the industry, the use of discrete-events (DE) and agent-based (AB) models vastly surpasses the contribution of SD. And SD seems to be in an eternal struggle to get more popular and it doesn’t seem get enough traction, at[…]
