From our latest webinar learn about what custom libraries are and how they can be used in conjunction with enterprise simulation to improve the delivery of future projects.

The Christmas holidays are rapidly approaching and it’s time for the traditional sales. Besides this shopping rush and high sales, retailers also face problems caused by the growing volume of orders, deliveries, and returns. Simulation modeling can help retailers cope with these emerging difficulties.

Accenture partnered with San Francisco based AI company Pathmind to investigate the potential of new reinforcement learning (RL) opportunities in simulation.

The results obtained were extremely good. The method produced a waiting time more than 4x shorter than the Nearest Agent heuristic.

In this blog post, Agustin Albinati summarizes the model, introduces the three key considerations when defining the neural net, and presents the results of his team's investigations. Linked at the end of the blog post is a step by step how-to with Pathmind. Read on!

Learn how to create a self-configuring material handling digital twin from this webinar recording with accompanying simulation model. Presented by Dr. Benjamin Schumann in three chapters, the webinar covers how to automatically configure machines and products, conveyors, and automatic guided vehicles (AGV).

The relationship between simulation and artificial intelligence is increasingly close, especially for deep reinforcement learning. The AnyLogic Company CEO, Dr. Andrei Borshchev, explores this trend in Using Simulation to Train and Test Artificial Intelligence for Business Applications, a presentation given at the GE EDGE & Controls Symposium 2019 in Niskayuna, NY.

Here is a brief summary of the video recording with links. Check it out and see how AI and simulation are developing together...

Digital twin technology is developing rapidly, and over the next five years it will have a significant impact on industry, especially in helping drive cost savings. Reflecting this, Gartner has placed Digital Twins on its Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends 2019.

This blog introduces An Introduction to Digital Twin Development, a white paper about the benefits of digital twins and how to realize them successfully. Read on and get the free download.

Digital twins are part of Industry 4.0. How are they being used on automobile production lines? Here we investigate how a digital twin is made and used in the automotive industry.

One of the world’s largest capital goods companies, CNHi, wanted to evaluate Industry 4.0 technologies. It chose its IVECO production plant in Suzzara, Italy. Fair Dynamics were contracted and proposed a digital twin. Read on and discover how maintenance costs can be reduced with a digital twin — Production line downtime was shown in a study of over 100 automotive executives to cost an average of $22,000 per minute.

London, May 25 – Digital twins at work. Simulation modeling experts, from multiple industrial disciplines, joined dseConsulting, HSSMi, and AnyLogic for an insightful event, rich with innovation. Here are the highlights and downloads.

A data hack also gave attendees the chance to use AI and simulation with AnyLogic simulation software.

Simulation modeling is proving invaluable to bringing the latest developments of Industry 4.0 into practical use and the event in London was a great example of this. Read the highlights and download the presentations…
