Emergency evacuation planning for mass gatherings is essential public safety and security work for authorities and can help save lives. Imran Mahmood and Muhammad Haris of the National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan, and Hessam Sarjoughian of Arizona State University, USA, have used an AnyLogic based crowd simulation and analysis framework to analyze emergency evacuation strategies for one of the world’s greatest mass gatherings: Hajj.

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 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.

In this blog post, we take a look inside an AnyLogic air maintenance model and reveal how it works. The aim is to improve your skills in the development and analysis of models, to teach AnyLogic's advanced capabilities, and also to show how simulation modeling is applied in different areas of business.

Using the Airlines Fleet model as an example, we will look at how agent-based modeling helps to analyze and plan maintenance.

'AnyLogic has released a fairly major release, though hidden in a minor release number. Why do I consider this a “major” release?'

Amy Greer of MOSIMTEC began an interesting thread in our LinkedIn group, detailing some of the useful changes beyond the headline updates in AnyLogic 8.3. We thought it was useful insight for people who model with AnyLogic and asked if she would blog about it. Here it is...

YPF is the largest oil producer in Argentina. It has 43% of the oil and gas production market and 58% of the gasoline market in the country. They hired consultants from Continente Siete to develop a decision support system (DSS) for determining work schedules.

The new maintenance planning system helped YPF save $18 million annually at the pilot implementation site. Forecasts suggest, the integration of the DSS with the work processes of other sites should save the company another $234 million per year.

Many interesting talks were given at the AnyLogic Conference, here they are, captured on video. Topics include: Industry 4.0, artificial intelligence, and digital twins, to name just a few. There is also a detailed introduction to the new Material Handling Library and best practices for Beginner, Advanced, and ‘Crack’ AnyLogic users.

These videos illustrate how AnyLogic simulation software is being applied across multiple industries to solve real-world problems and deliver the latest advances most effectively.

Industry 4.0 was the subject of Yuri Toluyev’s plenary presentation at the IMMOD simulation modeling conference in Saint Petersburg. He described how new approaches to enterprise development, united by the concept of Industry 4.0, are driving technological development.

AnyLogic attended the event and interviewed Toluyev about Industry 4.0, its development, and its implementation. Interesting and informative, read on for Yuri Toluyev’s Industry 4.0 insight...

Drones, are developing rapidly; their capabilities are increasing and the costs reducing. Their increased use will lift the UK GDP by 2% according to a PwC report. Certainly, they hold great promise, reducing delivery times and cost, as Amazon is exploring, and even have the potential to revolutionize commuting — EHang’s Air Taxi or Uber’s Elevate.

Mosimtec is supporting drone/UAV network deployment through simulation. By exploring operational constraints in a virtual environment, it is possible to evaluate variables such as scheduling, maintenance, fleet size, and charging times. Review and video...

AnyLogic Cloud — the web service for hosting simulations online — has been updated. Professional and private tiers introduce advanced computing capabilities for high-speed simulation modeling.

These new services enable the analysis of the most demanding models and the resolution of complex business problems. Let’s take a closer look at how to accelerate your simulation modeling and harness the power of on-demand large-scale cloud computing.

AnyLogic 8.3 is here! Downloads for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

The new version of AnyLogic is now available for download. AnyLogic 8.3 introduces the Material Handling Library, new demo models, performance updates, and an improved graphical interface. The update applies to both the commercial version and the free Personal Learning Edition (PLE).

Here is a summary of the update...
