We outline a modelling approach aimed to capture sophisticated interdependencies of discrete and continuous behaviors in hybrid systems. The approach is essentially a hybrid extension of widely recognized object-oriented languages UML and UML-RT. It is fully supported by a new simulation tool AnyLogic 4.0 from Experimental Object Technologies.

Study a review of an academic paper on intralogistics optimization for a high-mix, low-volume production line. See why multimethod modeling is ideal for Industry 4.0 and which fleet configurations maximize utilization in both single-product and mixed-product scenarios.
This paper focuses on warehouse order picking optimization. It introduces a neural network-based metamodel trained on AnyLogic simulation data to predict the order fulfillment time in automated multi-level shuttle warehouses.
As public transportation grows in popularity, congestion in multi-line subway hubs has become a major concern. This study presents a simulation model utilizing AnyLogic software to evaluate the performance of a subway transfer station in New York City by addressing challenges of inefficient passenger flow management. Leveraging the NYC turnstile usage data, the simulation incorporates passenger flow modeling to analyze movement patterns, identify bottlenecks, and evaluate potential solutions.
Explore how a training facility at Auburn University is teaching students and professionals lean manufacturing by assembling LEGO® cars. Through a multi-phase plan, the facility is evolving into a hub for digital manufacturing and Industry 4.0 technologies, with a focus on small and medium manufacturers (SMMs).
