In 2023, we released a series of insightful and engaging blog posts. It’s now time to look back and share the top 5 that caught your attention the most.
From stimulating industry analysis to practical tips and success stories, these posts have shown how valuable a tool AnyLogic is in all aspects of business and industry.
Now let’s relive the best of our blog content from last year.
5. AnyLogic 8.8.4: genetic optimization and pedestrian elevators
This post introduced a major update to AnyLogic, which included a built-in genetic optimization engine and elevators in the Pedestrian Library.
One of the biggest benefits of this new genetic optimization is that it has no limitations on variables and iterations, and importantly, it is available at no extra cost.
Pedestrian elevators have been one of the most requested features over the years, and this is now available in AnyLogic as a basic element. In the blog post, read about how to set this up and take a look at some models that will help you out in this regard.
4. Using simulation to create the optimal warehouse layout
Warehouses are and have always been an important part of business. This blog post introduces different layouts to consider when designing a warehouse and the advantages of a well-planned layout.
You can then continue reading about how AnyLogic was used in numerous case studies to help deliver creative and effective warehouse layout options, including from DHL and others.
3. Simulation-based digital twins for business: industry-related case studies
A digital twin is a virtual model of a physical object created with real-time data. There are two types of digital twins, which we have identified in this blog post: observer and virtual.
The observer digital twins are the most useful, as they are the ones that can be used when developing simulation models. Take a look at how such companies as Siemens, CNH Industrial, and others have used digital twins in many different ways to achieve and further their goals.
2. A beginner’s guide to AnyLogic model errors
