As one of the largest steel manufacturers and suppliers in the world, Tata Steel faced the need to optimize the internal logistics of one of its steel manufacturing units. The company saw potential for increasing the unit’s overall throughput using AnyLogic as production optimization software.

Imagine that you need to create a computer program. To do this, you have to hire developers, designers and testers, organize processes, draw up a development plan, constantly evaluate the performance of colleagues, and so on. The task quickly becomes complex. What are your chances of success if you are not a professional?
Here, the downloadable book chapter explores how to use simulation in project management. It gives practical examples from a logistics service provider and a construction company to support its ideas and the demo models from the chapter are open access, so that you can download them, disassemble, and consolidate your knowledge in practice.
Here is our webinar recording and accompanying resources that introduce the key concepts and workflow for using Project Bonsai and AnyLogic simulation together.
The webinar follows AnyLogic and Microsoft joining forces to bring deep reinforcement learning and machine teaching to business applications. Watch the video and try out the example models.
One of the key methods for gaining insight into the unknowns of the COVID-19 pandemic is to use simulation modeling. This is true for many disciplines across business and research, as reflected in the collection of public models being uploaded to AnyLogic Cloud. Here we gather a variety of COVID-19 related simulation models.

A new chapter is now online and available for download.
The 'Big Book of Simulation Modeling, Multimethod Modeling with AnyLogic 8', is one of the key resources for both beginners and professionals in simulation modeling. It contains various examples and detailed explanation of the three major methods in simulation modeling: agent-based, system dynamics, and discrete-event.
The new chapter dives deep into the AnyLogic Rail Library, its components, and opportunities for model builders.
A new way to get started with AnyLogic’s Material Handling Library is now available — the MHL Pocket Handbook. At our Planning & Optimizing AGVs and Conveyors webinar with DSE Consulting, June 2020, attendees were introduced to this new interactive tool for learning MHL blocks. Both the pocket handbook and the webinar also provide sneak peeks at some upcoming AnyLogic 8.6 features.
Webinar host Aanand Davé, managing director of DSE Consulting, introduced in-house DSE simulation specialist, Kelvin Yeung, and Jock Richardson, director at agri-tech company Growpura. Together, they demonstrated material handling simulation using AnyLogic and highlighted its use in industry with a model of Growpura’s large-scale hydroponics setup.

Why is it so hard to model the COVID-19 epidemic? In this guest blog Ignacio Brottier and Patricio Pipp look at how agent-based simulation modeling goes beyond traditional SEIR and its shortfalls.
The first step to understanding any system is asking ourselves what it is we are trying to understand and, as the team of FiveThirtyEight well explains in their very recommended article, understanding COVID-19’s evolution is no easy task...
