Modeling and Simulation Workshop 2 - Simio and AnyLogic

Title: Using Simio's Data-Driven Data-Generated Approach to Develop, Maintain, and Operate Process Digital Twins

Abstract: This presentation explores Simio’s data-driven, data-generated approach to developing, maintaining, and applying process digital twins. While digital twins are widely used in manufacturing, they are equally valuable in other process-driven environments such as warehousing, healthcare operations, and service systems. We share technical insights and practical examples highlighting Simio’s modeling methodologies and tools for digital twin implementation. Key topics include custom objects, data integration through connectors, Simio Processes, and scripting support. Additionally, we introduce Simio University, a training platform that supports users in learning Simio modeling and development.

Abstract: A workshop from the vendor of AnyLogic – an agnostic multi-method simulation software with the largest worldwide user community. Based on AnyLogic usage statistics, we will show which modeling methods, techniques, and languages are most used today by the industry. This includes DES (process flowcharts), Agent-based modeling, Statecharts, System Dynamics, GIS-based modeling, and others. We will also talk about the recent (and very positive) shift from the project-based usage of simulation to operational use and, therefore, longer lifecycles of models (digital twinning, etc.); we will present some use cases and go through the new requirements to simulations. Finally, we will touch the current relationship of Simulation and AI: what worked, what did not work, and what to expect.

Presenters: Dr. Andrei Borshchev and Ilya Grigoriev, The AnyLogic Company
