This paper presents a material flow management case study based on our research in modelling, simulation and optimization for a packaging and palletizing system. The studied system allows packaging, palletizing, wrapping and storage of several types of products within a food company. For each type of product to be packaged and stored a material flow system simulation is necessary in order to identify and eliminate the bottlenecks and to obtain an optimized system in terms of productivity. Because the optimization algorithm is the same for different kind of products we will illustrate our research using a single type of product. We will focus the case study on packaging coffee bags in boxes. The boxes are positioned on pallets in order to create a stack that will be wrapped for storage. We used Flexim 7 simulation software for modelling, simulation and optimization of the packaging and palletizing system.

Arena Simulation

Currently Mergan 4-way intersection is one of intersection that have most traffic dense in Malang City, East Java - Indonesia. This research implement simulation method in order to give several solution option to manage the traffic queue in Mergan 4-way intersection. Simulation method is conducted with several phase, from problem identification up to verification and validation also scenario simulation. Arena Simulation software v.14 is chosen as the tool to modeling the traffic queue line. The research outcome give several solution through Traffic Light 2 simulation scenario. With this simulation scenario, the traffic flow system simulation can be run with fewer queues of vehicles.

Abstract Stereotactic neurosurgery requires a careful planning of cannulae paths to spare eloquent areas of the brain that, if damaged, will result in loss of essential neurological function such as sensory processing, linguistic ability, vision, or motor function. We present an approach based on modelling, simulation, and optimization to set up a computational assistant tool. Thereby, we focus on the modeling of the brain topology, where we construct ellipsoidal approximations of voxel clouds based on processed MRI data. The outcome is integrated in a path-planning problem either via constraints or by penalization terms in the objective function. The surgical planning problem with obstacle avoidance is solved for different types of stereotactic cannulae using numerical simulations. We illustrate our method with a case study using real MRI data.

In the view of Chinese traditional twenty-four solar terms, the circulation of various substances in the material flow system of base production and life is systematically analyzed, and on the basis of the existing system problem point, as well as by combining with the concept of the twenty-four solar terms and the system design method, the author reconstructs each subsystem of the base material flow system, moreover, the author eventually connects the subsystems and reconstructs a material flow system conforming to the traditional Chinese solar terms and conforming to the requirements of ecological sustainability.

The paper describes one practical implementation of the Digital Factory concept – design of a new production line using modern planning method of virtual testing and control of processes. The project covered graphical facility design, detailed design of operations and material flow simulation. This case study shows facility process planning, commission and in the end finding the optimization rules and corrective actions to increase existing casting line throughput. All phases of the project were carried out using simulation software, duration of the project was 6 months. Simulation software WITNESS has been used for material flow simulation.

Modelling Simulation

Demand side response (DSR) provides a flexible approach to managing constrained power network assets. This is valuable if future asset utilization is uncertain. However there may be uncertainty over the process of procurement of DSR from customers. In this context we combine probabilistic modelling, simulation and optimization to identify economically optimal procurement policies from heterogeneous customers local to the asset, under chance constraints on the adequacy of the procured DSR. Mathematically this gives rise to a search over permutations, and we provide an illustrative example implementation and case study. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Energy management: flexibility, risk and optimization’.

Logistics, as a scientific discipline, used to be oriented till lately on distribution of finished products from producer site to consumer sector, and this fact has reflected even in modeling and simulation approach. Simulation models of Healthcare Services, and generally services, can be considered as innovative procedures and till lately were not as widely described as for example typical material flow in manufacture. However, base knowledge that inheres in production simulation models can be applied at building of services simulation models.
