The Simio team is thrilled to announce that our annual Simio Sync user conference will be held virtually on Wednesday, March 6, 2024. We’re assembling an incredible lineup of users from a wide range of industries to share their Simio experiences with you. With three months until show time, presenters are busy working on their content so we’ll have more details for you in January, but here’s a quick snapshot of some of the topics – Adaptive Process Digital Twins, Coupling Simulation with AI/Optimization, Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning, Long Term Planning, Predicting Supply Chain Performance, Multi-site Operational Scheduling, Long Term Plant Maintenance, and Facility Planning & Optimization.

Do you have experience with Simio that you would like to share with other users? If you’re interested, Simio Sync isn’t the only opportunity for sharing your experience with the Simio ecosystem. In addition to Simio Sync, here are some of the other venues – Simio Solution Series, Simio Blog, Cases Studies, Testimonials, Academic Speaking/Collaboration, and Industry Organizations like IISE. If you’re interested in learning more about sharing your Simio experience, please reach out to your Simio contact. If you aren’t sure who that is, commercial users please send an email to sales@simio.com or academic@simio.com if you’re an academic user.

Learn more about Simio & DDMRP

White Paper: “Demand Driven Material Requirements

Planning (DDMRP) & Simio Adaptive Process Digital Twins”

Together with DDI (Demand Driven Institute), Simio has co-authored an in-depth whitepaper that covers how Simio’s Digital Twin technology supports and continues to innovate within the guiding principles of DDMRP. This paper is an excellent resource for anyone looking to learn more about DDMRP itself, and to better understand how Simio’s features can help any organization implement DDMRP.

Simio Student Case Study

Coming Soon: Simio’s Next Academic Case Study

Just in time for the spring semester, Simio’s Academic team is preparing its next Academic Case Study for release. All materials will be available on December 15, 2023 online. The new Case Study, titled ‘Simio Fresh Mex,’ involves the development of models for analyzing a made-to-order Mexican food restaurant, and it involves analyzing provided historical data, developing one or more Simio models of the restaurant operation, and using the model(s) to help determine the staffing, task allocation, and task prioritization throughout the day to meet the store’s customer service and resource cost goals.

Materials will be released at the link below on December 15, 2023.

Are you a Flow Library user?

We need your feedback!

If you aren’t familiar, Simio Flow Library is a set of 10 pre-built objects within Simio that can be used to model flow processing systems. These may be continuous or semi-continuous processes that involve tanks, pipes, movable fluid containers, valves, flow rates, etc. Flow may also be integrated with Standard Library (discrete) modeling using the FlowToItemConverter, or ItemToFlowConverter objects.

Simio needs your help! We would like to hear your thoughts about Flow. Understanding your experiences and needs on this topic will help us improve your Simio experience. Our product planning, technical support, and user training teams are standing by to hear what you have to say!

Tips & Tricks from the Simio Team

 
When using Objects that don’t have the option to Log Resource Usage, a parallel resource can be helpful to capture desired statistics. For example, to capture the ScheduledUtilization of a Rack, consider adding a Resource in parallel, and use Add-On Process Triggers to create logic to “Seize” and “Release” the Resource at the times a part is being loaded onto the Vehicle. In this example, an Add-On Process that occurs when an Entity enters the Transfer Node (Titled “Output_Rack1_Entered”) captures this logic and allows the user to capture statistics on the frequency of use of that particular rack. This logic can apply to different objects and different statistics alike.
