New Video: Data-Generated Quick Tutorial

The Simio Team wants to help you ramp up on the process of data-generated & data-driven modeling!

In this video, the Simio Team is back with more Tips & Tricks for users: we show you how to use data-generated modeling to rapidly build models, evaluate different facility layouts, and start your project with a data-driven foundation. The video tutorial covers best practices for starting a project with data-generated modeling, for both objects and links, and custom object definitions with data-driven default property values.

Spring 2024 Simio Academic Case Study

In Case You Missed It – Now Available!

In case you missed it: Simio’s Academic team has released its newest Academic Case Study for Spring 2024. All materials are now available 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.

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

Modeling Mobile Resources as Workers

In models where the user may want Secondary Resources to be physically moved to a given Station, modeling inanimate objects as a Worker object is an effective way to mobilize the Resource. The Resource object, though perhaps more intuitive by its definition to represent items such as tooling for a job (in this case a MIG welder), is static during runtime and cannot physically be moved to a station. Depending on the scope of the model and the desired KPIs of the equipment involved, the Worker object can be an effective substitute given its ability to move location throughout the run.

Fundamentals of Simio –

Basic Features and How to use Simio for New Users

This session is aimed at new and soon-to-be-new Simio users. We will demonstrate the basic features of Simio and the model-building process by building a model – no idle talk and hand-waving – instead, we’ll get knee-deep in Simio by building and running a model, discussing features and answering questions along the way.
