I'm currently a Mechanical Engineering student that is looking into a project on Intelligent Manufacturing.
I have been using AnyLogic to explore manufacturing simulation. I have created a basic Jobshop that involves that transportation of material pallets from delivery to storage to processing. My next step is to transition this static scheduling system to a dynamic scheduling system.
I would like to know if there is any way to actively manipulate the simulation whilst it is running? For example, controlling the availability of processing machines in real time or triggering a delivery. So far I have been unable to find any way of manipulating the simulation after it has been run.
Does anybody have experience with real time data input into simulation software?
Hello Ben,
What you are looking for is usually referred to as "Symbiotic Simulation", that means, the physical system is interacting with the simulated system.
Here is an example where the physical system is a real-world ERP system:

The implementation has been made with AnyLogic 6, but it should work the same way with newer versions of AnyLogic. With variables, parameters, and collections you can retrieve real-world data into your simulation environment (check the section "Importing data" in AnyLogic Help). The imported data may switch on/off other objects in your simulation model such as resource pools or delays.
I hope it helps you. Good luck!
Regards,
Thomas
