Emulate3D
Emulate3D Product Spotlight
Sim3D Emulate3D has long been the trusted source in the space of material handling and manufacturing controls-testing and demonstration virtual reality modeling software. With our continually advancing physics engines, event engines, and simulation experimenting tools, our Sim3D products highlight the power of our progressive model building approach, dynamic component parameterization, and experiment management tools. A single material handling system model will be built from the ground up, and will have multiple experiments run against it, while collecting and collating performance feedback data into a familiar format for analysis. Input performance parameters will be designed into the experiment manager, to be adjusted per experiment, so we may measure the impact these specific variables may have on the performance of the entire modeled system.
MathWorks
Building Discrete Event Systems with MATLAB
Learn how to model discrete-event and hybrid systems using MATLAB. With a major update to our block diagram modeling and simulation environment, you can now use the MATLAB language within Simulink, SimEvents and Stateflow to author discrete-event systems. This workshop will provide an introduction to using the MATLAB language to customize and author discrete-event simulations. You will learn how to attach event action computations to SimEvents blocks for customizing basic discrete-event block diagrams. You will also learn how to create an entire system with entities, storage, and complex event handling with either an object-oriented MATLAB block or within a state chart in Stateflow. You will also learn how to build hybrid systems that integrate discrete-event systems with continuous and discrete-time systems.
Presented By: Teresa Hubscher-Younger, Wei Li, Will Campbell, and Ramamurthy Mani, MathWorks
Afternoon Session 1, 12:30-2:30pm
AnyLogic North America

Presented By: Arash Mahdavi, Simulation Modeling Consultant
Applied Materials
The AutoMod product suite from Applied Materials has been used on thousands of projects empowering engineers and managers to make the best decisions. AutoMod’s material handling systems have increased modeling accuracy and ease-of-use. The next evolution of AutoMod is in progress ensuring that it will meet the needs of the simulation market for years to come. These advances have made AutoMod one of the most widely used simulation packages. AutoMod’s power lies in its performance, scalability and accuracy in detailed modeling of large and complex manufacturing, distribution, automation and logistic operations, leaving the competition behind. Come see why AutoMod has outlasted the competition and our exciting plans for AutoMod’s future through a fun and interactive session demonstrating AutoMod’s capabilities.
CreateASoft
Real-Time Operational Optimization with Dynamic Schedule Optimization
CreateASoft presents SimTrack’s real-time operational optimization solution. When job priorities shift, equipment availability fluctuates, material quality and availability fluctuate, along with labor and material handling equipment not being 100% reliable, SimTrack provides a solution to get back on track and meet production targets. Web enabled dashboards provide a real-time view of the current state of the operation, historical reporting, and most importantly a look into the near-future of the operation. Potential delays, bottlenecks and inefficiencies are identified and presented to management with a number of suggestions which can be made to get back on target. These alerts can range from a simple message on a large display to real-time work instructions delivered directly to the work force.

Arena Simulation Software/Rockwell Automation
Taking Advantage of the New Features in Arena v15
For more than 35 years, Arena has set the standard by which all other simulation products are compared. Arena is the most widely taught simulation tool in Academia and is used by more companies than any other competing product. In this session, we will present and discuss the new features of Arena v15 and how to make use of them to drive more value from your simulations.
FlexSim Software Products, Inc.
FlexSim’s simulation software products are easy to use and powerful — this combination makes FlexSim ideal for education. The range of capabilities and intuitive interfaces provide an effective platform for teaching simulation modeling and analysis in a wide variety of courses and disciplines. In addition, the software’s openness and powerful constructs provide a great foundation for research in many domains.
