AGENT-DIRECTED SIMULATION OF FLOUR SILO INSTALLATIONSAS PLANNING TOOL FOR DECISION-MAKING

• The road capability of the tool has been proved in cooperation withBühler and their customers• Currently there is no better way to evaluate different planning versions• A large number of statistic data can be gathered (detailed informationabout capacity utilisation, distribution of filling levels, etc.)• Different layouts and system loads can be configured and simulatedquickly• Increased customer acceptance of the planned solution• Only simulation is able to provide information about the dynamicalbehaviour of the system (e.g. blockades)...
