A whole new way to analyze and visualize your results using the popular open-source statistics and data mining tool.
SIMUL8 Professional feature
SIMUL8 users can export simulation results to many other applications to conduct further analysis or present their results to stakeholders in a different way.
R Integration offers another powerful option for analyzing SIMUL8 results using the popular open-source statistical programming language and software environment, used across a wide range of data analysis and visualization applications.
This feature enables you to quickly export the results of simulation runs and trials directly to R, reducing the steps needed to start filtering and aggregating your data. We’ve even included built-in template scripts, including box plots, to help you visualize your results in new ways without the need to write your own R code.
With the ability to also export to Shiny, a package that enables you to build interactive web apps straight from R, you’ll be able to share your simulation results with custom result dashboards.
Reduce build time and improve visualization by listing sub-tasks of a station in one Activity.
SIMUL8 Professional feature
Multi-task Timing is a powerful SIMUL8 2019 addition that has been introduced through users’ feedback and support queries about how to incorporate sub-tasks into an Activity.
Using one simulation object, this feature allows you to control an Activity's overall process time by defining multiple sub-tasks that occur in that same Activity. Each sub-task can also have its own process time, resource and image.
For example, if you need to simulate an Activity that first requires a preparation task with its own distribution and resource requirements. Using Multi-task Timing, you can easily define the individual timing distributions and resource requirements for both the preparation task and the main task in the Activity using one inutuitive interface.
Add flexibility to Conveyor modeling by picking and placing Work Items from Conveyors based on user-defined conditions.
SIMUL8 Professional feature
In previous versions of SIMUL8, the Pick and Place feature could be used to simulate Work Items being added to and removed from a Conveyor. With SIMUL8 2019, we've further enhanced this feature with the ability to pick and place Work Items at any point of a Conveyor based on series of conditions you can define.
Pick and Place by Condition provides improved control over how Work items within a SIMUL8 Conveyor object are moved through the system. By using conditional logic, you can easily and accurately simulate complex systems without the need to use multiple Conveyor objects.
Model complex real life scenarios by setting multiple conditions for an Activity to select work.
SIMUL8 Professional feature
Batch by Condition is a new method of routing in available to Activities and Conveyors. It allows for multiple conditions to be defined which tell the Activity or Conveyors to only accept Work Items when these conditional statements are met.
Batching by Condition allows for multiple conditions to be set using any:
Set Conveyor operating hours based on assigned shift patterns, giving more flexibility when simulating conveyors.
SIMUL8 Professional feature
Many SIMUL8 users will have used the Shifts functionality for Resources, Activities or even Start Points. Now with SIMUL8 2019, Shifts can be also assigned to Conveyors.
With Shift Dependent Conveyors, you can control the hours that Conveyors operate over the day with simple set-up. Rounding out SIMUL8 2019's Conveyor improvements, this feature complements the improved Conveyor control that users now have access to and reduces the number of Activities needed to simulate Conveyor intensive processes.
