Every two years, the largest European Simulation conference for production and logistics is organized by ASIM (the Association Simulation in German-speaking countries: “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Simulation im deutschsprachigen Raum”). During this conference innovations, trends, developments, scientific work, and interesting industry applications are presented. This year the conference takes place at the Technische Universität Ilmenau in Germany from the 13^th until the 15^th of September.

In addition to the traditional topics of the conference, this year’s theme is simulation applications to design and evaluate sustainable production and logistics systems. The topics of the conference range from discrete-event simulation, which is traditionally the focus of the conference, to hybrid methods and the combination with machine learning.

The conference program contains workshops and tutorials, an evening event, and an exhibition with software vendors and service providers from the simulation industry. The program enables opportunities for visitors to gain more knowledge about trending simulation topics, service offerings and feedback on all your questions.

Last February we released Enterprise Dynamics® 10.4. Since then, we’ve received many positive reactions from our business partners, clients and teachers who are working with our software. Nevertheless, we also received some feedback including advices and bug reports. Naturally we have been busy improving the software and we are therefore happy to announce the release of Enterprise Dynamics® 10.4.1!

With the latest version of Enterprise Dynamics® we have added the following three highly requested features:

• Improved search options: “Text in atom” now also searches in cells of a table
• Improved search options: “Atom in model” now also accepts wildcards
• Label overview expanded, giving a clearer overview

Additionally we have solved some minor issues that came forward after the release of Enterprise Dynamics® 10.4. A detailed overview of the highlights can be found in the release highlights document.

Curious what Enterprise Dynamics® can do for you and your company?

Are you designing, validating, and optimizing your Supply Chain including specific issues related to manufacturing, (re-)allocation, and logistics?

Enterprise Dynamics® is the industry simulation solution. InControl is happy to announce the release of Enterprise Dynamics® 10.4! Technically improved, more stable and with an increased user-friendliness.

Since the previous release, our developers have worked hard on adding several technical features, improving the user-friendliness and making the software more robust. All this to further increase the workflow, enabling you to create your models even faster.

These improvements are the result of close cooperation between our clients, the end-user of the software, our business partners and our software developers.

The main release highlights are: 

• Increased reading and writing speed of the Excel ActiveX
• Increased performance of table and data handling
• Option to see the planned path for an Advanced Transporter
• Screenshots in high resolutions now also available for the 3D window
• Cut-off time of assembler now possible for containers
• Initialize atom now has an “on load model” functionality
• User Event atom now can be labelled or provided with a name

Together with Business Partner Integrate, InControl will host an online seminar Simulation & Education on Monday the 21st of March from 14:00 till 17:00 CET.

During this seminar the following topics will be discussed:

• The role of simulation in Energy systems
• The role of simulation in education and research at Aalborg University
• Future developments and releases of Enterprise Dynamics®

Last month the 19^th Event of the Simulation Working Group (ASIM, “Arbeitsgemeinschaft Simulation”) took place, this year online for the first time. The ASIM is the largest European simulation conference for production and logistics and presents trends, current developments, scientific work, and interesting applications in the industry every two years.

The Simulation Working Group (ASIM) is a technical committee of the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI). The task of the ASIM is the promotion and further development of modeling and simulation in the basics and application as well as to improve the communication between theory and practice. Moreover, ASIM is a founding member of EUROSIM, the umbrella organization of European simulation societies. Therefore, the ASIM is the most important platform for developers and users of simulation in German-speaking countries.

Even though, this year the conference took place virtually the participation was as high as usual. There were approximately 180 participants who exchanged ideas in the topics of simulation in 4 parallel tracks and 70 specialist lectures.

As part of the conference the ASIM Jury calls for an outstanding thesis (Master, Bachelor or Diploma). This year, we congratulate our award winner Christina Gschwendtner from Söchtenau for her master’s thesis on simulation in construction. The main focus of the work is on the logistics of interior construction projects. As a loyal ASIM member, also this year InControl sponsored the award of €1.000,- together with SimPlan AG.
