Product Delivery and Simulation for Industry 4.0

  • First Online:
Simulation for Industry 4.0

Abstract

Industry 4.0 is having machines working connected as a collaborative community, both inside and outside the walls of the manufacturing sites. Manufacturing, sourcing, and delivery supply chains are now connected, making synchronization possible. Physical product delivery has changed significantly. Smart deliveries are now possible by directing end customer location in dynamic conditions. The capabilities of the delivery system can be simulated using discrete event simulation to compromise on-time delivery. Big data analytics are now a fundamental tool for product delivery analysis of optimal vehicle routing conditions and resource allocation. As companies have improved product delivery capabilities, more complex supply chains have been created. Analytic tools can tackle this complexity in estimating delivery time and product delivery windows under different workload scenarios.
