Case Study: Kernel achieves faster, cost-optimized agro-industrial logistics planning with AnyLogic simulation

Planning Agro-Industrial Logistics with Simulation

Kernel, the world-leading sunflower oil producer and exporter, needed a better way to plan harvesting, storage, and transportation across a complex agro-industrial network with more than 40 grain elevators and a large vehicle fleet. To avoid additional investment and reduce risk, Kernel turned to AnyLogic simulation software through Business Logic consulting to model its supply chain and test logistics scenarios in a virtual environment.

AnyLogic helped build a digital logistics optimization model covering transport from fields to elevators, elevator processing and storage, and shipment to ports. The solution let Kernel run risk-free experiments, optimize supply chain configuration, and improve decision-making; most notably, scenario planning time dropped from two weeks to just one hour.
