Case Study: MOSIMTEC improves bulk material logistics with AnyLogic simulation software

Improving Bulk Material Logistics in Steel Manufacturing

MOSIMTEC supported an international steel producer planning a major site expansion, where the growing bulk material logistics network was too complex for spreadsheets or simple diagrams. The company needed to keep conveyors, tipplers, hoppers, stockpiles, and reclaimers running without interruption, while avoiding delays, shutdowns, and costly design mistakes. MOSIMTEC used AnyLogic simulation software to help model and assess the system before construction began.

Using an AnyLogic-based discrete-event simulation model, MOSIMTEC built a data-driven replica of the plant’s logistics flow with Excel inputs, smart routing, stockpile management, and scenario testing. The solution identified design flaws early, prevented expensive rework, reduced equipment strain and operating costs, and let engineers run full-year simulations in under two minutes. It also gave the client confidence that the expanded system would perform reliably in real-world conditions.
