Case Study: MOSIMTEC achieves 30% lower AMR costs and validated fulfillment with AnyLogic

Warehouse Modeling Designing an Automated Distribution Center with Simulation

MOSIMTEC worked with a leading pet supply company that needed to design a highly automated distribution center before construction began. The challenge was to manage complex, shifting demand for products like dog food and cat litter while controlling throughput risk, capital costs, and downtime. MOSIMTEC used AnyLogic simulation software to model the automated pallet-building process and evaluate the proposed warehouse design.

Using AnyLogic, MOSIMTEC built a flexible simulation with AMRs, gantry cranes, pallet wrapping stations, and SKU slotting strategies, plus scenario testing through a Microsoft Excel interface. The model validated that daily orders could be met within a 20-hour window, cut AMR requirements by 30%, and improved SKU placement to reduce congestion and boost efficiency.
