Case Study: KSE Group reduces pet food factory design timelines with AnyLogic

Manufacturing Optimization of Pet Food Production Lines

KSE Group, a specialist in dosing and weighing systems for the animal nutrition industry, needed a better way to design and optimize pet food production lines. Complex container movements, varying dosing times, and unpredictable bottlenecks made manual manufacturing optimization costly and time-consuming, so KSE turned to AnyLogic for simulation modeling.

Using AnyLogic, KSE built an agent-based simulation model to test different factory layouts and production line configurations before implementation. The solution reduced factory design and validation timelines from weeks to hours, uncovered inefficiencies early for significant savings, and improved client communication through 2D/3D visualization that also boosted sales effectiveness.
