11/05/2021 | written by Carlo Poloni BPMN in transportation: ESTECO pivotal role in port logistics optimization Our BPMN editor, Cardanit, was part of a project used to optimize the railway system model of the port of Trieste, in Italy, to find out current bottlenecks. Documental procedures and train movements became business processes to analyze and scrutinize in order to further develop the project. This work is going to drive Cardanit roadmap towards new ventures like optimization and simulation, which will become main features in the years to come. At the same time, the use of simulation process automation and numerical optimization technology enabled the creation of a digital twin of the port to optimize its planning and future developments.
20/04/2021 | written by Marco Turchetto Machine Learning accelerates the simulation design process Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that permeates our everyday life: from the moment we wake up in the morning to the moment we go to bed at night. It is the engine that powers many online services we use and that influences our behaviors learning from our past experiences. The idea behind this is that systems can learn from data, identify patterns on their own and...
10/03/2021 | written by Danilo di Stefano Reducing the complexity of design space exploration with sensitivity analysis Engineering problems can involve a large number of design variables. But not all of the inputs have an equal effect on the output. Considering them all can dramatically reduce the efficiency of Design of Experiments (DOE) or optimization studies. In this scenario, you can also experience difficulties when building Response Surface Models (RSM). Most probably your dataset includes needless...

11/01/2021 | written by Ansley Barnard Key skills for developing resilience and managing work in isolation We’ve all experienced isolation and physical distancing this year. We’ve had to adapt our professional and personal lives dramatically. We’ve had to learn new skills, make sacrifices, and likely deal with tough emotions. But unlike most people, this was not new for me. Unexpectedly, I found myself revisiting old habits having lived through something like this before.
