Digital Twins are a novel approach to systems engineering that can help control complex
environments and interface humans with them. This is achieved by digitally mirroring a …

This paper describes the framework development of a dynamic integrated biomass supply
analysis and logistics model (IBSAL) to simulate the collection, storage, and transport …

The growth of this industry has been rapid for the last 25 years, however, aquaculture still
relies heavily on feed input from wild capture fisheries. Landings in wild capture fisheries …

Experimental investigations of grain flow can be expensive and time consuming, but
computer simulations can reduce the large effort required to evaluate the flow of grain in …

Grain transportation from the field to an on-farm storage facility is a critical component of the
harvest system. A discrete event simulation model of grain transportation was developed to …

Capacity planning in agricultural field operations needs to give consideration to the
operational system design which involves the selection and dimensioning of production …

Abstract The South African sunflower industry is considering transferring to a quality-based
