Simulation of Steel Production Logistics System Based on Multi-Agents

To deal with the complex structure and difficulty in precise expression of the interaction between entities in the steel production logistics system, this paper uses complex network theory and multiagent system engineering to simulate the complex steel production logistics system, and thereby calculate related parameters, gather statistics, and optimize the steel production logistics system. According to the analysis, the processing of logistics is low in efficiency because 19 pieces of equipment are involved from the beginning of the logistics subject processing to the final formation of steel, while only a few processes are required for about half of the auxiliary material or auxiliary process. The system logistics is not compact because most of the equipment used in steel production has only a single function and a limited service area, whereas a higher degree distribution indicates a higher importance in a piece of equipment in the network. This is a must to guarantee the normal operation of the equipment with a higher degree distribution. The simulation results are basically the same with the actual production results, and the error is within the acceptable range, which proves that the simulation system is correct and effective.
