The algorithmic portion of the Arena Packaging template’s engine manages the complex
logic and statistics associated with high-speed, high-volume flow. Specifically designed for
simulating high-speed processes, it allows Arena Packaging to simulate the performance of
a high-volume system accurately and efficiently without using entities to represent individ-
ual units or batches of units.
As the simulation begins, unit flow starts at the front of lines and moves downstream. The
simulation then automatically tracks, updates, and collects statistics on the Arena
Packaging variables for the length of the simulation run. Numeric values, plots, and levels
of Arena Packaging template variables can be viewed during the simulation using Arena’s
animation constructs.
