Arena (software)
Arena is a discrete event simulation and automation software developed by Systems Modeling and acquired by Rockwell Automation in 2000.〔http://www.amrresearch.com/Content/View.asp?pmillid=7236〕 It uses the SIMAN processor and simulation language. As of June 2014, it is in version 14.7, providing significant enhancements in optimization and animation. It has been suggested that Arena may join other Rockwell software packages under the "FactoryTalk" brand.〔http://www.automationworld.com/webonly-1634〕
In Arena, the user builds an experiment ''model'' by placing ''modules'' (boxes of different shapes) that represent processes or logic. Connector lines are used to join these modules together and to specify the flow of ''entities''. While modules have specific actions relative to entities, flow, and timing, the precise representation of each module and entity relative to real-life objects is subject to the modeler. Statistical data, such as cycle time and WIP (work in process) levels, can be recorded and outputted as reports.
Arena can be integrated with Microsoft technologies. It includes Visual Basic for Applications so models can be further automated if specific algorithms are needed. It also supports importing Microsoft Visio flowcharts, as well as reading from or outputting to Excel spreadsheets and Access databases. Hosting ActiveX controls is also supported.
== Uptake ==
Arena is used by many large companies engaged in simulating business processes. Some of these firms include General Motors, UPS, IBM, Nike, Xerox, Lufthansa, Ford Motor Company, and others.〔http://www.arenasimulation.com/solutions/default.asp〕 It has been noted that creating a simulation can require more time at the beginning of a project, but quicker installations and product optimizations can reduce overall project time.〔http://www.mmsmag.co.za/articledetail.aspx?id=254〕 Arena can simulate diverse operation types, including call centers, for optimizing the use of agents and phone lines, the size and routing of pancake stacks in a food processing facility,〔http://www.mmsmag.co.za/articledetail.aspx?id=254〕 and the design of a gold mine.〔http://www.miningweekly.com/article/new-goldmine-is-all-set-to-hit-the-ground-running-1999-03-12〕
