Notes on warehouse robotics simulation, RMFS dispatching, RL benchmarks, and reproducibility.https://waremax.skelfresearch.com/en-ushttps://waremax.skelfresearch.com/blog/pilot-vs-sim-where-the-30-percent-throughput-surprise-comes-from/https://waremax.skelfresearch.com/blog/pilot-vs-sim-where-the-30-percent-throughput-surprise-comes-from/Your pilot underperformed the sim by ~30%, or your sim underperformed the pilot. Both are common. Here is the short list of what almost always causes the gap, and how WareMax narrows it.Wed, 06 May 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://waremax.skelfresearch.com/blog/reading-a-sim-what-high-fidelity-actually-buys-you/https://waremax.skelfresearch.com/blog/reading-a-sim-what-high-fidelity-actually-buys-you/Sim vendors say 'high fidelity' to mean 'pixels'. We mean: typed events, lognormal service times, canonical tie-breaking, and a delay decomposition that sums to cycle time. Here is the difference.Wed, 22 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://waremax.skelfresearch.com/blog/why-discrete-event-sim-beats-continuous-for-amr-planning/https://waremax.skelfresearch.com/blog/why-discrete-event-sim-beats-continuous-for-amr-planning/Continuous-time models look honest until you ask them for the cycle-time tail. DES is the right level of detail for fleet sizing and dispatching, and here is why.Wed, 08 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT
