About

Daan Leijen is a researcher focused on the intersection of autonomous systems, agile manufacturing, and simulation modeling. His work centers on developing versatile simulation frameworks that can accurately represent complex production environments driven by autonomous transport and decision-making systems. A key contribution is his 2017 paper, "A Versatile Simulation Model of Agile Production by Autonomous Systems," which introduced a flexible simulation model capable of handling a wide range of input parameters—enabling researchers and engineers to study dynamic, real-world manufacturing scenarios without being constrained by rigid software assumptions. This model has been cited 3 times, reflecting its niche but foundational role in advancing simulation-based research for agile and autonomous production lines. Leijen’s approach emphasizes adaptability and realism, making his work valuable for those exploring Industry 4.0, cyber-physical production systems, and decentralized control. His research continues to inform how autonomous agents can be modeled to improve efficiency, scalability, and responsiveness in modern manufacturing environments.
