• ➡️ What: Leveraging Python for Building a Logistics Simulator
• 📢 Who: Manuel Bolivar
• ⏱ Duration: 30 min
• 👅 Language: English
• 🧐 Abstract: Explore how Glovo leveraged the Python ecosystem to develop a digital twin of its logistics operations spanning 600+ cities in 22 countries. In this talk, we examine the integration of discrete‑event simulation, optimization algorithms, and meta‑heuristics to dynamically adjust and optimize operational parameters. Attendees will learn how these simulation techniques can drive operational improvements and gain practical insights from the lessons learned during development.
