AI ales how I worked with artificial intelligence to design layout
AI Ales – How Artificial Intelligence Assisted Welcome to AI Ales, a microbrewery-themed switching layout designed to demonstrate how artificial intelligence can optimize rail logistics. Using a custom-trained GPT logistics engine (nicknamed YardBot 1.0), this layout simulates realistic rail-served industry operations in a compact space. Here’s a look at how AI helped configure the tank farm, spot assignments, and switching moves. Tank Farm Operations The AI Ales brewery receives essential brewing supplies by rail via five dedicated tank unloading spots: Tank Spot Commodity Purpose Tank 1 Food-Grade CO₂ Carbonation and pressurization Tank 2 Corn Syrup High-gravity brewing adjunct Tank 3 Caustic Soda Clean-in-Place system sanitation Tank 4 Phosphoric Acid Water pH treatment Tank 5 Liquid Malt Extract Fermentable sugar base These tank car assignments were suggested by AI based on real-world brewery operation...
