The disclosure generally relates to a system for automating a process of determining a particular store layout and/or store configuration for a store. The system may obtain store data associated with a particular store. Based on the store data, the system can access a simulation platform for generating a virtual replication of the store based on the obtained store data. The virtual replication of the store and the store may produce the same or similar production data. Based on the production data of the store, the system can modify the store data to generate modified store data for generating a modified virtual replication of the store. Further, the system can compare the production data from the virtual replication of the store with the production data from the modified virtual replication of the store in order to determine store data that satisfies particular constraints.

System for configuring an environment based on modifications to simulated virtual environments

A manufacturing process for physical components can be optimized using some techniques described herein. For example, a system can access a group of models, where each model corresponds to a respective type of production location. The system can select a model, from the group of models, that corresponds to a particular type of production location selected by a user. The system can select a particular type of production equipment based on the selected model. The system can then execute one or more computing operations to facilitate deployment of the particular type of production equipment at the particular type of production location. This can help ensure that appropriately sized production equipment is installed at the production location.

Optimizing manufacturing of physical components

A manufacturing process for physical components can be optimized using some techniques described herein. For example, a system can receive, via a graphical user interface, a user selection of a particular type of production location. The system can determine a cumulative consumption of a component at the particular type of production location over a particular time window. The system can analyze a group of candidate types of production equipment to identify a particular type of production equipment that can accommodate the cumulative consumption of the component during the particular time window. And the system can execute one or more computing operations configured to facilitate deployment of the particular type of production equipment at the particular type of production location.
