Why is simulation, and Simio, positioned to be at the center of a smart factory implementation?

a$.$

Simulation can act as the glue to connect many otherwise independent systems together.

b$.$

Simio can access the information in otherwise independent systems, provide planning and scheduling information, and provide predictive analytic information about what might happen in the future.

c$.$

Simulation can help improve decision making capability by bringing together otherwise silos of information to show possible system future states.

d$.$

All of the other options $($except the option None$)$

e$.$

None of the other options.
