about us
Opturion's technology is disrupting the 'optimisation' market and is revolutionising the way decisions are made in transport, logistics manufacturing and maintenance. With unique 2nd generation 'optimisation' technology that utilises artificial intelligence, we make it possible to ensure compliance, reduce cost and improve customer service and productivity.
"A key differentiator of Opturion's technology is its ability to respond, almost immediately, to changing circumstances providing customers with minute-by-minute decision support and automation."
- Alan Dormer, Managing Director
what is opturion?
Opturion is a dynamic 'optimisation' engine, that utilises artificial intelligence, to provide intelligent decision support.
The technology is easy to use, easy to integrate in applications and capable of tackling challenging future optimisation problems efficiently. It is agnostic of the optimisation method used allowing the same problem model to be solved using, mixed integer programming, dynamic programming, constraint programming or local search.
OUR HISTORY
Opturion is a spin-out of CSIRO Data61, Monash University and The G12 Project. The G12 project developed the Zinc and MiniZinc Solver modelling languages as well as the award winning 'Lazy Clause Generation Hybrid Approach' to constraint optimisation.
This state-of-the-art definition of many well studied scheduling problems is the foundation of Opturion's software.
at OPTURION WE ARE DIFFERENT
In a relatively short period of time, we have disrupted the market and become one of the most prominent names in 'Optimisation'. Our new and emerging technology is fast, reliable and cost effective, allowing us to deliver applications in a matter of months, that takes others years to complete. Unlike other 'optimisers' Opturion finds a good solution very quickly.
WHO IS IT FOR?
There are two versions of the Opturion technology - one version is for end user customers and the other is for our partners. The end user application fits into pre-existing IT architecture; while the partner version is either integrated into their branded product, or is built into an application for their customers.
how it works?
Our ability to customise Opturion's technology, to cater to our customer's needs is a characteristic that sets us apart from our competitors.
We deliver customer service, compliance and cost reduction by focusing first on solutions that satisfy customer service and compliance needs. Once an optimum solution is found, we then pick the solutions that reduce costs.
When customising the technology, we first identify the decision variables that need to be optimised. Next we specify the constraints from past data obtained from the customer and decide on how these constraints affect the decision variables. Through this we are able to collect parameters, select an 'optimisation' objective and set its parameters. Then data feeds are created and a number of scenarios are run, by attaching the data feed to the model with the selected constraints and objective functions. Then the reports are run. Should any of the variables change, then simply re-optimise (at the click of a button).
