Disruption in a Good Way
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.
Analyse
Many organisations need help determining their true capacity potential due to fluctuations in market demand, despite having access to vast amounts of data and key performance indicators.
At Opturion, we offer a solution that uses advanced mathematics and machine learning to create a validated digital twin or mathematical model. By analysing performance, our model identifies opportunities for improvement and provides insights on how to make better decisions and operating models for improved compliance and cost savings.
Optimise
Optimising involves finding the most cost-effective solution by considering various regulations, including legal and contractual obligations, impacting all business operations. This method is beneficial when dealing with complex industry options and fluctuations.
Opturion empowers companies to make crucial decisions such as acquisitions, divestitures, and new contracts. Additionally, we help them anticipate and proactively respond to industry changes.
Automate
Although some industries continue to depend on human intervention for handling unexpected scenarios and overcoming the limitations of data input, this approach does not eliminate the drawbacks associated with human involvement, such as inconsistency and high costs.
At Opturion, we are committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology and real-world applications to automate road and rail transport planning and operation. This allows humans to transition to the role of supervisors who are responsible for overseeing and optimising the system over time.
Here's How We Got Started
From G12 Research to a Commercial Optimisation Platform
Opturion’s journey began in 2011.
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.
From G12 Research to a Commercial Optimisation Platform
Opturion built three optimisation applications.
- Production planning and scheduling for Sealed Air for their multi stage printing machines
- Staff rostering for Toll in the Coles Warehouse
- A strategic optimisation application for supermarket deliveries with Linfox
From G12 Research to a Commercial Optimisation Platform
Our team improved the long-term maintenance of electricity meters for Origin, with forecasting and optimisation. This resulted in the development of a Mobile Workforce Optimiser. We also built a dispatch optimiser for Allied Express controlling over 1,000 trucks.
From G12 Research to a Commercial Optimisation Platform
We extended our upgraded the Sealed Air system and built a Production Planning and Scheduling (PPS) for Boeing. We also worked with Hitachi Trains and Rio Tinto on train scheduling. Our partnership with ORCODA was extended for another 10 years.
From G12 Research to a Commercial Optimisation Platform
Three important projects in this period were:
- Optimising investment decisions in new energy with Woodside Energy
- Forest product supply chain optimisation with ARAUCO in Chile
- Fuel delivery optimisation for Hills Tankers
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.
