UGL contacted Opturion to assist in developing COVID-19 safe rosters. UGL wanted to create shift patterns which didn’t overlap, maximised coverage and met fatigue-risk guidelines as specified by industry best practice.
Monash
University
Opturion created a rostering system for Monash Universities casual exam invigilator workforce. The goal of the system was to generate a roster which maximised coverage of exams whilst satisfying certain constraints.
NORTH WESTERN PROGRAM ALLIANce
Due to their intensive, time-critical projects NWPA required a comprehensive fatigue risk management system that included roster scheduling software to design, assess and manage rosters.

Alternative Freight Services aimed to minimise the long term impacts brought by freight costs, inefficient internal freight and supply chain processes. They approached Opturion in the hopes of integrating our DTO with their existing platform.
Howdens
Joinery
We addressed the problem of delivering products from three PDCs to depots. Opturion's state-of-the- art optimisation and scheduling technologies were used to provide optimal solutions for Howdens' transport of products
hMCCARTHY TRANSPORT
Opturion was introduced to McCarthy through CMS Transport Systems and Grant Thornton New Zealand to optimise McCarthy’s transport operation. The Opturion Dynamic Transport Optimiser (DTO) was used to complete this task.
ALLIED
eXPRESS
Opturion was tasked with developing an optimiser that assisted Allied Express' operators in their decision process, so that they make better decisions quicker and maintain or improve on-time performance (customer service).

SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC
Schneider’s Australian operations contacted Opturion investigate the cost-effectiveness of their transport operation, and to determine if it would be beneficial to change to a different operating and cost model.
AUSTRAL
BRICKS
To further improve on their production efficiency, Austral sought out Opturion’s services to create a DTO based on a model of their route optimisation problem, which contains the decisions needed to generate a schedule.

Opturion solved the problem of cutting rebars in a shearline in the optimal way, considering setup times, yield, and re-use of offcut for NatSteel in Malaysia
Sealed
aIR
Opturion engaged Sealed Air to reduce production scheduling on the manufacture of Cryovac shrink bags. As a part of this, they improved their printing, conversion and labour force optimisers, so that it could work together seamlessly.

ORIGIN
ENERGY
Opturion through its contractor Mondo, to provide a forecasting and planning system to manage meter faults, replacements, and repairs. The project commenced in September 2018 and went live in December.

Royal Automobile Club of Victoria
In order for RACV to be efficient and deliver customer service levels, Opturion created a new forecasting tool based on Artificial Intelligence. The forecasting tool was shown to be more than 95% accurate.
Mobile workforce Optimisation
Royal flying doctor service
Opturion was tasked with developing an integratable software (Opturion is run on the cloud) that provided additional decision support capabilities to increase the efficiency of the existing booking system instead of replacing it.

Toll and Opturion worked together to reduce load in Nike's warehouse and thereby increased effective capacity. The existing system was tested and identified 5% of orders that could be bypassed, thus reducing load by 5%.
Railway Transport Optimisation
AUSTRALIAN RAIL TRACK CORPORATION
A Proof of Concept (POC) performed by Opturion for ARTC. The POC consisted of modeling a rail network and scheduling a mix of coal, freight and passenger trains through the network.
