Opturion on the Move: Sharing Our Expertise at AusRail and RMIT

At Opturion, we’re always excited to connect with industry leaders and the next generation of innovators. This month, we’re proud to be involved in two key events that highlight our commitment to advancing transport optimisation.

Catching Up at AusRail 2025

We’re thrilled to be attending AusRail 2025, the premier event for the rail industry. You might be wondering what an AI optimisation company has to do with trains? The answer is: everything.

Rail is the backbone of efficient, large-scale transport and logistics. Our work in intelligent routing, scheduling, and load planning directly complements the complex challenges faced in rail freight and intermodal operations. Attending AusRail allows us to share insights on how our technology can help:

  • Integrate seamlessly with multi-modal supply chains.
  • Optimise load planning for containerised freight moving from rail to road.
  • Improve scheduling to reduce delays and maximise asset utilisation.

It’s the perfect venue to discuss how smarter decision-making can drive better outcomes across the entire transport network.

Sharing Industry Insights at RMIT University

We’re also delighted to announce that our Managing Director, Alan Dormer, will be a keynote speaker at the RMIT College of Business and Law’s End of the Year Event.

Alan will be sharing his perspective on what employers expect from PhD candidates today in fields like supply chain, logistics, and information systems. This is a fantastic opportunity to bridge the gap between cutting-edge academic research and the practical, real-world problems we solve every day for our clients.

Supporting future talent is crucial for the continued innovation in our field, and we’re honoured to contribute to this discussion.

How We Power Smarter Transport

So, how does Opturion actually tackle transport optimisation? It’s more than just finding the shortest route. Our engine handles the full complexity of real-world logistics:

  • Order Allocation & Load Planning: Intelligently assigning jobs to vehicles while respecting weight, volume, and safety constraints.
  • Dynamic Scheduling: Building realistic schedules that manage time windows, driver breaks, and loading bay availability.
  • Real-Time Re-Optimisation: Adapting plans instantly to disruptions like traffic, site closures, or new urgent orders.

This isn’t just theoretical. We’ve delivered tangible results, such as helping partners like Hills Tankers and Allied Express achieve significant reductions in kilometres, driver hours, and late deliveries.

If you’re at AusRail or the RMIT event, please come and say hello! For everyone else, if you’re looking to transform your transport operations, let’s talk.
