Fiber Optic Network Design

"Biarri has already demonstrated the engine's capability and benefits on projects for NBN Co. It quickly generates low-cost fibre network designs based on the requirements of the reference architecture. It can determine optimal fibre area boundaries, the position of fibre hubs, and the layout and route of distribution and local fibre."

Gary Maclaren
Chief Technology Officer, NBN Co.

Need

Consistent application of the design rules
Produce feasible, least cost designs
Produce many designs on tight timeline

Solution

Optimisation engine for producing least cost designs
Data processing engine to prepare input data
Visualisation to aid design and engineering output to initiate construction

Result

Shorter design process with fewer repetitive steps
Cheaper networks saving material and construction costs
Objective designs that respect the design rules

Route Planning

"We are very pleased with the work Biarri has done over the past year and know that our customer service has improved further and significant savings have been made. To outsource the optimisation of our fleet to specialists has been a very good business decision, leaving us to concentrate on increasing the efficiency of our transport and operations."

Rob Aiken
Transport Manager, Schweppes.

Need

Complex daily planning and optimisation of beverage deliveries
Management attention on business improvement not day to day planning

Solution

Biarri managed service for daily delivery route planning

Result

Optimal vehicle routes and delivery sequences
Minimum vehicles and kilometres
Robust workable routes
Reduced planning cost and effort

Yield Optimisation

"The Biarri team worked closely with us to provide a complex model which met our specific requirements and delivered it using smart IT to make the solution accessible. In addition the Biarri guys stepped in to assist with the broader project by quickly providing novel solutions allowing all parties to move forward. Biarri are clever problem solvers who can be relied on to deliver."

Need

Understand business dynamics
Maximise margin
Make optimal decision across whole business

Solution

Multi year business model generating optimal capital plans and detailed asset activities
Balances revenue, capex and opex
Many mines, hundreds of locos, thousands of wagons and hundreds of thousands of tonnes moved

Result

Tool for long term planning and profit optimisation
Better asset allocation and contract structuring
Align price and contract terms for customers and with optimal asset and delivery arrangements

Logistics Network Optimisation

"Biarri delivered a quantitative model which presented the facts in a way that allowed us to analyse our transport and logistics network and address a number of important strategic questions. We found using Biarri is a good way to take subjectivity and opinion out of your key decisions. Get Biarri to "do the maths" and make the right decision based on the facts."

Queensland Cotton

Need

Reduce logistics costs
Match logistics networks to deal with large seasonal variations
Many transport and storage options

Solution

Strategic network optimisation model to provide lowest cost transport network

Result

Designed lowest cost network for many seasonal volume variations
Selected optimal warehouse locations and best transport modes

Vessel Packing

"QUBE needed to implement a more efficient approach to planning vehicle cargo for RORO vessels. After an exhaustive market search for a vessel packing application I was skeptical that the problem could be solved easily. Given their commercial mathematics focus I knew Biarri could develop the right optimisation engine and after I saw a presentation of their initial Workbench UI prototype I was convinced that they could deliver a complete application. The final product has far exceeded our expectations. This application will enable us to make significant improvements in our vessel packing process"

Ray Connell. General Manager IT
P&O Automotive & General Stevedoring

Need

Inflexible and time-consuming white-board and Excel-based planning process
Significant knowledge and expertise held by few individuals
Desire to ensure that vessels are packed as efficiently as possible

Solution

Vessel packing application
Vessel packing optimisation engine
Highly visual and easy to use UI

Result

Faster planning process
Better load plans
Broader user base
