BlueSky Creations revolutionizes decision-making with AiSolved
BlueSky Creations and IBM
Enhancing operational efficiency with AI Optimization
BlueSky Creations, with over 30 years of excellence in workforce management solutions, faced a significant challenge in optimizing operational efficiencies across multiple sectors. Despite their pioneering work, the need to harness the power of data-driven decision-making became more apparent, particularly in complex industries such as supply chain, transport, health and autonomous operations. Their existing solutions, although robust, required a more dynamic and scalable approach to meet the ever evolving demands of modern businesses. The manual processes and traditional methods were no longer sufficient to handle the intricate and large scale optimization problems efficiently. The turning point came when BlueSky Creations engaged with a large mining company in Queensland to reduce the time to retrain 1500 staff across the entire mine in preparedness for autonomous rigs by 28%. Despite the initial success, the project faced hurdles in procurement, delaying the tangible benefits of their innovation. This highlighted the necessity for a more agile and accessible optimization platform, one that could provide real-time insights and solutions without the lengthy lead times associated with traditional deployment models.
In response to these challenges, BlueSky Creations developed AiSolved, a revolutionary platform leveraging IBM® technologies to transform data-driven decision-making processes. AiSolved integrates sophisticated AI and IBM ILOG® CPLEX® optimization models on IBM Cloud® to offer an on-demand, scalable solution for various industries.
IBM Cloud meets the highest regulatory, security and compliance standards, enhancing resiliency and performance while reducing costs. Its robust infrastructure supports AI workloads, ensuring seamless scalability and responsible AI governance.
