Optimizing Automotive Manufacturing with Industrial Generative AI

Zapata

Global manufacturers like BMW face a complex optimization problem: scheduling their workers to achieve production targets while minimizing idle hours. The challenge lies in the wide range of possible configurations and numerous constraints. Different shops have varying production rates, and each has their own discrete set of shift schedules. Furthermore, manufacturers need to prevent overflows and shortages in the buffers between steps in the manufacturing process. The complexity of the problem is further compounded by the need to optimize across multiple variables and constraints, making it a difficult task to solve using traditional methods.

Optimizing Supply Chain Operations with Orquestra® for a Global Beverage Distributor

Zapata

The case study revolves around an international beverage distributor that delivers soft drinks to over 700,000 vending machines in one of its territories. The company was facing challenges in optimizing its logistics network, which if improved, could lead to increased revenue, decreased fuel costs, and a reduced carbon footprint. The organization was also struggling with its data architecture, which was not supporting fast and efficient daily routing computations. The need for a solution that could enhance their delivery operations and support faster, more efficient daily routing computation was evident.

Accelerating Monte Carlo Simulations with Quantum Computing: A BBVA and Zapata Case Study

Zapata

BBVA, a Spain-based financial institution with over €662 billion in assets and 83 million customers across more than 30 countries, relies on complex calculations for risk analysis and pricing of financial products. Post the 2008 Financial Crisis, regulations necessitated banks to evaluate credit risk and stress-test financial scenarios. Typically, this risk analysis is performed using Monte Carlo simulations, a highly complex, expensive, and time-consuming process that must account for all possible credit default scenarios. Any enhancement in the performance of these simulations would directly affect the daily operational costs, financial product pricing, and risk analysis.

Benchmarking Quantum Computing Applications with Zapata's Orquestra for the US Department of Defense

Zapata

The US Department of Defense, specifically the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), is keen on understanding the future utility of quantum computers. Quantum computers promise an exponential advantage over classical computers, but quantifying this advantage for solving computationally hard problems remains unclear. The challenge also lies in determining when exactly this advantage could be realized. To address this, DARPA is funding Zapata to develop application-specific benchmark tests to compare the performance of different quantum hardware backends. Additionally, DARPA is interested in estimating the hardware resources that will be required for different quantum applications.
