Asset Collection Ecosystem

Producers often need to reclaim valuable assets in delivering products, such as wine casks, deep-cycle batteries, heavy machinery, or crates. These assets can represent a nationally distributed multi-million dollar asset.

This problem raised multi-faceted optimization problems such as:

• Efficient reclamation of assets leading to carbon emissions and replacement costs

• Optimization of collection fleets, scheduling and physical distribution on the vehicle

• Safety and asset contaminations.

In a recent partnership project, we evolved through the stages of conceptualization, feasibility, prototyping, product-market fit, customer trials, data analytics, and national-scale distribution. This collaborative effort also focused on securing intellectual property and exploring product extensions into broader markets. This project resulted in an essential tool adopted by leading manufacturers listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
