Pernod Ricard Pacific Awards Scheduling Optimisation Contract to SolveIT Software

ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA, 7 June 2007 – SolveIT Software Pty Ltd, a leading provider of software solutions for planning & scheduling optimisation and predictive modelling, announced today that it has signed a contract with Pernod Ricard Pacific for the delivery of a Tank Management System that will optimise the allocation and utilisation of tanks.

Orlando Wines (a division of Pernod Ricard Pacific) manages more than 1000 tanks of differing capacities at the Rowland Flat production site and makes daily decisions on the storage of juices and wines in these tanks. Under the terms of the agreement, SolveIT Software will use its proprietary optimisation platform to develop a Tank Management System for Orlando Wines. The system will use projected grape intake and wine production to minimise the number and distance of transfers between tanks, as well as the number of litres being transferred. Based on the principles of Adaptive Business Intelligence, the Tank Management System will adapt the optimal solution based on actual grape intake and wine production.

“We source grapes from thousands of vineyard blocks around the Country to make the Orlando Wines portfolio of premium wines,” said Mr. Andrew Miller, Group Winery Manager of Orlando Wines. “Add the additional complexity of different varieties, different vintages and numerous winery locations, it’s easy to see how optimising our winery operations can be a very difficult task.

“Given all the variables, business rules, complex constraints, and unexpected changes that impact scheduling decisions, it’s no surprise they involve a high level of complexity,” said Dr. Zbigniew Michalewicz, Chairman of the Board of SolveIT Software. “We are looking forward to using the SolveIT Software optimisation platform and our many years of scheduling optimisation know-how to address the scheduling challenges at Orlando Wines.
