There aren't many industries where algorithms have a more direct impact on efficiency, cost and sustainability than in the supply chain sector. Nevertheless, algorithmic innovation is still severely lacking in this area. Currently, factories and warehouses manage most of their processes using slow, inaccurate and siloed heuristics that are shoddily coupled in ancient systems such as SAP. Case in point: many warehouses ship trucks that are suboptimally filled with boxes that are still full of air, resulting in unnecessary transport trips, emissions and financial losses.

This is where Optioryx comes into play. It is our mission to help companies ship products, not air. Our 3D bin packing algorithm already increases space utilisation on pallets, boxes and in trucks with up to 30%.
Still, we think we can do even better, and you could be part of it. Currently, most of our packer consists of classical search-based AI. However, with recent advances in (self-play) reinforcement learning, we believe that we can make the supply chain even faster, smarter and more efficient.

During your internship at Optioryx, you would research, brainstorm and implement ML architectures that strengthen our algorithm. We have real-world data to validate performance and PhDs & Kaggle Masters on staff to support you the entire way. If you are excited by the idea of making a tangible impact on the efficiency of the global supply chain in a dynamic and early stage startup environment, then we want you!
