Optimisation considering uncertainty
By making most of the data we create the models of the process and uncertainties involved. With these models we can optimise every aspect of the processes, resources and costs.
When considering uncertainty, optimisation can be guided for resilience or variable plans.
For Oil & Gas:
Process and cost optimisation
We have a system to optimise the use of resources, plans and availability of machines. Our tool will allow resilient planning and to define predictive maintenance.
The models along with the optimised plans can feed an effective information portal/dashboard to create effective communication across the stakeholders. The right information will reach the right person.
For airports:
Optimise resources at security and improve customer service
By increasing the dwell time in the departure lounge the more money a passenger is likely to spend. The happier a passenger is when they get to the departure lounge - the more money they are likely to spend. Therefore if you can optimise security resources by more accurate scheduling to increase flow and control queue lengths, there is an opportunity to improve customer service and increase profitability of the airport.
Q-Alert is designed to forecast passenger demand, and therefore security requirements, weeks and months in advance with the aim of improving the flow of passengers through security by smoothing queue times throughout the day. Users can see both graphically and in a downloadable table when security lanes need to be open and closed and what effect this will have on queue times. This information is then used to schedule security resource.
In addition to this the historical information can then be used to analyse and assess key drivers of airport retail profitability, namely:
- What is the value/potential value to retail of passenger by time of day?
- Which flights contribute more revenue through the day?
- Where is the cut off between value from increased retail revenue and business lost due to poor customer service?
Q-Alert can also be set up to provide alerts in real time based on certain criteria being met. This allows operational management to make decisions based on a situation that has changed in a very short timeframe giving up to 60 minutes notice of potential peaks or troughs in demand occurring.

VenueSim signs teaming agreement with Northrop Grumman Europe-based airport systems group:
Northrop Grumman's airport systems group has expanded its Airport Realtime Collaboration (ARC) portfolio to include new capabilities in passenger flow forecasting and queue time management through VeneueSim.
The new ARC passenger flow module can give airport operators and security partners far better accuracy in their long and medium term planning and also early warning of unexpected changes in passenger flow rates.
VenueSim pioneers new software tool to get passengers holidays from East Midlands Airport off to a flying start:
