In this issue you’ll catch a glimpse of the approaches by leading companies like ASML, Univé and Thales.
Almost every company recognizes the incredible value of artificial intelligence (AI). Everyone is talking about AI and promising a revolutionary way to get value out of data by applying machine learning and other techniques. ORTEC recognizes this value.
This e-guide explains our capabilities in optimization, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML). It also discusses our relationship with academia, the added value we deliver and achieved results. You can also find some short answers to frequently asked questions at the end.

But that is about to change: the Finished Goods Logistics solution package offers an integrated system to handle Packing, Loading and Routing at the same time. "At once, our customers can improve these processes and gain more visibility over their end-to-end operations. Which also means we can reduce CO2 emissions and improve supply chain resilience," says Valerie van de Kamp, Business consultant and Industry expert at ORTEC.
In addition to our Annual Report, this Sustainability Report presents the impact we have on people, planet, and profit in more detail. The report describes our ambitions for the future as well as the actions that have been taken to further improve our impact.
There is a big trend and focus on becoming data-driven and applying AI within organizations.

But that’s just the very beginning of getting value out of data in a continuous way.
