Optiscale at the forefront of Optimization-as-a-Service for Industry 4.0

We’re excited to share our latest scientific publication presented at IEEE IISA 2025:
“A Framework for Optimization-as-a-Service in Manufacturing”, featuring our core technology, optEngine, Optiscale’s middleware solution that enables Optimization-as-a-Service (OaaS) in modern industrial environments. The framework is designed to overcome a long-standing challenge in manufacturing: the dependency on tightly coupled and solver-specific optimization tools.

What optEngine Delivers

  • Cloud-ready architecture, aligned with Industry 4.0
  • Schema-agnostic data handling, enabling seamless integration with any optimization engine
  • Support for synchronous & asynchronous workflows
  • High scalability & robustness through message queues and flexible APIs

Real-World Impact

The publication also presents an automotive case study where optEngine optimizes robotic operations in a kitting system.
Results include:

  • 21% faster pick-and-place operations in real-time execution scenarios
  • 26% reduction in layout reconfiguration time
  • Full compatibility with digital twins and model-based workflows

These results validate optEngine as a powerful enabler for responsive, scalable and interoperable optimization in manufacturing.
