Save-On-Foods Reduces Critical Process from 25 Hours to 2 Minutes
Western Canadian grocery retailer Save-On-Foods is using hybrid quantum algorithms to optimize processes within their business. The company has been able to reduce the time it takes to run an important optimization task from 25 hours to a mere 2 minutes of calculations each week.
Unlock Your New Competitive Edge
Forward-thinking manufacturing, logistics, and mobility businesses can secure a first-mover advantage today by starting to explore specific problems that can benefit from quantum computing. Get a head start on your quantum journey by identifying relevant quantum use cases now and achieving quantum solutions faster. Future-proof your business and accelerate time-to-value with smarter decision-making, enhanced risk management, lower operational costs, and increased revenue.
According to Gartner, 36% of manufacturing CIOs whose enterprises had recently experienced some type of disruption say that operating cost competitiveness has fallen behind.
It’s time to explore how quantum can unlock your new competitive edge.
Built for Optimization Across the Value Chain
D-Wave's technology is based on quantum annealing, which is best for combinatorial optimization problems with large numbers of variables and constraints. These types of problems make up a large part of the manufacturing problem space across every part of the value chain, such as materials procurement, robotics, plant maintenance, route optimization, pricing, staffing, scheduling, and more. Using D-Wave quantum technology, Volkswagen saw a significant improvement in efficiency for both route optimization and a car painting assembly line.
