Agriculture Supply Chain

BOLT is able to handle all stages of the agriculture supply chain from the source to market.

Logistics

BOLT ensures that material is moved efficiently across networks as well as assist in any infrastructure planning considerations.

BOLT Considers:

  • Blending into single cargoes
  • Trains scheduling
  • Multi-modal logistics (trucks, trains, conveyor, etc)
  • Material selection and loading times
  • TLO capacity
  • Route capacity
  • Fleet allocation & sizing
Storage

BOLT works hard to maximise profits across all of the available products in the supply chain. It is able to effectively manage any stockpiling decisions that take into account timing and final product constraints.

BOLT Considers:

  • Silo / terminal stockpiling decisions
  • Material allocation from multiple sources
  • Cargo assembly / dedicated
  • FIFO / LIFO stockpiling decisions
Port Operations

Poorly managing vessels and port operations run the risk of accruing demurrage and impacting production throughput. BOLT effortlessly handles complex constraints and develops plans to help manage these risks.

BOLT Considers:

  • Vessel LAYCANS​
  • Demurrage minimisation
  • Port capacities
Processing

BOLT takes the guesswork out of deciding the best processing strategies for a supply chain. Using the latest in industrial mathematics, BOLT ensures the optimally best plan to maximise profits to meet any business demands.

BOLT Considers:

  • Set points & operating modes
  • Material selection for blending into plant​
  • Processing plant campaigns​
  • Reject constraints​
  • Processing plant sizing​
  • Third party blending
  • Match blending targets
Marketing

Ensuring that all contractual obligations are met whilst operating in the most efficient manner is complex. BOLT develops plans that meet these marketing demands whilst considering surplus and uncommitted resources.

BOLT Considers:

  • Contract selection
  • Uncommitted sales / demand modelling
  • Bonus / penalties​
Farm
BOLT is able to generate plans to include multiple farms and their respective operational constraints.
