Complexica Pty Ltd, a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence (AI) software for supply & demand optimisation, announced today that the company’s Chief Scientist, Dr. Zbigniew Michalewicz, along with its Director of Business Development, Leonardo Arantes, and Managing Director, Matt Michalewicz, have released a new book entitled The Rise of Artificial Intelligence: Real-world applications for revenue and margin growth. Divided into four parts and almost 500 pages in length, the new book is available for purchase in hard copy from Amazon, Dymocks, and many other booksellers, as well as in ebook form.

“Few terms have captured our imagination in recent times like ‘Artificial Intelligence,’ and it now seems that everyone ‘knows’ about AI; that everyone has an opinion,” said Dr. Zbigniew Michalewicz. “And yet, few people actually understand what Artificial Intelligence is and isn’t, where the field came from and where it’s heading, and how the technology can be harnessed to generate commercial outcomes.

This is exactly what The Rise of Artificial Intelligence explains in business language. Written for the modern-day business manager, The Rise of Artificial Intelligence examines Artificial Intelligence from the perspective of decision-making. Why? Because the quality of the decisions we make defines the quality of the future we create for ourselves and our organizations. In the same way that calculators have improved our ability to make better decisions—followed by spreadsheets, reporting tools, and countless other software applications—Artificial Intelligence is fast becoming the latest “calculator” to assist us, and one that happens to be particularly well-suited for the speed, noise, and complexity of the modern world.

Flinders Ports has an ambition – to do as little work as humanly possible moving containers back and forth as they make their way through South Australia’s major logistics hub. So it’s perhaps poetic that the Adelaide company has brought artificial intelligence to bear, to crunch the numbers on the Tetris-like task of getting hundreds of thousands of containers per year on and off ships, and on their way to the end user. Flinders has been working with Adelaide AI company Complexica for the past 18 months on optimising container movements through the Adelaide Container Terminal. The process has been largely manual to date, with the decisions about where containers would go in the yard being been left up to humans.

Flinders’ chief financial officer and the executive charged with driving the company’s digitisation agenda, Keith Halifax, said the organisation had identified a simple, albeit not easy to solve, problem. Mr Halifax said the equivalent of 400,000, 20 foot containers went through the precinct each year, and several variables dictated the best way to handle each one through the yard. These included for example which of two berths it needed to go to, what time trucking arrived, and what contents were involved.

“It felt very much like a problem that AI had the potential to add value to,’’ Mr Halifax said.

For the team at Complexica, it was a classic scenario, well-suited to an AI solution, where the amount of data was simply well beyond human capacity to absorb, managing director Matthew Michalewicz said.

“I think this represents one of those problems where you have scale, you have complexity, and you have velocity. Things are happening very quickly, and it’s physically impossible for any team of human experts to be considering all the combinations, all the forward scenarios and in real time be making optimised decisions, second-in, second out. It’s ideally suited for algorithmic technology like the one we’re deploying for Flinders. It’s the perfect problem.’’

Mr Halifax said the project was about halfway to being fully implemented, with digital dashboards for users in the yards and also for management to both give instructions on what needed to be done on the ground, as well as to monitor how well it was working.

“One of the ways that the world has changed during the past 20 years is that no one can process all the available data and information when making decisions anymore – there’s just too much data moving too quickly for companies to analyse it all,” said Larisa Stamova, Complexica’s Marketing Manager. “This is a problem because only decisions can create value – not reports, dashboards, insights, or business intelligence tools – and decisions are based on processing the right data in a timely manner. Complexica solves this problem by fully automating the complex analytical tasks that underpin the decision-making process, which allows companies to make optimised decisions – whether they be strategic, operational, or tactical. This award recognises the important role that our Artificial Intelligence platform plays within companies of all sizes to improve their business performance in an increasingly dynamic, complex, and data-rich world.”

The Australian Business Awards are an annual all-encompassing awards program which recognises organisations that demonstrate the core values of business innovation, product innovation, technological achievement and employee engagement via a set of comprehensive award categories.
