A workforce automation platform catering to large-scale operations, IBOT sought to streamline complex rostering tasks like route planning, task assignment, and scheduling. The need was a constraint-based solution that could dynamically allocate resources while handling multiple operational parameters. A smart planning engine was developed to meet these challenges with precision and scalability.

IBOT aimed to overcome inefficiencies in manually assigning tasks, routes, and maintenance schedules across its workforce. The project spanned areas like intelligent rostering, constraint-based planning, route optimization, and scheduling automation. The solution reduced manual decision-making, aligned workforce availability with task needs, and ensured real-time planning flexibility.

To address IBOT’s rostering challenges, a modular, intelligent planning system was developed using cutting-edge Java technologies and constraint-solving algorithms.

Key Highlights:

• Constraint-Based Planning Engine: Utilized OptaPlanner (9.44.0.Final) to handle complex scheduling problems with variable constraints across tasks, availability, and routing.
• Modular Architecture: Components like the Maintenance App, Task App, Routing App, and Scheduling App interact through structured APIs, allowing scalable expansion.
• Efficient Data Handling: Java Spring Boot v3.3.8 and Java 17 provide the application with performance optimization, modularity, and enterprise-grade robustness
• User-Centric Planning Dashboard: Provided planners with a unified view to visualize, assign, and adjust resource schedules in real-time.
