Prescriptive Analytics and Decision Optimization Webinar (PRADO)

Event

Marion Technical Writer June 6, 2025

Hexaly is proud to participate in the Prescriptive Analytics and Decision Optimization Webinar (PRADO), a monthly online event that brings together leading voices from industry and academia to discuss the latest in Operations Research, Mathematical Optimization, and Decision Analytics. The full program and sign-up to receive access to upcoming talks can be accessed here.

Don’t miss the session on July 25, 2025: Fred Gardi, Founder & CEO of Hexaly, will explain what Hexaly is precisely, in comparison with traditional Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) and Constraint Programming (CP) solvers, and the difference it makes when solving problems like Routing, Scheduling, Packing, Clustering, Assignment, Matching, Location, and many others in Supply Chain and Workforce Optimization. Below is the abstract of Fred’s talk at the Prescriptive Analytics and Decision Optimization Webinar (PRADO):

Hexaly: A New Kind of Global Optimization Solver

Hexaly is a new kind of global optimization solver. Hexaly APIs unify modeling concepts from mixed-linear programming, nonlinear programming, and constraint programming. Its modeling interface is nonlinear and set-oriented. It also supports user-coded functions, thus enabling black-box optimization and, more particularly, simulation optimization. Under the hood, Hexaly combines various exact and heuristic optimization methods: spatial branch-and-bound, simplex methods, interior-point methods, automatic Dantzig-Wolfe reformulation, column and row generation, propagation methods, local search, population-based methods, and surrogate modeling techniques for black-box optimization. We illustrate these new modeling concepts on the seminal Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), thus offering natural and compact modeling of the problem and performance on par with Concorde, the renowned TSP solver.

The Prescriptive Analytics and Decision Optimization Webinar (PRADO) is a must-attend for anyone passionate about real-world optimization, featuring case studies, expert talks, and engaging discussions every month.
