OptiCore

OptiCore is a cross-disciplinary optimization platform designed to support decision-making in operations research and industrial engineering. It provides a modeling language, a solver engine, and APIs for major programming languages, enabling users to formulate and solve linear, integer, and combinatorial optimization problems. Built to scale from modest workloads to large live deployments, OptiCore emphasizes performance, reliability, and integration with enterprise data systems. It is commonly used in scenarios such as supply chain network design, vehicle routing, production planning, and workforce scheduling.

OptiCore originated in 2012 at OptiTech Labs as an internal toolkit to accelerate optimization tasks. It was released as a commercial product in 2015, with a focus on modular backends and cloud-native deployment. Over subsequent releases, it added distributed solving, multi-criteria optimization, and a cloud marketplace for solver backends.

Architecture and components are designed for flexibility and robustness. The platform consists of a core engine that coordinates modeling, data access, and solution management; a modeling language known as OptiDSL; and backend solvers, including an internal high-performance engine and connectors to external solvers. It supports parallel processing, multi-threading, and containerized deployment, enabling on-premises, cloud, or hybrid configurations.

Key features include automatic presolve, constraint propagation, and heuristic methods to improve solve efficiency; warm-start capabilities, sensitivity analysis, and solution visualization dashboards for result interpretation. OptiCore integrates with common data sources and enterprise workflows, facilitating end-to-end optimization cycles.

Reception to date notes strong performance and enterprise-friendly features, while some users cite licensing costs and a learning curve for newcomers. OptiCore is developed and maintained by OptiTech Ltd. and is used across manufacturing, logistics, and services sectors.
