DNA - intelligent ready-to-use business evolution components
DNA Evolutions located in Ulm, Germany develops and sells flexible .NET as well as Java components as well as online services for various optimization tasks for transportation planning and mobile workforce scheduling. Worldwide DNA partners rely on DNA's scheduling and rapid decisioning technology - JOpt - to bring their customers outstanding solutions for strategic and operational taskforce planning within one single piece of software. Software vendors or IT service providers use DNA's software modules to complement and enhance products or projects with innovative and special expertise features such as automatic resource planning and route optimization.
JOpt - resource & route optimization for logistics, transportation & field forces
JOpt is a product-line to perform automatic resource planning and route optimization tasks. Based upon memetic algorithms the JOpt products are tailored to meet the requirements of various optimization problems for different industries. Our products JOpt.ASP, JOpt.SDK, JOpt.NET and JOpt.J2EE cover the full range from cost effective desktop solutions up to professional modules for modern enterprise service architectures. The JOpt product family can be customized by yourself or enhanced with DNA's best practice patterns for specific industries. JOpt will be the component or application of your choice if you are looking for:
- a .NET/ASP or Java/J2EE compliant resource & vehicle routing software component with a standard .NET, SOAP or API interface
- an adaptable component to solve VRP, CVRP and VRPTW class problems
- an optimization component or application with different constraints such as time windows, capacity, skills or others
DNA goes green - JOpt enables fleet operators to reduce overall carbon dioxide emission !
Since version 2.2.0 the JOpt Vehicle Routing Optimizer comes with a built in emission calculation and optimization scheme that allows fleet
operators to determine and optimize their overall carbon dioxide emission. Beside calculation of the overall and per route emissions, JOpt determines an optimum schedule with
optimum energy efficiency in terms 
of truck payload to empty ratio as well as overall road mileage. Hence vehicles are automatically dispatched in a way that leads to a minimum carbon dioxide emission. Of course all other planning objectives like time windows, load capacities, working times and so forth keep being satisfied as used to.
JOpt.ASP - optimization as a service
As from 2008/01/01 DNA has decided to fully commit themselfes to become a full blooded enabling technology provider. We are therefore proud to announce the completion of our new ASP.NET component JOpt.ASP that is a consistent advancement of JOpt.NET and exposes the unique JOpt vehicle routing capabilities via standard HTTP/SOAP interfaces.
JOpt.ASP has been designed for enterprise applications and webbased solutions that are based on ASP.NET. JOpt.ASP provides its optimization facilities through a stateful webservice that comes with a comfortable programming interface that is very similar to JOpt.NET. JOpt.ASP will bring you:
- Optimization as a service
- Flexible Vehicle Route Planning (VRP) features
- A Standard HTTP/SOAP interface
- Easy deployment into IIS
- Memetic algorithms already containing Tranportation and FieldService patterns
