Optimization: Challenges and Opportunities

Meghesh Saini
Optimization powers efficiency, cost savings, and performance across industries. Yet traditional digital methods struggle with scalability, speed, and energy use. As systems grow more complex, new approaches are needed. Physics-inspired and hybrid analog-digital computing offer faster, more sustainable solutions. Vellex is pioneering this frontier with a platform that leverages natural dynamics to solve problems in milliseconds while consuming minimal power. From EV fleets to healthcare scheduling, our solutions enable industries to achieve real-time, scalable, and energy-efficient optimization.
