Machine learning,
where it moves the operating numbers.

We benchmark your operating decisions, then build production ML systems that improve them. Forecasting, optimization, anomaly detection, recommenders, pricing, and reinforcement-learning policies — engineered as systems, not notebooks.

Advisory + Solution Engineering

Where this practice moves the needle.

Most ML pilots stall in PowerPoint. The Pentaaxis machine-learning practice is structured around the discipline of getting models out of notebooks and into industrial production — with proper monitoring, drift detection, retraining cadence, and clear handover to operations. Our advisors benchmark first to identify which decisions actually pay back; our engineers ship code.

We are not religious about a single approach. Gradient-boosted ensembles for tabular forecasting. Bayesian hierarchies where uncertainty matters. Time-series transformers when long-range dependencies dominate. Reinforcement learning where decisions compound. Causal models when intervention requires it. The technology is selected for the problem.

MACHINE-LEARNING · IN PRACTICE
Core capabilities

What we build and deploy.

A working catalogue of the systems, models, and platforms our engineers ship within this practice — selected for industrial reliability, observability, and scale.

FC
Forecasting at scale

Hierarchical, probabilistic, multi-horizon forecasting for demand, capacity, energy, and pricing with reconciliation.

AD
Anomaly detection

Multivariate anomaly detection for sensor streams, transactions, network telemetry, and quality data.

OP
Optimization engines

MIP, constraint solvers, and metaheuristics for scheduling, routing, blending, and resource allocation.

RC
Recommender systems

Industrial recommenders for spare parts, replacement materials, supplier alternatives, engineering reuse.

PR
Pricing science

Dynamic pricing, price elasticity modelling, and offer optimization with bandit-based learning loops.

RL
Decision policies

Reinforcement-learning agents and contextual bandits that learn optimal control under uncertainty.

Use cases

Where this earns its place.

Representative deployments across our industrial client base. Each grounded in production engineering — not concept slides.

01
Demand
Hierarchical demand forecasting at SKU × store level

Probabilistic forecasts that respect business hierarchy, incorporate exogenous signals (price, promotion, weather, macro), and reconcile across temporal and product dimensions.

02
Inventory
Multi-echelon inventory optimization

Joint policies across DCs, regional warehouses, and points-of-sale that minimize working capital while protecting service levels under stochastic lead times.

03
Operations
Dynamic routing for last-mile and middle-mile

RL agents for dispatch, load consolidation, and carrier allocation that adapt to traffic, weather, and order arrivals in real time.

04
Pricing
B2B contract pricing engine

Recommend price points for industrial-customer quotes informed by win-rate models, competitor signals, cost-to-serve, and strategic-account policies.

05
Energy
Industrial load forecasting and demand response

Site-level load forecasts at 15-minute granularity that drive demand-response participation and tariff optimization.

06
Risk
Supplier-risk graph models

Graph neural networks that model multi-tier supplier exposure to financial, geopolitical, and operational risk with early-warning on disruption.

07
Yield
Process-control reinforcement learning

Closed-loop RL agents that optimize setpoints in batch and continuous processes, increasing yield while staying inside safety envelopes.

08
Workforce
Intelligent labour scheduling

Constraint-aware scheduling balancing skill, certification, fatigue, fairness, and demand — outperforming legacy heuristics.

Technology stack

Engineered on a production stack.

Tools, frameworks, and platforms our engineers use day-to-day in this practice.
