Optilogic Launches Cosmic Frog, the Industry’s First 100% SaaS-based Supply Chain Design Solution

The only design technology combining optimization, simulation, and risk engines in one intuitive solution

Optilogic Launches Cosmic Frog, the Industry’s First 100% SaaS-based Supply Chain Design Solution

[ANN ARBOR, November 8, 2022] Supply chain software company Optilogic announced the general release of its next-generation Cosmic Frog supply chain design software. Cosmic Frog positions Optilogic as a new leader in the supply chain design market by empowering organizations to design supply chain networks in a cloud-native environment.

Continual disruption has exposed the fragility of supply chains which were designed for low cost at high risk. The next-generation supply chain design approach enables businesses to evaluate trade-offs across financial performance, service, and systemic risk to predict the best designs.


The Cosmic Frog solution enables optimization, simulation, and risk analysis across an end-to-end supply chain in a single platform, equipping businesses to make more informed decisions beyond just cost. And by providing a risk rating on every scenario run, Cosmic Frog helps companies proactively minimize risk and volatility.

Traditional supply chain design technologies have complex user interfaces, require costly capital and IT investment, and have lengthy implementation processes. Optilogic’s Cosmic Frog is a cloud-native, intuitive solution that can tackle enterprise data at scale, run models faster than ever, convert legacy models quickly, and be implemented with ease.

Founded by LLamasoft founder and former CEO, Donald A. Hicks, Optilogic has brought together a global team of the world’s most experienced supply chain experts and engineers.

“The launch of Cosmic Frog marks a new era for supply chain technology and the supply chain design field,” said Hicks. “It’s the end of the previous path and a new starting point to move beyond optimization and into design as a strategic capability to keep companies alive and thriving in the most challenging, dynamic environments.”

With over 25 pilot projects and early adoption customers, Optilogic’s Cosmic Frog is already transforming how enterprises are doing supply chain design. When compared to customers’ previous supply chain design software, Cosmic Frog was able to dramatically reduce model solve times, reduce procurement costs by many multiples, and onboard supply chain design teams in a matter of minutes.

“We had an overall lack of knowledge of our supply chain network. We really didn’t understand what our true cost drivers were–where we were winning and losing,” said Brett Barnello, Chief Supply Chain Officer at AmerCareRoyal. “Our service implications weren’t really known. This was where Optilogic’s use of optimization and simulation allowed us to get a true understanding and to design our network towards our future growth ambitions.”

Cosmic Frog is available worldwide via browser–standard accounts are free. Visit www.Optilogic.com/product to create your account.

Hamilton Caster Appoints Andrew D. Stamp as Director of Sales

Hamilton Caster & Mfg. Co., a 117-year-old industry leader in heavy-duty industrial casters, proudly announces the enhancement of its legacy Super Endurance Caster (SEC) series, now rebranded as the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series. In addition, Hamilton is introducing the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster (ZFSEC2) series, both of which feature a new heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal designed to elevate performance in the most demanding environments.
The Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster (ZFSEC) series replaces Hamilton’s legacy SEC series, setting a new benchmark for kingpinless caster design in extra heavy-duty applications. Central to this upgrade is the heavy-duty 'V-Style' seal, which offers protection against dirt, debris, and moisture. This advanced sealing technology ensures consistent performance and extends the life of the caster, making it the ideal choice for environments where reliability is critical.
"With the introduction of the V-Style seal, the ZFSEC series is engineered to withstand the harshest conditions while providing zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free operation," said Mark Lippert, president of Hamilton Caster. "This enhancement allows our customers to minimize maintenance costs and downtime, further solidifying Hamilton’s reputation for durability and dependability."
The ZFSEC series retains the robust construction that Hamilton is known for, including a swivel top plate and inner raceway made from forged steel, providing superior strength for shock conditions. Sealed precision ball bearings are also now standard in all wheels, contributing to the maintenance-free performance of the series. Notably, the zerk fittings have been eliminated, as the new design makes them unnecessary.
Complementing the ZFSEC series, Hamilton introduces the all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Wheel Caster (ZFSEC2) series. This dual wheel series is engineered for extra heavy-duty applications where stability, durability, and maintenance-free operation are paramount. Like its counterpart, the ZFSEC2 series leverages the new 'V-Style' seal, ensuring that each caster is fully protected against contaminants that could compromise performance.
Combined with sealed precision ball wheel bearings, this caster series ensures zero-fix, 100% maintenance-free performance. The dual-wheel configuration enhances stability and allows for a lower overall height, offering a perfect blend of strength and maneuverability.
Casters in both series are finished in a durable HAA polyester platinum powder coat and are available in a wide variety of wheel types, allowing for customization based on application needs. For complete wheel specs and product details check out the Spinfinity® Super Endurance Caster Landing Page and all-new Spinfinity® Super Endurance Dual Caster Landing Page.

New Horizon Releases Innovative Functionality for Optimizing Inbound Logistics Scheduling at DCs

ACTON, Massachusetts – September 3, 2024 – New Horizon Soft, LLC (https://www.newhorizon.ai), a global leader in AI-powered supply chain planning software, announced today the release of a new version of its Buyers Workbench procurement planning software. The latest version includes the ability to optimally schedule inbound deliveries, taking into account distribution center (DC) receiving capacity, thus minimizing receiving bottlenecks and lowering inbound logistics costs. A research paper describing the innovative methodology and its deployment at an iconic $10B+ U.S. quick-service restaurant chain was recently published in the peer-reviewed academic journal, the International Journal of Operations Research and Information Systems.

Supply chain organizations typically plan purchase orders without regard to DC receiving capacity. This leads to bottlenecks on some days and underutilized staff on others. New Horizon’s methodology, called Master Purchasing Receipt Scheduling (MPRS), uses a novel algorithm to automatically and optimally schedule deliveries. The algorithm plans deliveries at the time of purchase order creation and results in a steady volume of deliveries and lower planning and logistics costs. While first deployed at a restaurant chain, the methodology is applicable to any manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer, or foodservice company operating high-velocity DCs.
