OpEra: The AI decision engine for factories, warehouses and fleets
Decision engine that builds an optimization model from a factory's, warehouse's or fleet's own data, then re-plans schedules, routes and allocations when told about a change in plain words.
OpEra (Opera Technologies Inc.) connects to a company's existing systems (WMS, ERP, Excel), maps how the operation runs and writes a mathematical model for one planning decision: production schedules, warehouse plans or delivery routes. When a machine breaks or a worker calls in sick, the planner describes the change and the plan is recomputed. Its stated engagement is one week to learn the decision, one week to backtest it on the client's own history, a four-week pilot on live data, then two weeks to go live. The founders, Hindy Rossignol (CEO) and Bernardo Chalita (CTO), met at MIT's Operations Research Center. The company is backed by Y Combinator and launched on Launch YC on 2026-10-22. Funding amount and revenue: not disclosed.
