Would this work for a painting company that has crews that paint residential houses?
Yes, but you might want an end user application for that (one that uses Timefold underneat to automate the planning) instead of directly using our API.
@@GeoffreyDeSmet I'd love to talk more with you about that. What would the best way to set up a meeting be?
Love from morocco, i'm an intern and have to work on a project with timefold
We @SportsPlusApp are counting on Timefold for youth sports scheduling to make it easy organizing sports.
This is truly surprising, but I have a question: Can Timefold run on a standalone machine without internet access?
Yes, we support airgapped installations.
When I try local host, it throws error and doesn't create anything viewable, what are some extra dependencies we might need
What's the error you get? It should just work out of the box. Maybe you're running an old Java version? We need Java 17 or later.
You guys are wizards, absolutely incredible software ❤
Thanks for the video. I have been checking TimeFold since coming across it! is it possible to use it for appointment services? Thanks
The Field Service Routing API supports recommendTimeWindow, to help recommend the best time windows for new appointments being booked.
I will like to try timefold to help with scheduling timetable for student. And scheduling employees. Not sure whether it suits my app. Thanks
Both these cases have a quickstart in timefold-quickstarts (open source). If you're looking to solve an advanced, big employee scheduling case, we offer an employee scheduling REST api as a paid service too.
Great!!!
Seems like in github the branch of timefold-quickstarts does not contain the path use-cases/vehicle-routing-time-windows. Where can i get the source ?
it is urgent bro, please share
It's now under use-cases/vehicle-routing
Hi, CAN you give it in Python?
Soon!
Where can I find Timefold Academy? 😊 Is it a different name for the documentation?
Excellent!

I am working on vehicle routing problem as a thesis and I should implement a swarm metaheuristic for solving capacited vehicle routing problem ... Can you help me if u can
This is incredible!
Thanks! We also have more advanced implementations that cover other constraints, such as lunch breaks, max driving time, real maps integration, etc.
Thank you for the explanation . Please share the working code in git
See also the links in the description :)
Is it possible to schedule the times with extra conditions. Like a real time weather forecast? So if like its sunny ill need more people working because we expect more customers?
You would do that by creating more shifts in the input to the shift schedule solver. You'll probably need continuous planning or real-time planing (see our other videos), because many industries have a publish notice of 4 to 6 weeks and weather is the weather forecast is only 2 weeks. So you'd schedule the baseline shifts 4-6 weeks in advance and then add in extra shifts due to weather forecast a few days in advance. And one level higher than that is doing virtual assignments in the schedule that only activate 2 days in advance if and only if the weather will be good. This way, you don't paint yourself in a corner with the baseline schedule.
Amazing thanks
Thats a great demo Geoffrey De Smet. BTW I am solving the same problem with single vehicle and have a requirement where in vehicle should work withing 9am-6pm window and customer visits coming after 6pm should start next day. Kindly advise what changes to do in this sample. Many thanks
I would allow visits to be unassigned (with allowsUnassigned=true coming in 1.8.0) and introduce a medium score to minimize the number of unassigned visits. Clearly, this visit after 6PM is unscheduable without breaking hard constraints, so it would be pushed to the next day.
thx :) my question: why I don't need to annotate or bind somehow the MyContraintProvider?
The Spring Boot starter scans the classpath of your app package (which is a small fraction of the classpath) for the @PlanningEntity annotated class(es) and the ConstraintProvider implementing class. So it finds them automatically.
Another Microsoft and another C#
nice! thanks for uploading
This is very impressive! I have some questions regarding disruptive rescheduling while adding new jobs. I'm sending a quote to a customer and i want to add a delivery date. Let's say we also have an agreement to always deliver within 4 weeks. I want to get the date as quickly as possible. Would you suggest using the recommended fit api and then continuously optimise the model week by week or re-run the full model on the 4 coming weeks?
This is awesome, I have almost decade of experience in software development but never know something like this could be implemented in easy way. Thanks.
Can I use it for a hotel operation?
Absolutely. You can tailor it to employee shift scheduling for hotels, or create a new Timefold model to deal with guest to room scheduling in hotels (similar to the hospital bed planning example in Timefold).
Do we have full support for Kotlin + Springboot? We have a use case and tried the POC in java and works well. We are planning to go with Kotlin + Springboot?
Yes, full support for Kotin + Spring Boot. In the timefold-quickstarts repo, take a look at the folder technology, you'll find a kotlin quickstart and a spring boot quickstarts there. Enjoy!
@@GeoffreyDeSmetThanks for the prompt reply.. this helps a lot!
Can a constraint be added so that every employee works for an equal number of hours? (Or atleast a similar number of hours)
Hi! Yes, there's a fairness constraint that handles this very specific use case. Our tennis club example shows how to do fairness. timefold.ai/docs/timefold-solver/latest/use-cases-and-examples/tennis-scheduling/tennis-scheduling

Thanks, great product. Nice tutorials. It would be, however, nice to have a bit more coding tutorials (as it was doen with VRP), because that is where the real customization happens.
Thanks for the feedback. We will make some more coding tutorial videos too.
@@GeoffreyDeSmet Thanks! The last two videos helped me a lot.
Hoping I can easily upgrade the base OptaWeb project as easily as this. It's built on OptaPlanner-8.24.1, within its backend.
Loved it.

This is literally the most exciting video I've watched all year! AMAZING!!! And this is open source, and the example is already written for you!!! ❤
Hi , Great job with the upgrade !! I have been following optaplanner for a while and this is a great new however been 3 months still i haven't figured it out to open the app . I am more intrested to try the Job shop scheduling use case but i am not a coder i am a intern engineer and i would like to try out the automated scheduling . i just dont know how to run the application. I installed the Java file and downloaded the optaplanner file still unable to run. i was hoping starting the Timefold app will be easier. Please help me .
Timefold/OptaPlanner is an API for developers. For Timefold we're working on options to make it easier for non-programmers to consume it. What are the constraints in your Job Shop Scheduling problem?
i been using your optaplanner on earlier version which still using drool file on my current application which previous developer left the company. I still learning this and hope i can master this course. BTW, keep posting..
You put multithreading behind a paywall? That's a bummer.
Yes. To continue the project, we need to be able to pay the developers. We all need to put food on the table :) Small and medium use cases don't use multi-threading solving. So it's a good incentive for large companies who make a large revenues on top of Timefold-OptaPlanner to share some of that to fund the open source development.
I have created VRP with Pickup and delivery with Optaplanner and it running since a year. Your solution is very stable. I was use Drools but the next version we shall take premium version of Timefold. Thank you an God bless you.
Great work Geoffrey. Really excited to see this new direction progress.
Thanks Jarrod!
Thank you for Optaplanner and Timefold.
You're welcome :)
I'm excited to see you continue the great work you've been doing in the past years by contributing an awesome solver to the open source community. But how come timefold does twice as many calculations when it's almost the same codebase?
I would like to know this as well, especially considering that multithreaded solving is now locked behind the enterprise license. How can such a drastic speedup be explained?
I think it is caused by Drools not being part of the dependencies any more and using Bavet by default which offers a native java implementation of the constraints api.
@@marcelthimm9160 But the same things can be done in optaplanner, no?
I don't know. For sure you can use Bavet, but I don't know through how many hoops you would have to jump to load it w/o drools dependencies in the class path.

I thank you very much for taking over and continuing this development and I am looking forward to this new dynamic. I wish you every success.
Thanks Didier. With videos like this, and more structured documentation, we intent to make it easier to learn both beginner and advanced planning techniques.
Beyond the actual content (which is great you are the man) humbly let me suggest: use blanket to cut off reverbs, and your greenscreen is way better than mug shots 👏👏 awesomely well clear made video!! 🚀🌜
Good idea! Thanks Matteo :) Credit to our video editor for the visuals/lights/effects/etc. The reverb in the sound was a lot, lot worse originally, but she improved it a lot during editing.
