Milkrun Optimization Plus (Addresses)

This node can be used to calculate optimal routes for multiple days shipments. This node helps you to optimize your supply and/or delivery network. Consider constraints such as customer time windows, detailed vehicle, and capacity profiles to calculate an optimal transport plan.
For this node five input tables are needed. The first one contains the information of the depots. The second one contains the information of the vehicles. The third table contains all the information concerning the pickup and delivery of orders. The fourth table contains the time window profiles. The fifth table is used to define breaks, in case the vehicles should have any. Please specify the duration unit in the configuration dialogue.

In case input and output data need to be saved on the Log-hub Platform, please set save scenario flag to true, fill the workspace id for the workspace in which the scenario should be saved, and give name to the scenario. In case existing scenario should be overwritten, set the overwrite scenario flag also to true, otherwise leave to false.

To use this node you need an API Key from Log-hub Supply Chain Apps. This key you can generate with an Supply Chain Apps Pro Account. More information you can find on www.log-hub.com.
