Case Study
Quantum-inspired computing’s potential to raise yields
Bayer engaged in a proof of concept with Fujitsu’s Digital Transformation services, assessing the power of the quantum-inspired Digital Annealer to solve complex challenges relating to seed production planning and materials campaign scheduling. Bayer strives to create more robust supply chains and richer yields for farmers. Challenge As the leader in global seed production, Bayer constantly innovates to ensure the quality and availability of products for farmers. Increasing solution speed and scheduling are key and limited by conventional solvers. Solution Bayer experimented with quantum- inspired computing using Fujitsu’s Digital Annealer to increase the number and combination of variables that can simultaneously be processed – thereby optimizing seed production planning an
