Kinaxis Advances Large-Scale Supply Chain Optimization with NVIDIA AI16.3.2026 21:30:00 CET | Press release
Achieves up to 12X faster end-to-end planning performance in large-scale enterprise models Kinaxis® Inc. (TSX: KXS), a global leader in supply chain orchestration, today announced a new milestone in advancing large-scale supply chain optimization within the Kinaxis Maestro™ platform. Maestro already delivers high-performance optimization across complex global supply chains, and Kinaxis is now extending that leadership by leveraging GPU acceleration powered by NVIDIA cuOpt™ and NVIDIA AI infrastructure. As supply chains grow in scale and complexity, planning models must reconcile tens of millions of variables across extended time horizons and multiple planning levels. As model size expands, the number of potential decisions can scale into billions, dramatically increasing computational needs. Organizations are no longer constrained by insight alone. They are constrained by how quickly they can iterate. In testing on a large-scale semiconductor planning model with nearly 50 million decis
