OPTARION OptaLog
Optimising aircraft availabilityThe challenge
Logistics is no longer just a support function but a decisive operational capability.
In modern missions, success depends not only on platform performance but on the ability to synchronize material, personnel, and processes across time and space.
Traditional logistics systems are fragmented, siloed, and disconnected, limiting operational effectiveness.
Our solution
OptaLog by HENSOLDT is a platform-independent, ERP-agnostic logistics orchestration layer that transforms fragmented supply chains into a continuous, mission-driven operational flow. It creates end-to-end visibility across supply chains, inventories, and maintenance activities, enabling cross-platform coordination for mixed fleets and heterogeneous environments.
OptaLog overcomes fragmentation by harmonizing maintenance and supply concepts and integrating seamlessly into multinational and civil-military operations. Acting as an integration layer, it connects existing ERP systems (e.g., SAP-based SASPF), national logistics solutions, and legacy maintenance systems without replacing them, synchronizing data flows and reducing manual efforts.
Within the OPTARION ecosystem, OptaLog links directly to OptaMission, OptaFEP, and OptaTOC, creating a closed operational loop where mission demand drives logistics, logistics constraints shape planning, and real-time updates influence execution. It shifts logistics from reactive to predictive through demand forecasting, dynamic inventory optimization, early bottleneck detection, and scenario-based planning.
Designed for continuous adaptation, OptaLog enables real-time alignment with mission changes, automated process synchronization, and proactive maintenance and supply chain coordination. Built on Software-Defined Defence principles, it offers modularity, scalability, and long-term adaptability. Proven in distributed, high-tempo operations, OptaLog ensures no delays, no redundant stockpiling, and no blind spots in supply chains, delivering integrated, platform-independent, predictive, and mission-driven logistics orchestration.
