NEC Testing Quantum Computing To Improve Delivery of Maintenance Parts

Introduction to Quantum Computing

NEC begins testing quantum computing technologies to improve the delivery of maintenance parts

"NEC announced demonstration tests using quantum computing technology to improve the delivery efficiency of maintenance parts.  Specifically, when customer engineers are dispatched to perform on-site repair work, quantum computing technology will be used to formulate delivery plans for maintenance parts in line with CE dispatch plans.  Based on past data on parts delivery in the Tokyo metropolitan area, it has been calculated that delivery costs can be reduced by approximately 30% by reducing the number of delivery vehicles and shortening travel distances."
