| Postal and logistics network planning - PlanOp | ||||||||
Graphic views
One of the key features of PlanOp is its extensive use of network visualisation aids for providing rapid insight into the operations. Click on the thumbnails below for a full screen image. Graphic view - Data Visualisation Tools 
PlanOp has a variety of comprehensive data visualisation tools to facilitate data input and result analysis. The central graph shows the amounts of each product type arriving at a mail centre at different times of night. The pie chart shows the breakdown of volumes by product type.
The diagram is a configurable layout of a transport network. Once all the boxes are dragged and dropped into position by the user, PlanOp assists by placing in all the links between them. The links show transport connections at different times of the day. The diagram can also be animated to gain an understanding of the time dimension. Graphic view - Track Plans with map
The track plans are a complex overlay of data that can be visualised using maps. This view shows an assortment of product routings in a region of New Zealand. The map can also be animated to gain an understanding of the time dimension. 
The diagram shows the interconnections of transports by focusing on a user defined "trunk" of continuous services. Missed or tight connections can be highlighted in red.
The zig zag diagram shows a space-time view of flights during the day or night. Pop up windows show what mix of products each flight is carrying and congestions at an airport can be easily identified.
