Show HN: Rastion – Autonomous Monitoring Systems

I built a collection of live monitoring systems that connect to your business data and continuously send optimization recommendations via email. No dashboards to check, no software to install – just automated insights delivered to your inbox.

What it does: • Workforce Scheduling Monitor – Connects to employee databases, optimizes shift assignments, emails scheduling recommendations (20-25% labor cost reduction) • Inventory Optimization Tracker – Monitors stock levels, calculates optimal reorder points using EOQ algorithms, emails purchase recommendations (15-30% inventory cost reduction) • Route Optimization Monitor – Analyzes delivery routes, solves Vehicle Routing Problems with Time Windows, emails route improvements (10-20% fuel cost reduction)

The key insight: Most optimization tools require you to log in, check dashboards, and manually act on insights. These systems flip that – they actively monitor your data and proactively send actionable recommendations when opportunities are detected.

Technical approach: Mathematical optimization algorithms (integer programming, constraint satisfaction, genetic algorithms) n8n workflows for automation and data pipeline orchestration Google Sheets integration for easy data connectivity Email delivery for zero-friction consumption of insights Continuous monitoring with configurable alert thresholds

Built this after realizing that most optimization solutions gather dust because they require too much manual intervention. These systems make optimization truly passive – they work in the background and only interrupt you when there's money to be saved. Would love feedback from the HN community, especially from anyone running operations where these types of optimizations could help!
