How Artificial Intelligence is transforming Logistics operations?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the talking point across the Logistics spectrum. Be it Air or Maritime, the Logistics industry was held back by rigid processes. Anyhow, in the recent past, the dynamics began to change.

Some say AI is the future. But it is already changing the market dynamics to a large extent. Transformation is taking place at a faster pace than one could imagine. Here are the key benefits the Logistics industry stakeholders are reaping with the power of AI through UPLIFT.

End-to-end tracking

Be it developed or developing countries, the case of manual intervention in Logistics functions exists everywhere. Cargo Handlers came up with a software suite to manage their operations, but they weren't aware of what was happening on the Airlines or customs side.

In between all this, the Forwarder cannot see real-time freight movement after a point. Due to this communication gap, there is an unprecedented delay in overall operations. AI enables geofencing, electronic seals, bar codes and QR codes for end-to-end tracking of milestones. This means a Forwarder can see the freight movement in regions beyond their control and be sure the freight leaves the origin on time.

Triggering information in advance

Whenever a trucker brings a large pile of freight to the terminal, he is subject to a longer waiting time. This is because a large number of truckers are already waiting at the terminal. Here the gap is the need for more advanced information and demand planning. Predictive analysis is a unique module of AI.

With this, understanding future opportunities and challenges are realised, which makes way for planning tasks dynamically. Therefore, a trucker can book a specific slot and take the freight when other trucks aren't at the terminal. Cargo Handler is ready with essential resources to handle the exact freight capacity.
