Agents Enable Adaptive Execution.

Classical planning systems are based on historical data from which results are aggregated into general tendencies such as averages, future developments are estimated and a plan of action is devised. The higher the volatility of daily demand, the harder it is for planning systems to provide accurate supply.

Real-Time Adjustment

Our Adaptive Transportation Network solution (ATN) is a transport optimization solution within a greater set of adaptive logistics solutions. Based on distributed real time technology, ATN’s software agents represent optimizable business objects, e.g. trucks, warehouses, orders, and service levels. After gathering information about their environment, these agents make goal-oriented decisions and perform delegated optimization and execution actions.

ATN can flexibly adjust daily transportation capacity and capability to actual demand. Its local decision-making capability skirts the limitations of centralized planning systems by changing the complexity of top-down optimization to bottom-up. This parallel processing can significantly impact operational costs as well as strengthen customer service levels, and improve the timeliness of results to near real-time.

The Continuous Optimizer

In a transportation and logistics network, optimized transport capacity utilization is one of the most critical levels for profitability. Our ATN solution helps global and regional companies improve their overall productivity by using Agent Technology to balance supply and demand issues, increase communication across the network, and reduce response times.

We partner with leading providers of multi-agent based software platforms to build intelligent transportation solutions such as ATN.  We also provide the product strategy, new algorithms and proven delivery methodologies—from a process, technology and organizational perspective—to jointly develop the agent products and supply chain solutions.

Implementing an adaptive transportation network provides:

  • Real-Time Visibility and Event-Based Execution—automating the earliest possible treatment of daily plan deviation for greater success.
  • Enhanced collaborations—establishing flexible connections between partners and seamless integration of the network.
  • Event-level optimization—achieving multiple objectives to help turn unplanned events into profit and disclose hidden opportunities.
