Enhanced Supply Chain Decision-Making
The physical environment is optimized utilizing data from our Warehouse and Transport Management Systems (WMS and TMS). Software based optimization tools are the workhorses that ensure the data collected can be turned into actionable insights that enhance decision-making.
Data Collection
- Multiple inputs – devices, robots, sensor
- Centralized into WMS/TMS
Algorithmic Analysis
- Data reviewed to derive insights
- Objective to optimize tasks and resources
Data Driven Decision-Making
- Route optimization
- Where best to place inventory in the warehouse
- Defining transport routes
Track and Monitor Assets Using Sensors (Internet of Things)
Knowing, at any point in time, where a certain product is in the supply chain, and what condition is it in, is critical for many industry sectors. For example, the assurance a vaccine has remained at the correct temperature throughout the entire supply chain is vital, along with information about exactly when the shipment is going to arrive.
Data-driven planning and decision-making for today, tomorrow and next year
Data leads to insights and allows for informed decision-making. By having insight into all the different items on an order, knowing how many employees are available and how many robots are active, a resource footprint can be fixed for the most efficient utilization. Data-driven plans could also be time-based – ensuring utilization of the right mix of resources to fulfill orders as fast as possible.
