HUB 360: Smart logistics For Manufacturing Companies
What is smart logistics? Well, it's a term that refers to the enhancement of logistics and transportation systems in their ability to gain an overall picture of manufacturing organisations. This improvement comes through an improvement in the analysis of decision-making for informed execution by leveraging intelligent hardware.
This intelligent hardware can contain an array of established and emerging technologies, including elements like the Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data. These smart systems help to improve intelligence and levels of automation across an entire transportation system.
The Characteristics & Benefits of Smart Logistics Transportation
Smart logistics optimisation through the use of smart technology is having a significant and positive influence on the transportation sector. In terms of costs, project spending can be meaningfully reduced, increasing your return on investment.
These technologies offer a range of benefits:
Reduced inventory levels
Enhanced employee efficiency
Improved availability of products
Increased utilisation of assets
Reduced costs of infrastructure
The process of logistics improvement is ongoing for many companies. From start to finish, from manufacturing to customer delivery, optimisation takes every element into consideration, including:
Routes for transportation
Modes of transportation
Warehouse processing
Capacity of workers
Storage capacity
More than ever, smart logistics technology is making a difference for manufacturers, and it's continuing to evolve over the entire supply chain, making it easier and easier to improve load efficiency and consolidate shipments.
Lower Carbon Emissions
Having a tighter grip on logistics through the use of AI-based matching models results in optimal routes being identified, and the number of half-empty trucks many journeys is significantly reduced. As a result, carbon emissions and costs are reduced - good news for any manufacturing business.
However, optimising operations in this way is only possible when real-time data is provided in order that fast, accurate decisions can be made. That's where the HUB360 platform comes into its own, allowing performance issues to be highlighted at all stages of the supply chain.
HUB360 - Planning, Routing & Logistics Optimisation Made Easy
The HUB360 platform has software that makes the optimisation of planning, routing and logistics a much simpler process. Companies who use their own delivery fleet or 3rd part/contract hauliers to deliver goods on their behalf can use our software's innovative features to take their operation to the next level.
Our platform is built specifically to meet the needs of manufacturing companies, both optimising & digitally-transforming legacy, paper-based order fulfilment & delivery processes.
