LTL Optimization in Building Materials Logistics

From cement bags to drainage coils, from a concrete manhole to a pack of screws, LTL planning is a tough challenge. Being able to take fast turns in transport planning can mean the difference between winning or losing the daily race against the clock.

On-Demand-Webinar

Machine Learning in Building Materials Logistics

Cement, ready-mix, and aggregates logistics are facing a major overhaul. Traditional tools and processes are being enhanced or replaced by Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Algorithms are challenging long-established practices.

The Simple Maths of Load Carrier Management

Subtracting and adding load carriers or balancing their demand and supply seems to be a simple exercise. But in the daily grind of asset pooling this often turns out to be a complex calculation with various unknowns.

Under The Hood: CO2 Reduction in Cement Logistics

CO2 reduction in the cement industry focuses mainly on production processes. Logistics and transport, however, are also a relevant source of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. Compared to cement production, logistics are a low hanging fruit.
