Challenges
Time, volume & variety
The food and beverage industry faces extreme challenges: short shelf lives, strict temperature requirements, and tight time frames. In the beer industry, these challenges are compounded by complex palletizing processes, the coordination of deliveries to multiple locations, and highly fluctuating demand. Without intelligent systems, blind spots arise that lead to high costs and missed deliveries.
Products
From loading to routing
3D Load Space Optimization
With this solution, you not only reduce empty runs, but also plan your deliveries in a way that perfectly balances physical constraints and costs—all of which is visualized in 3D.
Features at a glance:
- Intelligent load calculation: Takes into account axle loads, stackability, palletization, and legal requirements.
- 3D visualization: Shows the optimal load capacity for each transport—clear and verifiable.
- Automated consolidation: Combines demand from various delivery schedules for maximum efficiency.
- Integration into route planning: Combines load optimization with dynamic route calculation for FTL, LTL, and milkrun shipments.
Route Optimization
This module reduces the number of trips, increases capacity utilization, and schedules your deliveries so that they are perfectly aligned from both a financial and operational perspective.
Features at a glance:
- Dynamic route planning: For FTL, LTL, and milkrun shipments—tailored to current needs and restrictions.
- Freight rate optimization: Simultaneous consideration of costs, capacity utilization, and TCO.
- Integration with load planning: Links optimal loading with the most efficient route.
Palletizing
The software reduces handling costs and increases capacity utilization and all without any manual Tetris-style stacking.
Features:
- Automated calculation: For safe and space-saving palletizing.
- Integration into load space planning: Seamless connection to 3D visualization.
- Consideration of restrictions: weight, stability, and legal requirements.
- Increased efficiency: fewer transshipments, faster loading, and safer transport.
Success Story
From palletizing to delivery
Mohrenbräu, a long-established private brewery in Vorarlberg, is using AI to revolutionize the planning process for outbound shipments. By incorporating palletizing at the start of the process, the AI on the S2data Platform calculates the optimal load configuration right at the loading dock. This not only speeds up the process but also reduces the number of shipments required.
