02
AI-driven dock scheduling and transport planning
Due to the increasing demand for road freight transport, which is additionally fueled and accelerated by COVID-19, efficient supply chains are the key to meeting customer requirements. However, the supply chains are long, fragmented and often inflexible to short-term changes. While the digitization and introduction of new technologies has steadily increased in the processes in warehouses, other processes in warehouses such as scheduling and transport planning have not made the same progress. Managing the collection and return of cargo in warehouses is slow, manual, and inefficient. Warehouses and shippers waste hours per shipment waiting, paying heavy fines, and losing potential business. The SaaS solution from byways offers a fully automated planning system for logistics and supply chain management, connects logistics centers and forwarders / transporters. Cost savings and increase in warehouse and vehicle efficiency with the help of AI.

05
Manual Process Intelligence through wearables and AI
With their AI solution, Manual Process Intelligence (MPI), an automatic and anonymous analysis of manual work processes is possible. The MPI of MotionMiners equips employees in various areas of activity with mobile sensors and a smartphone. Localization is carried out anonymously via mobile sensors (wearables) and small radio transmitters (beacons). The beacons placed in the relevant storage areas, in conjunction with the smartphone, serve to locate the employees. The individual work steps are automatically reconstructed from the process data and made available for further analysis. The data collected in this way is analyzed with a highly specialized artificial intelligence, the "MotionMiners-AI", which processes all data with a pattern recognition solution based on machine learning. For this purpose, the movements, postures and also the work situation are detected and assigned to the tasks and regions in the work process.
The motion detection catalog currently includes more than 50 different activities, such as walking, waiting times per region / machine, picking, handling times per shelf, but also healthy and unhealthy stooping. The use of MPI is intended to enable holistic analysis and optimization of process efficiency and the recognition of ergonomic risks in production and logistics. The customer receives a full range of measurement equipment and access to an analysis dashboard. The measurable savings in previous projects were reportedly between 10 and 15 percent with peaks at 40 percent.
06
