Unlock the true value of your Supply Chain

December 12, 2015

A logistics network’s design can have a significant impact on the environment. Transportation and delivery management decisions have vital energy and air emissions implications. Sustainable logistics aims to systematically decrease the environmental burden of transportation and supply chains, offering various ways to reduce costs and environmental emissions.

Smart highways reduce congestion and save lives

whitePaper | July 14, 2022

The good news is that developments in ITS, the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advances in exciting areas such as driverless cars and vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication will help alleviate congestion, reduce accidents and increase safety. As states struggle to balance funding priorities, including transportation, ITS technology and the emerging IoT ecosystem can enhance investments in transportation infrastructure, which is critical to the economic and social fabric of the U.S. and safe travel. For example, active traffic management, which includes advance notice about traffic conditions to motorists using variable speed limits, lane management signs and overhead message signs, has reduced collisions and congestion in the Seattle I-5 corridor. Similar initiatives are emerging elsewhere. Around the world the ITS ecosystem is making a difference.

Production Forecasting for Mining Operations with Simulation

whitePaper | May 17, 2022

Effectively managing the delivery of ore through the “pit-to-port operations” from the mining pit, through the plant, to the port where it is loaded onto a ship is a difficult task. It involves the management of discrete teams from the mining operation, plant operations, loading hauling, rail, port operations, marketing, and shipping. Most of these teams are driven by key performance indicators (KPIs) that focus on the group's performance that in some cases is not aligned to the overall efficient pit-to-port operation. For instance, the objective of minimising rehandling cost at the run of mine (ROM) could impact final product quality when loaded onto a ship. For efficient and effective pit-to-port operations it is important to effectively balance the trade-off between each groups operations to maximise profit whilst minimising risk.

ENHANCING CONTAINER TERMINAL OPERATIONS

whitePaper | November 30, 2022

Ports and terminals have become increasingly automated, necessitating accurate and reliable technologies to keep operations running smoothly while protecting personnel safety. Avoiding collisions is especially critical to prevent potentially hazardous accidents, costly downtime, and damage to equipment. LiDAR solutions enable safety, security, and efficiency at ports and terminals around the world. With powerful 3D visualisation, long ranges, and resilience to the harshest environment day or night, 3D LiDAR sensors solve a wide range of critical applications including positioning, navigation and collision avoidance, bulk material profiling, and perimeter security and intrusion detection.

Supply chain reinvention What you need to start and stop now

whitePaper | October 26, 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic was a test of supply chain resiliency and most organizations fell short. Before COVID-19, global supply chains ticked a lot of boxes: lower labor and operating costs, wider product ranges and greater reach to new markets. But the vulnerabilities and visible failures of global supply chains during COVID-19 were there for all to see. Lead times expanded exponentially. Manufacturing capacity stalled. Ports became congested. Transportation ground to a halt. Excessive reliance on one location or one supplier caused a domino effect of expensive downtime along the line
