Unlocking Logistics Efficiency with FLOX
)
Data-driven solutions in logistics are the key to unlocking efficiency, cost savings, and sustainability. FLOX, from Value Chain Lab, is at the forefront of this transformation, leveraging cutting-edge technology to optimise supply chain operations. Through in-depth research using Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) data, FLOX has uncovered significant opportunities for load collaboration across various vehicle types. These insights highlight the potential to reduce empty miles, enhance vehicle utilisation, and drive meaningful environmental impact, all while improving service quality and profitability for shippers and logistics providers.
Our Approach
Graph network analysis was employed to reconstruct and analyse the logistical chains within the provided dataset. In this context, a network is defined as a collection of nodes (points) interconnected by edges (lines), amenable to analysis as a graph network. The camera sightings of each vehicle were treated as the nodes within this network, and their corresponding timestamps provided crucial edge information and directionality for each pair of sightings. After reconstructing individual paths, the findings were amalgamated for a comprehensive path analysis.
