Samsara showcased over a dozen AI-powered solutions, including AI Multicam for enhanced operational safety, Weather Intelligence for better route planning, and AI-driven asset tags that generate rich data streams for improved asset tracking. Their solutions address challenges such as fuel fraud with QR codes and flexible rules for verification, thus preventing loss and fraud.
BackOps, an AI operations platform winner, focuses on solving inefficiencies in manual logistics labor by automating processes, reducing human error, and cutting costs associated with labor-intensive tasks.
The use of digital twins combined with AI and computer vision technologies enables real-time simulation and monitoring of supply chain assets and operations, improving responsiveness and strategic planning. Digital twin models can be shared across partners to generate new services and revenue streams while facilitating smarter, more autonomous processes.
Autonomous trucking systems developed by firms like Kodiak Robotics integrate AI to scale up truck automation, aiming to increase efficiency and safety in transportation.
These AI applications provide critical benefits such as increased operational safety through AI-driven monitoring and driver assistance tools, enhanced efficiency and productivity via automation of labor-intensive logistics tasks, improved asset tracking and fraud prevention with digital and AI-enabled tagging systems, better decision-making from real-time visibility and predictive analytics offered by digital twins and AI computer vision, and streamlined transportation through autonomous vehicle technologies.
HappyRobot's AI solution automates 40-90% of inbound carrier phone calls and booking tasks for freight brokers, reducing fraud risk. Qued's AI predicts optimal slots based on real-time data like ETAs and facility capacity, reducing no-shows by 90% and increasing on-time performance by 25%.
CoPallet is integrated into existing TMS, WMS, or ERP systems, executes tasks end-to-end with guaranteed outputs, and boosts throughput by up to 10x. fleetworks' AI agent acts as an always-on carrier rep for brokers, sourcing capacity from over 5,000 trucks.
OTRintelligence, an AI audit engine by OTR Solutions, automates invoice validation, fraud detection, and payment processing for carriers and brokers, approving over 80% of invoices in seconds, reducing fraud incidents, and cutting write-offs from 4% to under 1%.
CloneOps.ai minimizes fraud exposure, enhances response times, and scales operations efficiently by handling up to 70% of inbound calls and reducing carrier vetting time by 95%.
The awards recognise companies using artificial intelligence to revolutionise supply chain, transportation, and logistics operations, driving smarter, more automated, and reliable supply chains and logistics networks. These innovations are helping reduce costs, improve service levels, and adapt to evolving market demands.
C.H. Robinson has over 30 generative AI agents that automate shipping tasks across truckload and LTL freight. fleetworks reduces procurement costs by 1% and boosts booking velocity by 10%. project44's AI-powered tool, AI Disruption Navigator, provides personalised, real-time disruption insights for shipments.
CloneOps.ai was honoured for its conversational AI platform tailored for logistics, automating communications across phone, email, and text. The collective impact of these innovations is driving a future where smarter, more automated, and reliable supply chains and logistics networks are the norm.
