Intelligent Monitoring
When Every Minute and Every Mile Counts, You Need Aggressive Logistics Management
How you control events in and out of the supply chain helps define your competitive advantage. Whether you own, manage or contribute to events in the chain, you can’t control what you can’t see. Inventory movements, available capacity, employee actions, traffic and even weather contribute to how you manage inventory in motion. Every minute and every mile counts. A passive approach to managing logistics is no longer an option when performance based logistics is defining the industry - that's where the power of complex event processing can help.
The Progress Apama Event Processing Platform monitors, analyzes and acts on your streaming data and events in real-time. It offers business views on relevant intelligence and gives the “right information to the right person at the right time," so you can manage your performance, while delivering bottom-line results.
With Apama, you can use complex event processing to deliver true operational responsiveness by correlating business-relevant events from warehouse, transportation and vehicle management systems as well as environmental data from sensors, GIS/GPS devices and RFID systems. Those events become meaningful when you can define rules that determine what actions can be taken based on your scenarios. User-defined and dynamic dashboards offer up real-time views of events that put you “in the moment.” The solution will enable you to:
- Direct and predict more effectively material, trucks, people etc. to places they are required
- Real-time track and trace inventory, people and equipment to optimize loading
- Develop scenarios that can perform time-based analysis, making it possible to act on events that occur within a certain timeframe
- Provide alerts when rules determine something is not moving as expected
- Have full visibility and automated matching of loads through route optimization (full load going and full load backhaul)
- Monitor accurate estimated time of arrivals (ETA) to docks and ports and automatically direct resources for
- Detect, in real-time, and automatically respond to supply chain
- Ensure optimal capacity usage
