Transportation Optimization
Ensuring optimal quality of products during transportation and delivery
Challenges
Depending upon the types of goods they produce, manufacturers have to ensure that they arrive in good condition. According to the Food and Agricultural Organizations of the United Nations, approximately 40% of food is lost on average in post-harvest and processing stages, in developing countries. This obviously impacts the food manufacturing, processing and transportation companies. Moreover, most industrial manufacturers are sensitive to increases in any transportation cost.
Opportunity
Quality management of products through the transit is crucial. Manufacturers can predict the quality of their products under given transit conditions, hence giving them the opportunity to improve refrigeration (for perishable products) or optimize routes (for raw materials and finished goods). AI based transportation optimization leverages route information, weather data, fuel cost and other such factors to arrive at the best possible route as well as to predict the quality of goods at the destination.

Related Case Studies
I am very excited to use the H2O Driverless AI because prior to it, we used to spend weeks hyperparameter tuning etc., but with Driverless AI, one experiment takes just a few hours.”
Wei Shao, Data Scientist, Hortifrut
AI means many things to many people and it's also in a hype cycle. People want some very quick results with significant advantages. From our advantage point, when we look at AI we see it as a mix of technologies. (...) So when we look at a POC, our angle of conversation is whether we can provide a quick ROI by doing the POC. It's a three-step process that we do as a company for a quick return on investment. But for any other customer, one is the data prep. Second is Driverless Ai, which is where we have a significant value.”
