AutoScheduler.AI has introduced the Make-n-Ship warehouse optimization platform that optimizes loading products straight off the production line to better orchestrate production, warehousing and transportation plans. Moving production runs directly to a truck can help eliminate touches, help with labor shortages and reduce the need for storage space in a warehouse or distribution center located at the manufacturing site.
The platform:
● Creates transportation requirements days in advance so “best cost carriers” can be engaged.
● Reschedules transportation as production changes, aiming to match production schedules.
● Creates and transmits a recommended transportation plan.
● Updates hourly on the need and timing of trailers and inventory.
● Issues alerts, using the latest data and trailer availability to relay such warnings, as there will be a trailer shortage in two days.
● Updates a real-time deployment module to reflect the latest decisions on where to shift or store inventory.
