Descartes Unveils Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Enhancements to Routing, Mobile & Telematics Suite
06 October 2021 - 9:45PM
Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq: DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader
in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, unveiled
artificial intelligence (AI)- and machine learning (ML)-based
enhancements to its Routing Mobile & Telematics suite. The
enhancements help customers achieve outstanding optimization
results and learn from real-world outcomes to maximize fleet
performance.
“Descartes has a long history of innovation, including robotic
process automation for standardization and automation of route
planning processes, elastic cloud optimization to scale for large
fleet operations and same-day route optimization to dynamically
promise time-definite same-day deliveries,” said Sergio Torres,
Senior Vice President at Descartes. “Our AI- and ML-based
enhancements are indicative of our continued efforts to enhance our
routing solutions to simplify and automate configuration and system
tuning for greater model accuracy and improved operational
results.”
The AI and ML enhancements include:
- Descartes AI Advisor™, an intelligent configuration and
monitoring module, emulates Descartes’ route optimization experts’
knowledge. After walking the customer through a series of
questions, Descartes AI Advisor automatically configures
optimization settings and parameters. This simplifies and
accelerates the configuration process. Configuration scenarios are
compared to determine the best route optimization strategies to
meet business goals. AI-Advisor can evaluate the results of the
system in operation and recommend configurations changes to
maintain optimal performance.
- Machine learning algorithms have been applied to location,
transit and stop-time calculations. Predictions for these key
performance factors are continuously refined by monitoring
real-world outcomes from mobile and Internet of Things (IoT)
sources in combination with influencing variables. Tens of
thousands of data points and variables are evaluated continuously
to make learned adjustments to improve route planning accuracy and
execute more predictable and efficient routes.
“AI and ML are perfect extensions to our advanced route
optimization and execution capabilities,” said Ken Wood, Executive
Vice President at Descartes. “From dynamic delivery appointment
scheduling through planning and real-time route execution, we’ve
used AI and ML to improve our ability to deliver the next level of
fleet performance for customers.”
