Automated planning of transport routes

When planning truck routes, our customer was dependent on individual solutions. With a prototype that can be quickly and easily integrated into the existing infrastructure, we were able to optimize and standardize this process.

Task: Plan transport routes quickly and efficiently

One of our customer's core processes was a largely manual task: employees spent a lot of their time planning truck routes as efficiently as possible. A task that each user solved differently. Our goal was to standardize this process and thus save valuable resources.

Solution: Flexibly deployable prototype for automation

With the involvement of data scientists, internal business process analysts, and the users who would work with our solution, we developed an automation prototype that could be seamlessly integrated into the company's IT infrastructure.

We took over all phases of the project development - from the needs analysis to the planning and development of the prototype to the complete system integration and training of all employees who were to work with the finished solution.

Result: More efficient and user-friendly processes

We developed a reusable data science model that can be integrated into any infrastructure with little effort. Analyzing UI usage at an early stage helped us identify and integrate the most important functions in advance.

When it comes to automation processes, it is not always easy to reconcile the company's goals and the users' wishes. However, rapid iteration with fast feedback loops resulted in motivated prototype users and a solution that everyone is happy with.

Goals achieved

  • Conducting a user survey and an in-depth needs analysis beforehand

  • Planning incl. UI/UX Strategy, Dev Ops, Model Wrapping and Data Engineering

  • Development of an automation prototype and integration into the IT system

  • Training and consulting of the Data Scientists as well as all employees on site

Part 1: Detecting Truck Parking Lots on Satellite Images

Real-time truck tracking is crucial in logistics: to enable accurate planning and provide reliable estimation of delivery times, operators build detailed profiles of loading stations, providing expected durations of truck loading and unloading, as well as resting times. Yet, how to derive an exact truck status based on mere GPS signals?

State of Fast Feedback in Data Science Projects

DSML projects can be quite different from the software projects: a lot of R&D in a rapidly evolving landscape, working with data, distributions and probabilities instead of code. However, there is one thing in common: iterative development process matters a lot.
