Avathon Launches AI Platform for Liquid Bulk Logistics

Avathon has launched Autonomy for Logistics Planning, an AI platform aimed at enhancing operations in liquid bulk logistics, announced in a press release. Initially developed for a major oil and gas company, the platform is now available for broader use across various liquid bulk logistics networks, including rail tank cars, tanker trucks, and storage terminals.

The platform leverages AI optimization technology to improve fleet planning and execution, offering significant time and cost savings. It integrates data from diverse sources, automates fleet scheduling, and uses reinforcement learning for dynamic optimization. This approach allows for the creation of 'what if' scenarios to evaluate trade-offs and manage risks effectively.

Avathon's solution is designed to handle the complexities of liquid bulk logistics, which account for nearly 40% of maritime volume and involve hazardous materials. The platform has already optimized billions of liters of shipments and thousands of voyages, demonstrating its capability to enhance efficiency and profitability in the logistics sector.
