Avathon Autonomy
for Logistics Planning

The Avathon Autonomy Platform leverages the power of AI to create globally optimal fleet schedules and real-time routing plans to maximize profitability and utilization of bulk shipping assets and commodities including maritime liquid bulk, rail tank cars, tanker trucks, and storage terminals.

Operating Plan

AI-driven planning for your assets and multi-modal fleet

Avathon transforms traditional, static operating plans into living, AI-driven systems. Powered by our Autonomy Platform, businesses realize immediate cost savings, efficiency gains, and stronger performance. Using a computational knowledge graph and reinforcement learning, our AI agents:
  • Map assets, schedules, constraints, risks, and dependencies
  • Diagnose performance variations and uncover root causes
  • Provide contextual insights to guide decisions
  • Optimize inventory, load/unload, and scheduling in real time
By unifying assets, schedules, constraints, risks, and dependencies into one dynamic plan, Avathon helps operators cut costs, maximize utilization, and drive profitability.

Logistics Planning

Logistics Planning is built on Avathon’s Autonomy Platform with a computational knowledge graph foundation that unifies fleet planning, scheduling, routing, management, and external rules and risk factors.
  • Integrates diverse enterprise system data sources for cargo, shipments, assets, weather, risks, constraints, and business rules across logistics operations
  • Automates planning and optimization of fleet schedules and asset utilization as the planning system of record
  • Develops rapid “what if” scenarios to evaluate trade-offs and risk-based resilience strategies. The preferred scenario can be seamlessly reviewed and approved – and even automated – for promotion to plan of record
  • Incorporates historic performance and real-time conditions to enable proactive diagnostics and prescription to autonomously manage exceptions and disruptions
  • Drives dynamic optimization with reinforcement learning instead of traditional static operations research techniques

Avathon dynamically evaluates critical factors across capacity, availability, compliance, and scheduling. Logistics Planning also accounts for fuel and maintenance costs, along with external risks such as weather, labor disruptions, and trade volatility.

Dashboard:
Your Central Command

The dashboard gives you a real-time, intelligent view of your transportation operations—tracking KPIs like cost, utilization, and efficiency, while an interactive global map delivers actionable insights to optimize routes and manage assets with confidence.

Fleet View:
Dynamic Oversight & Control

The Fleet View gives you a real-time, intelligent snapshot of transportation operations—visualizing vessel schedules, cargo assignments, and operational states for full situational awareness, while providing performance metrics and smart search tools to optimize logistics and asset management. 

Streamline Your Shipments:
Unified Logistics & Optimization

The Shipments module unifies cargo management with real-time tracking, giving you full visibility into shipment status, vessels, and schedules, while AI-driven optimization streamlines shipment creation and allocation for greater efficiency, value, and profitability. 

Audit Details:
Detailed Optimization Summary

The Summary tab delivers an at-a-glance view of optimization runs, highlighting KPIs like shipments, cost, volume, fleet utilization, and cost per barrel, while quantifying added value and efficiency to show exactly how operations met constraints and maximized performance.

Manage Fleet:
Complete Fleet Management

Avathon unifies cargo operations with real-time fleet visibility—showing total and available vessels, cargo, and status—while streamlined management tools let you track conditions, search instantly, and add vessels to expand capacity with ease.

Reports:
Actionable Insights

The Reports module turns operational data into actionable insights with specialized fleet and performance reports, intelligent alerts, and real-time monitoring—empowering timely decisions, follow-ups, and continuous improvement.

Optimization Audit:
Comprehensive Performance Review

The Optimization Audit delivers a clear summary of each run, highlighting KPIs like shipments, cost, volume, utilization, and cost per barrel—while quantifying value, efficiency, and shipment distribution to demonstrate real operational impact.

Captain’s Web Form:
On-Deck Operational Control

The Captain’s Web Form equips crews with a real-time interface to manage shipments, track vessel status, log activities, and compare planned vs. actual performance—ensuring accurate reporting, timely execution, and seamless data flow.
