Logistics Tech Shorts: Machine Learning in Building Materials Logistics

Logistics in the cement, ready-mix, and aggregates industry is facing a major overhaul. Traditional tools and processes are being enhanced or replaced by Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

When it comes to automated decision-making in transport planning, algorithms are pushing and challenging long-established mindsets and practices.

In this Logistics Tech Short we’ll explore how Machine Learning (ML) can help dispatchers in the cement, ready-mix, and aggregates business to further optimize their planning processes.

1. The common pitfalls in ML projects
2. The basic technology behind ML
3. How to drive an ML project forward
4. A proven best practice from the ready-mix industry
