Reduce glass breakage, contamination and stains in supply chain
For a speciality glass manufacturer
The Outcome
Client was able to improve quality assurance process because of real-time prediction of damage, contamination and stain risk for each glass shipment
Our solutions

Real-time sensing
- Tag360 MX sensor (vibrations, temperature, humidity and light) placed on each crate (about 7 per container)
- TagHub GO gateway is securely placed on one of the crates. It collects sensor data and GPS location and sends to cloud real-time via cellular network
- TagHub FX installed in plants and warehouses for dispatch and arrival handshakes

Insight and foresight
- Shock, temperature and humidity variations across loading, unloading and transit, including ports
- Correlation with damage, contamination and stains
- Logistics delays, their root cause and ETA prediction
- Product shock profile based on handling by warehouse staff and equipment

AI-driven actions
- Contextualized QA at destination based on defect risk
- Intelligent mode selection based on predicted defect risk at plant
Key benefits
- 25% reduction in Material Surface Loss (MSL) which includes all product defects during transit
- Multiple packaging and transit mode selection experiments to create proactive supply chain plan
- Warehouse process modifications to reduce handling shocks
