Fill all the nooks and crannies in your unit load devices (ULDs) to ship as much cargo as efficiently as possible. With Unisys Logistics Optimization, you can plan optimally loaded pallets and ULDs in near-real-time with 3D visualizations.

Airlines, ground handlers and freight forwarders can slash the time it takes to build and load vehicles, maximizing overall capacity and revenue with cutting-edge load optimization functionality.

Solution benefits:

• Deliver optimal ULDs build plans in near-real-time: Effortlessly create load plans for every ULD on every flight or truckload, helping maximize overall aircraft capacity and revenue with the automated build plan feature.
• Respond swiftly to disruptions: Mark exceptions and initiate a seamless rebuild of ULDs, ensuring operations continue smoothly without compromising revenue, compliance or on-time performance.
• Speed up your operations: Harness the power of quantum computing, AI and advanced analytics to track exceptions better, help avoid safety issues and load ULDs more quickly and efficiently.

Optimizing routing for 15 nodes and three vehicles would take about seven years with traditional logistics routing methods. Unisys' pre-trained models — powered by quantum annealing — solved the same problem in just seven seconds.

Evaluate data elements, business objectives and constraints before assigning shipments to their optimal flight with Unisys Logistics Optimization. By leveraging historical data and third-party APIs, the solution builds smarter routing logic that optimizes revenue and maximizes utilization. It incorporates shipment density and weather-related exceptions and minimizes the number of times a ULD is rebuilt during stops along the path to its destination.

• Boost revenue: Maximize your revenue potential with Unisys Logistics Optimization’s intelligent routing logic that considers factors like shipment density to help ensure each flight is utilized efficiently.
• Unclog operations: Streamline your route planning process with advanced algorithms and data-driven insights, so you can quickly assign shipments to their optimal flights to assist in meeting on-time delivery deadlines.
• Meet on-time performance expectations: Reduce the number of ULD and pallet rebuilds your warehouse staff must plan and build, saving you time and moving cargo more efficiently.
• Increase adaptability and flexibility: Seamlessly adjust route planning when flight disruptions and cancellations occur based on real-time data.

Find and access your cargo with ease. With Unisys Logistics Optimization, you can accurately predict cargo demand so that inventory is in the right place at the right time.

The solution’s advanced algorithms and data-driven insights optimize how cargo is stored in your warehouses, helping you ensure frequently accessed items are strategically placed for quick retrieval, reducing picking and retrieval times. By analyzing factors like cargo dimensions, weight and frequency of access, Unisys Logistics Optimization identifies the most efficient storage configurations that maximize free space and minimize wasted areas.

Solution benefits:

• Increase storage capacity: Maximize your available space by intelligently organizing cargo and eliminating wasted areas.
• Improve operational efficiency: Minimize the risk of errors and misplaced items, helping to ensure smooth and accurate inventory management and improved on-time delivery performance.
• Enhance customer satisfaction: Fulfill orders faster and more accurately with easy access to well-organized cargo.
