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.
