There are a few standards to fill the shopping bags. One of the classroom examples of a problem for AI is filling the shopping bag with groceries and cosmetics. You will keep milk, oil, and different fluids at the highest point of the bag. You will independently pack things like toilet cleaners and so on. Assuming there are also vegetables, tomato goes last into the sack. These are rules to be kept while filling the shopping bag. Also, justifiably, AI is about such standards.

Problem 1:

We are taking a business scenario in the logistics Industry. It is often required that the fill space of a container or a lorry is properly utilized so that the filling is optimal. (I’m expecting that the truck is to be loaded up with shipments of different sizes and loads) It is additionally justifiable that manual stuffing can never be the most ideal. The standards of stuffing are as per the following.

  • The heavier things will be at the base. The load will be equally spread over the whole container with the goal that there is no unjustifiable stress on a couple of the tires and the truck is uniformly loaded.
  • There will not be any air pockets which is an immediate waste.
  • In the event that the shipping is for various areas, the thing to be unloaded first will be stacked into the compartment as the last one.

Problem 2:

There is one more scenario in a similar logistics domain. Allow us to say, there are two individuals A and B, loading their containers who are at the two ends of the same road. The compartment limit, let us say for a moment is 10 tons each. A and B both have shipments of 5 tons each for locations L1 and L2. What’s more, A and B don’t have the foggiest idea about one another. So under current circumstances, there will be two trucks heading out to L1 and L2. This is again a sheer wastage of assets. In the event that A and B know one another’s status, they can arrange so that one truck goes to L1 and one more to L1 bringing about huge savings for the two of them.

Problem 3:

A client needs to send a package to area L3 and he moves toward carrier A. Carrier A says that he can deliver solely after 4 days since he is yet to collect sufficient packages for Location L3. In the meantime Transporter, C has a truck prepared to leave L3 and he can deliver it by the following day.

You might inquire as to why I am talking about three issues all the while? In the event that any infrastructure can tackle different issues for similar clients or gathering of clients, then it is cost saving. So I will introduce a technical solution that will tackle these issues for the logistics domain.

The days have gone when we were residing like isolated people or enterprises. The days have come when we need to work together, help one another and develop. So I will propose this answer for the logistic community and not really for any single enterprise. The hidden innovation which I will propose is situated in Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence.

This is a door-door service. Packages will be picked up from the doorstep of a sender and delivered to the representative at his doorstep. As you can expect, the consignor needs to install an application on his mobile. He needs to take photos of the shipment, its aspects, its weight, and shipper and consignee addresses. This information will be transferred to our framework which we have named BICA ( Combination of Blockchain and AI). Prior to giving a statement, BICA needs to do a great deal of work. Coming up next are the portion of the works BICA will do prior to accepting the consignment.

  1. It needs to total every one of the bundles, implied for the sender areas, and estimate the hour of leaving of the truck.
  2. It needs to estimate the time expected to pick up the transfer.
  3. It needs to evaluate where precisely this package will be stuffed.
  4. BICA needs to anticipate ease of transportation at the consignee address.

Depending upon the above parameters, BICA will give a report, likely pickup and transportation time. Upon affirmation, the transfer will be reserved. BICA needs to plan the delivery, by evaluating different pickups on the way. It needs to design packing and ease of transportation as well.

Every one of the trucks will have GPS. BICA knows, which transfer is in which truck and thus can offer live location details of the consignment.

One might inquire as to why blockchain. Blockchain is completely safe and secure. Let us assume if somebody tries to hack the whole framework, then the entire effort will come to halt. So blockchain has been picked as a technology to execute.

Rather than individual giving support to another individual, now it becomes a community giving service to the entire community or a nation. In the meanwhile, if any single enterprise takes up the idea and implements it, then it is doom for the entire logistics community too.
