Lunch & Learn | AI & Planning Optimization

Join us for an inspiring Lunch & Learn session focused on how AI is transforming operational planning — from transport terminals and workforce management to dynamic scheduling and routing. Discover practical use cases and innovations that drives efficiency through smart planning solutions.

Agenda & Speakers

🔹 Infofarm: Tracking Containers & Optimising Planning
Infofarm will share a real-world AI case from Van Moer, where they equipped a stacker vehicle with a smart camera system that detects and tracks individual containers in a terminal. This continuous inventory insight feeds directly into planning tools, offering real-time visibility into container locations and improving logistical decision-making.

🔹 Timefold – AI-Driven Planning Engine
Timefold offers a robust planning optimization engine ideal for complex scenarios like employee shift scheduling and field service routing. Whether you're scheduling teams in shifts or coordinating maintenance tasks across a port (think terminal container planning, bridge repairs or dock equipment failures), Timefold's engine adapts and optimizes based on your constraints and goals.

🔹 Dashdoc – User-Friendly Transport Planning
Dashdoc has developed a powerful yet intuitive Transport Management System (TMS) with built-in planning features. Easily drag-and-drop orders, manage by driver or vehicle, track unavailabilities like vehicle maintenance or driver absences, and benefit from a clear, color-coded planning interface tailored to your needs.
