Domain 03 · Logistics

Movement, priority, decision authority.

Logistics is not a routing problem. It is a coordination problem at fleet scale, in real time, against a constantly shifting set of priorities. The cognitive layer turns a fleet of moving units into a single reasoning system.

01 — Where static automation breaks

Throughput collapses at the edges, not the centre.

Modern fleets handle the steady state. They struggle when priorities flip mid-shift, when a lane closes, when a pick face empties, when a cross-dock window shortens. Local optimisation accumulates into global congestion.

/ 01

Fleet awareness

Continuous picture of every unit, its task, its load, its intent — across the entire floor.

/ 02

Priority arbitration

Live arbitration of conflicting priorities — orders, exceptions, hand-offs, deadlines.

/ 03

Congestion resolution

Resolve corridor and intersection congestion before it becomes a queue, not after.

/ 04

WMS integration

Bidirectional reasoning with the WMS — fleet feedback influences the order plan, not just the other way round.

02 — Operational scenario

A priority shipment is added mid-shift.

Scenario

Late high-priority order

A high-priority order enters the queue ninety minutes before cut-off. Half its SKUs are at the far aisle. Two of the closest units are mid-pick on lower-priority work.

STEP 01Re-rank tasks across the fleet against the new deadline and dependency graph.
STEP 02Hand off in-flight work to nearby units without idling the line.
STEP 03Reserve corridor and dock-door capacity ahead of arrival.
STEP 04Surface the trade-off to the floor manager with the alternative options ranked.

Logistics · Outcome

A fleet that reasons, not a swarm that moves.
