DB Schenker introduces an AI-powered cargo monitoring tool
DB Schenker has introduced Ocean Bridge, an AI-powered solution for monitoring cargo throughout its ocean journey. The tool provides customers with real-time, detailed insights at the vessel, shipment, and container level in ocean freight. Through an interactive map, Ocean Bridge displays AI-generated data on estimated departure, berthing, and arrival times, along with complete port rotation details for vessels along their service loops.
The platform offers comprehensive visibility into maritime operations, enabling customers to manage their supply chains more efficiently and avoid unexpected transportation costs by adapting proactively to disruptions.
"Ocean Bridge empowers DB Schenker's customers to make informed decisions, significantly improving operational efficiency," said Thorsten Meincke, Member of the Management Board for Air & Ocean Freight at DB Schenker. He emphasized that the AI-driven tool represents a major advancement in maritime logistics technology, showcasing DB Schenker's commitment to innovation.
Eva Grieser, Director of Data Management & Architecture for Ocean Freight at DB Schenker, added, "By combining dynamic event chain data with AI, Ocean Bridge enables customers to take preventive measures before challenges arise, helping them avoid additional costs."
Ocean Bridge uses telematic data, including AIS (Automatic Identification System) positions and port rotation details, to generate reliable predictive schedules. Users can track vessel status, live locations, and estimated berthing and arrival times. This real-time visibility allows for effective planning and timely decision-making, particularly in the face of global disruptions that can lead to delays and costly setbacks.
