Logistics Advisor

What is Logistics Advisor?

• Hazmat Compliance Officer. Movement of Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) and Dangerous Goods (DG) represents the apex of operational complexity. A single missing placard or incorrect UN number results in "frustrated cargo," massive fines, and indefinite impoundment. Serves as an always-on compliance officer ingesting, analyzing, and acting upon safety data with algorithmic precision.
• MSDS Intelligence. Uses NLP to read unstructured Material Safety Data Sheets instantly. Extracts UN Numbers, Packing Groups, and Flashpoints. Validates against IMDG Code, IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, and 49 CFR. Manages dynamic constraints like Ashdod Port's "direct delivery" model for bromine and ammonia (cargo loaded onto trucks immediately upon discharge).
• Route Compliance. Continuously scans for route-specific restrictions - tunnels banning hazmat classes, geopolitical zones with embargoes on dual-use chemicals. Automates permitting and optimizes routes based on regulatory compliance rather than just speed.
• Proactive Safety. Replaces reactive "firefighting" with predictive "secure-by-design" methodology, allowing chemical, battery, and pharmaceutical exporters to scale without scaling liability.

Replaces:

• Manual MSDS Review - eliminates line-by-line human verification of Safety Data Sheets.
• Segregation Table Checks - automates cross-referencing incompatible goods (oxidizers away from flammables).
• Manual Permit Filing - automates hazardous materials declarations to local authorities.
• Direct Delivery Coordination - synchronizes trucking and vessel schedules for "no storage" ports.
• Reactive Incident Reporting - shifts to proactive real-time safety monitoring.

Why Logistics Advisor?

• Mitigate Catastrophic Risk. Automated compliance checks reduce error rates to below 1%, significantly outperforming human accuracy (3-5%). Ensures every container is correctly placarded, declared, and segregated per IMDG or ADR rules. Protects from catastrophic fines, environmental liability, and reputational damage.
• Master Complex Port Protocols. Ports tighten dangerous goods regulations to decongest terminals. Autonomously manages "direct delivery" workflows, coordinating immediate drayage to comply. Prevents cargo rejection, saves thousands in demurrage and return-shipping costs.
• Accelerate Permitting Velocity. Integrates directly with regulatory portals to automate permit generation and submission. Reduces administrative lead time for hazmat bookings, ensuring medical isotopes and industrial chemicals aren't delayed by paperwork.
• Optimize Compliant Routing. Analyzes routes against hazmat restrictions database (tunnel codes, urban transit bans). Recommends optimal paths balancing speed with regulatory adherence. Prevents en-route stoppages and ensures predictable delivery windows.

How It Works

1. Intelligent Data Ingestion. Ingests booking data and MSDS files. Uses NLP and OCR to extract chemical composition, UN number, hazard class, and packing group. Validates against intended transport mode (Air/Sea/Road) for packaging requirements.
2. Regulatory Cross-Referencing. Queries global regulations (IMDG, IATA, ADR) and carrier restrictions. Checks segregation requirements - Class 1 explosives not with Class 3 flammables. Verifies destination-specific rules like dual-use chemical import licenses.
3. Operational Orchestration. For "direct delivery" shipments, identifies vessel ETA and schedules certified hazmat carrier at dock. Generates dangerous goods declaration (DGD) and transmits to carrier and port authority.
4. Real-Time Safety Monitoring. Monitors via IoT sensors and carrier updates. Alerts if shipment reroutes to ports not accepting that hazard class or if temperature excursions occur for volatile compounds.
