Throughput Analyzer

What is Throughput Analyzer?

• Predictive Control Tower. The Throughput Analyzer is an autonomous facility orchestration agent that continuously analyzes asset flow to optimize throughput capacity in real-time. It functions as a predictive control tower for marine terminals, distribution centers, and intermodal rail yards.
• The "Last Yard" Problem. Traditional yard management is static and reactive, relying on manual bookings that can't account for port strikes, weather events, or geopolitical shifts. Trucks idle for hours, containers incur demurrage fees, and warehouse docks remain empty due to missed appointments.
• Temporal Fusion Transformers. The agent fuses AIS vessel tracking, GPS telematics from drayage fleets, and historical shipment logs covering millions of TEUs. By constructing "spatio-temporal embeddings," it predicts bottlenecks days before they manifest at the gate.
• $38 Million Annual Savings. For mid-sized enterprises shipping 50,000 TEUs annually, predictive AI integration yields over $38 million in annual savings through reduced inventory financing costs and avoidance of emergency detours.

Replaces:

• Static spreadsheet-based dock door allocation.
• Chaotic "firefighting" when trucks miss slots.
• Retrospective reports on container dwell time.
• Visual gate queue checks by security guards.
• Manual capacity planning calculations.

Why Throughput Analyzer?

• Slash Downtime by 61%. Synchronizing asset arrivals with resource availability (labor, cranes, dock doors) eliminates friction that causes delays. Predictive AI systems reduce downtime by 61%, ensuring trucks turn around faster and goods move from dock to rack without interruption.
• 53-Hour Warning Window. Traditional systems alert managers to congestion only after it begins. The Throughput Analyzer provides 53-hour warning windows versus the 6-hour standard of legacy systems - a 9x advantage that allows strategic decisions before crises hit the gate.
• Reduce Detour Costs 58%. By optimizing flow and preventing gate queues, the agent cuts costly detours and expedited freight solutions by 58%. Minimizing truck idling also reduces disruption-related CO2 emissions by up to 75%.
• Unlock Working Capital. Reduced inventory holding costs and detention penalties release massive working capital. For mid-sized enterprises, these efficiencies generate over $38 million in annual savings - NPV of $146 million over five years.

How It Works

1. Multi-Modal Data Fusion. The agent ingests real-time streams from AIS (ocean vessels), GPS telematics (trucks/rail), and GDELT (geopolitical events). It harmonizes port codes and carrier identifiers to create a unified digital twin of inbound supply chains.
2. Spatio-Temporal Prediction. Using Temporal Fusion Transformers and Gradient-Boosted Decision Trees, the agent forecasts arrival times and congestion probabilities. It predicts precise ETAs and dwell risks rather than relying on inaccurate carrier-provided estimates.
3. Dynamic Resource Allocation. If a vessel is predicted delayed by 48 hours, the agent releases reserved dock slots to other carriers and rebooks delayed inventory for optimal future windows. It balances workload to maximize operational "density."
4. Prescriptive Execution. The Throughput Analyzer integrates with TMS via RESTful APIs to publish prescriptive actions: "Reroute shipment ID 123 to Warehouse B" or "Expedite rail transfer." Every decision is recorded on a blockchain-anchored audit trail.
