Making sense of profit opportunities where business & technology intersect

Shippers want transparency from carriers, but what is it? https://t.co/KzswMnTCwR #shipping #logistics #visibility #data #transparency #supplychain

China #coal production from Zhundong increases to 150 MMT signaling less dependence on restarting Australian imports. This is the world’s largest deposit exceeding that of U.S. North Antelope Rochelle mine by over 200 times. https://t.co/oBRSIG6xN6

Processing Bill of Lading in cross border e-commerce logistics? One company using RPA to validate and submit BoLs now completes the BoL management process for 10,000 docs/hr without human intervention

Robo-processing is changing the #logistics business. Are you in? https://t.co/V3RNfzeAkc via @LinkedIn #automation #robotic #business #process #RPA

@LogTechEric Maybe those founders don't know how to sell their ideas & themselves (and a lot of that is about person selling themselves, not just that fantastic product they may be imagining/building). Pitching fantastic vision of VC's profitable exit is also not the strength of many founders

@b_parkyn @LogTechEric Prices up, but no chaos in trading. India took steps to limit exports. This was incorrectly reported in the media as a ban. India has confirmed that sales with active letters of credit will be allowed to proceed.

@WPSP_IAPH ? Just like weather, #predictability is really a scenario of probability. Unless any one provider owns all of the physical and logical assets needed to execute all services promised to their customer, the "predictability" will remain in the realm of the guesses

[Kris Kosmala @sureIQ]

difficult not to agree, #visibility confirmed by active sensors on the #equipment and the carrying #transport module allow precision that information predicted from other bits of data will never deliver, but the "in advance" is still going to be based on many guesses @WPSP_IAPH

[International Association of Ports & Harbors @WPSP_IAPH]

Underlying theme of moving from reactiveness to predictability already apparent in #CloseTheGaps opening keynotes at #IAPH2022

[Kris Kosmala @sureIQ]

#automation of #shipping terminal operations is inevitable as port after port is being asked to handle more volumes month after month. It is the volume of containers that drives need for more people, not the fact that more smart machinery is added to work along human #workforce

[Kris Kosmala @sureIQ]

To contract or to book spot? A question worth thousands of $$$. Are you looking for a 2022 crystal ball? It is not going to be a normal year when it comes to #freight #transport. #logistics #freight #procurement #supplychains #optimization. https://t.co/V7p7WMT14j via @LinkedIn

[Kris Kosmala @sureIQ]

Late but right. #Freight #Logistics #Optimization Works follows in footsteps of China's Logink and Australia's Freight Hub. Now use FMC to force the carriers into the scheme (congratulations to MSC for seeing the light early) https://t.co/satoT5aNnE

#Transport fleet – get your own or hire? As 3rd party providers struggle to fulfill unplanned expectations of their customers, the companies are tempted to build up their own road #freight capabilities https://t.co/Ay9kUeR4OZ

[Kris Kosmala @sureIQ]

#supplychains predictions by #AI? Still a long shot in my opinion. What's your thinking? #strategy #tactics #execution #planning #optimization https://t.co/3B7pOvOCNt via @LinkedIn

[Kris Kosmala @sureIQ]

Got challenged on some current and future issues affecting #logistics #SupplyChain and impact (or not) of #technology #innovation Do you think I got a few things right? Please let me know https://t.co/iV58CNZv1Z

Thermal #coal supply market is going through continuous re-alignment. Removal of Indonesian coal from the global market adds a suddenly new stress on Asian #economies relying on coal imports keep #energy generation cost in check https://t.co/IhsaMuoRvb

Will seafreight #shipping change as a result of pandemic? Which company had/has a better operational and #digitalization map? Or did it all come down to blind luck? https://t.co/RX4kjXUrDF #supplychain #logistics

[Kris Kosmala @sureIQ]

Money is chasing growth, even if it is only a remote promise. The #startup fundraising frenzy is continuing even though sentiment toward newly public startups has cooled, as markets are better at assessing promises. https://t.co/vmXy7mZyPi via @WSJ

Personal #medical records are up for grabs in every part of the world. Paired with personal #wellbeing data collected by #fitness monitors, the data trove is too rich to pass, as big tech companies stake out the land https://t.co/BgB3CM1VwS

[Kris Kosmala @sureIQ]

Each year U.S. #transport companies replace 9 out of every 10 long-haul truckers. That's a huge turnover for a #workforce of about 400,000. The industry’s constant churn is contributing to nationwide #supplychain disruptions, as freight idles and clogs up https://t.co/qDcyhieD4z

[Kris Kosmala @sureIQ]

African ports and railway projects must cater to bulk mineral exports and intermodal containerized imports for landlocked countries to get lower #logistics costs. Trucking is not a sustainable option https://t.co/HAORKiXIzO
