Modern supply chains generate a torrent of data from various systems. Lygos acts as the central nervous system, integrating these data streams to provide a single, unified view of the entire logistics network.
Picture a global logistics provider's control tower, where a vast Lygos video wall displays a holistic view of the supply chain.
- Live Global Shipments: : The Maps Module visualizes the real-time location of ships, planes, and trucks across the globe. Color coded icons can indicate shipment status on time, delayed, or at risk allowing for immediate intervention.
- Supplier Performance Dashboards: Procurement system data can be connected to the Data Module as data sources, and then visualized through the Visualization Module to display key supllier metrics such as on time delivery rates and material quality. This enables proactive management of supplier relationships and mitigates potential disruptions.
- External Data Integration: Through the Media Module, dashboards from external platforms like Tableau or PowerBI can be seamlessly embedded, showing in depth analytics on landed costs, freight cost per unit, and other critical financial metrics.
This comprehensive overview allows logistics managers to move from a reactive to a proactive stance, anticipating disruptions and making informed decisions to keep the supply chain moving smoothly.
Efficient warehouse operations are the backbone of any successful logistics enterprise. Lygos helps transform raw warehouse data into actionable insights, driving productivity and accuracy.
Inside a distribution center, a Lygos dashboard provides the warehouse manager with a real-time pulse of the facility's operations:
- Inventory Levels and Turnover: The Data Module integrates with the Warehouse Management System (WMS) to display live inventory levels, turnover rates, and stock to sales ratios with the Visualization Module. Visual alerts can be configured to flag low stock or aging inventory.
- Order Fulfillment KPIs: The Visualization Module tracks the perfect order rate by monitoring on time, complete, damage free, and accurately documented shipments. This helps identify and address bottlenecks in the picking, packing, and shipping processes.
- Live Camera Feeds: The Media Module streams live video from security and operational cameras within the facility, enhancing security and allowing managers to visually monitor workflows and safety compliance.
By having this critical information displayed centrally, warehouse managers can optimize space utilization, reduce carrying costs, and ensure high levels of order accuracy and customer satisfaction.
Effective fleet management is crucial for minimizing costs and ensuring timely deliveries. Lygos provides the tools to monitor fleet performance, optimize routes, and respond to on the ground realities in real-time.
A transportation manager at a large retail company uses a Lygos video wall to oversee their entire delivery fleet:
- Real-Time Vehicle Tracking: The Maps Module, fed by telematics and GPS data from the fleet, displays the exact location, speed, and status of every delivery vehicle.
- Route Performance Analysis: By integrating with the Transportation Management System (TMS), the Visualization Module can display dashboards comparing planned vs. actual routes, highlighting delays, and analyzing fuel consumption to identify cost saving opportunities.
- External Information Feeds: The Media Module can be configured to show live weather radar, traffic conditions, and news feeds, providing crucial context that might impact delivery schedules.
- The Control Module enables multiple operators to interact with the data simultaneously, fostering collaborative problem solving.
- The Signage and Presentation Modules can be used to loop through key performance indicators and present strategic plans to the entire operations team, ensuring everyone is aligned.
This centralized and data rich environment, visualized on a video wall with custom configurations by Display Module, allows for dynamic rerouting, proactive communication with drivers and customers about delays, and continuous improvement of the transportation network's efficiency.
