The solution will be enabled by Predix, the operating system for the industrial internet and will connect shippers and transport operators by providing real-time, data-driven insights on the status of shipments.
The solution will take laborious processes, like payment, customs and inspection, from paper to digital, and create an on-demand solution for transporting the 13 thousand containers and 620 thousand tons of goods delivered across Africa by Transnet each day. Africa’s intra-continental trade has nearly doubled since 1995, and the increasing volume of goods moving through the supply chain is creating transportation and logistical complexities that slow down shipments.
