When we shift focus from passenger transport to freight delivery, the discussion changes significantly. In our last webinar, we covered the topic of creating a frictionless border, which is crucial for clearing customs in international freight shipping. Freight transport, including the management of vehicles, drivers, and long-haul shipments, can be optimised using transport management systems and other tools. However, the area that offers the most potential for cost optimisation and control is the last-mile delivery.

Within bus services planning, one key advantage is the flexibility of bus routes. Unlike fixed rail routes, buses can take alternative paths when there are road closures. However, buses also face challenges like traffic congestion, which they can't control, as they share the road with other vehicles.

Railway planning involves long-term and short-term optimisation strategies to ensure efficiency, profitability, and sustainability, all while addressing immediate challenges and customer needs.

Translink teamed up with Anaeko for this year’s ‘Generation Innovation’ work experience programme to challenge young people to come up with a data-driven solution to enhance active travel across Northern Ireland.

The overall theme of our recent webinar on AI data transformation focused on creating a safer, more efficient, and sustainable supply chain and logistics. At Anaeko, we work with transport and logistics companies to help them analyse and share data effectively.

Catch up on the second part of our latest AI and Data Transformation for Supply Chain and Logistics webinar where we had guest speaker Kieran Kelly from ubloquity speak around how AI and BlockChain are creating a frictionless path for your goods across the supply chain. He took us on a digital journey of goods from a single trusted source of truth.

Welcome David Crangle, Head of Fleet Sales from Simplicity Group.

Fleet efficiency is the foundation of successful fleet management. Today, vehicles in fleets up and down the country are likely to have at least some form of camera and telematics system installed.  The transport and logistics industry is no different.

There’s no doubt that telematics and CCTV can have huge cost savings for any fleet, but using the right system and getting the most out of it, isn’t always easy.

Anaeko and our partner Octopus Deploy held an event in the iconic Hilton Hotel in Belfast, exploring the challenges from start-up to enterprise when implementing an effective deployment strategy. The event brought together many from the growing DevOps community across Ireland, with some executive team members and senior engineers also in the audience. 

We heard from Michéle Johl, IT Engineering Manager at Unily. Michéle explored how Unily went from a start-up solution to an enterprise-level SaaS platform using Octopus to deploy their platform for clients, with lessons learnt:
