Adapted system for 200 trucks
Origo has developed an advanced transport and navigation system which will use JLT computers. In phase one, 35 trucks will be computerised with large screens. - in total will 200 trucks use the new system. Standard systems have been found to be insufficient for the type of transports which are Origos core business. Instead a mix of software from IBS, Route Logix and customer specific solutions has been integrated.
Advanced integration
The challenges for Origo have been to create a dispatching and route optimizing system which really fi ts the requirements. Many addresses for unloading require advanced positioning. An own map engine is a significant part of the system. Primary task is to send driving orders to the trucks together with coordinates for unloading addresses. The system takes care of route optimization and efficient use the cargo capacity for each individual truck. Some transport tasks requires a crane or a forklift – the systems selects a truck with relevant equipment.
