DP World
Global logistics and supply chain
60+ countries, managing over 26,000 container slots daily
Digitally transform yard management to optimize placement, cut costs, and enable real-time decision-making at scale.
Random placement caused inefficient capacity usage and complex retrieval.
Containers were moved multiple times before dispatch, wasting time and fuel.
Static rules couldn’t adapt to import/export segregation or traffic surges.
Fuel, labor, and equipment maintenance costs escalated without added value.
Manual evaluation slowed placement and retrieval in high-volume operations.
Automatically categorizes imports, exports, and empties for faster retrieval.
AI scored proximity, level, and distance to select the best-fit slots.
Grouped placements by zones (A, B, C) to streamline future dispatch.
Reduced re-handling by avoiding high-level stacking when lower slots were available.
Multi-layered scoring balanced accessibility, efficiency, and long-term optimization.
A scalable design, utilizing Django, Redis, and REST APIs, ensured real-time performance across over 26,000 slots.
Built AI and ML algorithms for real-time optimization.
Simulated thousands of yard configurations for best-fit strategies.
Developed a secure, maintainable operator interface.
Enabled high-speed data storage for real-time container scoring.
Connected systems seamlessly for scalability.
Reduced shuffling by evaluating container slot placement.
Structured grouping by container type and priority.
Optimized yard utilization with intelligent grouping of containers.
Reduced unnecessary re-handling, cutting down fuel use and labor hours.
Enabled agile operations with wise segregation of import, export, and empty containers.
Lower operational costs through reduced fuel, labor, and equipment strain.
Real-time placement decisions powered by AI-driven scoring models.
Containers grouped logically, maximizing slot usage and reducing congestion.
Intelligent scoring cuts re-handling, saving time, fuel, and labor.
Adapted to import/export/empty needs and sudden yard traffic changes.
Reduced fuel, labor, and equipment wear brought down operating expenses.
Placement decisions are automated in real time, freeing operators from manual evaluation
