关于客户
US Xpress, founded in 1985 and based in Chattanooga, is the fifth-largest asset-based truckload carrier in North America. The company has experienced significant growth, even during the global COVID-19 pandemic, by making strategic investments in automation and AI. As an essential business, US Xpress continued to hire aggressively while other companies were laying off staff. The company's focus on people and customer satisfaction, combined with creative use of technology, has driven its digital transformation and operational efficiency. US Xpress aims to create a powerful advantage in the hyper-competitive long-haul trucking industry.
挑战
US Xpress, a major player in the long-haul trucking industry, faces a significant challenge in recruiting qualified drivers. The industry is highly competitive, with a small candidate market and a general distrust of technology among potential recruits. The talent crisis is exacerbated by the growing demand for logistics services and a dwindling number of young people seeking careers in trucking. The American Trucking Association reported a 20% increase in the talent gap in 2018, resulting in 60,000 fewer drivers than open opportunities. US Xpress needed to find a new way to attract and retain drivers to stay competitive.
解决方案
US Xpress piloted a 'digital fleet' of trucks that are largely recruited, planned, dispatched, and managed using artificial intelligence and digital platforms. This initiative started as a conceptual hypothesis but quickly evolved into a significant part of the company's operations, with over 400 trucks currently part of the digital fleet. In April 2020, US Xpress partnered with Paradox to transform the driver recruiting experience. They implemented conversational assistive intelligence to create a mobile-first, seamless, and fast hiring process. The AI assistant can deliver recommended positions, capture candidate information, screen candidates in real-time, and automatically schedule interviews through API integration with other software platforms. This approach has dramatically simplified the candidate journey and reduced the burden on the recruiting process.

Case Study
Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.
Case Study
IoT-based Fleet Intelligence Innovation
Speed to market is precious for DRVR, a rapidly growing start-up company. With a business model dependent on reliable mobile data, managers were spending their lives trying to negotiate data roaming deals with mobile network operators in different countries. And, even then, service quality was a constant concern.
Case Study
Digitize Railway with Deutsche Bahn
To reduce maintenance costs and delay-causing failures for Deutsche Bahn. They need manual measurements by a position measurement system based on custom-made MEMS sensor clusters, which allow autonomous and continuous monitoring with wireless data transmission and long battery. They were looking for data pre-processing solution in the sensor and machine learning algorithms in the cloud so as to detect critical wear.
Case Study
Cold Chain Transportation and Refrigerated Fleet Management System
1) Create a digital connected transportation solution to retrofit cold chain trailers with real-time tracking and controls. 2) Prevent multi-million dollar losses due to theft or spoilage. 3) Deliver a digital chain-of-custody solution for door to door load monitoring and security. 4) Provide a trusted multi-fleet solution in a single application with granular data and access controls.
Case Study
Vehicle Fleet Analytics
Organizations frequently implement a maintenance strategy for their fleets of vehicles using a combination of time and usage based maintenance schedules. While effective as a whole, time and usage based schedules do not take into account driving patterns, environmental factors, and sensors currently deployed within the vehicle measuring crank voltage, ignition voltage, and acceleration, all of which have a significant influence on the overall health of the vehicle.In a typical fleet, a large percentage of road calls are related to electrical failure, with battery failure being a common cause. Battery failures result in unmet service agreement levels and costly re-adjustment of scheduled to provide replacement vehicles. To reduce the impact of unplanned maintenance, the transportation logistics company was interested in a trial of C3 Vehicle Fleet Analytics.

3M Gains Real-Time Insight with Cloud Solution
The company has a long track record of innovative technology solutions. For example, 3M helps its customers optimize parking operations by automating fee collection and other processes. To improve support for this rapidly expanding segment, 3M needed to automate its own data collection and reporting. The company had recently purchased the assets of parking, tolling, and automatic license plate reader businesses, and required better insight into these acquisitions. Chad Reed, Global Business Manager for 3M Parking Systems, says, “With thousands of installations across the world, we couldn’t keep track of our software and hardware deployments, which made it difficult to understand our market penetration.” 3M wanted a tracking application that sales staff could use to get real-time information about the type and location of 3M products in parking lots and garages. So that it could be used on-site with potential customers, the solution would have to provide access to data anytime, anywhere, and from an array of mobile devices. Jason Fox, Mobile Application Architect at 3M, upped the ante by volunteering to deliver the new app in one weekend. For Fox and his team, these requirements meant turning to the cloud instead of an on-premises datacenter. “My first thought was to go directly to the cloud because we needed to provide access not only to our salespeople, but to resellers who didn’t have access to our internal network,” says Fox. “The cloud just seemed like a logical choice.”
