Big Data has changed everything from baseball to transportation, putting the power in the hands of
those who know how to analyze and break down metrics.Big Data has been especially crucial in the
disruption of the logistics industry, allowing companies such as UPS and DHL to move packages faster
and keep customers happy. It’s easy to see just how Big Data and the logistics industry were made for
each other.From the consumer side, it’s something you might not notice right away, but it is definitely
happening. Routes are being optimized, based on years upon years of transportation data
available.Here are few ways Big Data has already disrupted the $1.1 trillion logistics industry.

Companies are learning to turn large-scale quantities of data into competitive advantage. Their precise
forecasting of market demand, radical customization of services, and entirely new business models
demonstrate exploitation of their previously untapped data. As today’s best practices touch many
vertical markets, it is reasonable to predict that Big Data will also become a disruptive trend in the
logistics industry. However, the application of Big Data analytics is not immediately obvious in this
sector. The particularities of the logistics business must be thoroughly examined first in order to
discover valuable use cases.

Big Data in Logistics goes way beyond the buzz words and offers real-world use cases. It reveals what’s
happening now with Big Data, and what’s likely to happen in the future. It presents an exciting and
important role for sophisticated data analytics – the role of consolidating the traditionally fragmented
logistics industry. Successful logistics providers are likely to seize pole position as “search engines in
the physical world”.

In the logistics industry, Big Data analytics can provide competitive advantage because of five distinct
properties. These five properties highlight where Big Data can be most effectively applied in the
logistics industry.

1. Optimization to the core

2. Tangible goods and customers
3. In sync with customer business
4. A network of information
5. Global coverage,local presence

They provide a roadmap to the well of unique information assets owned by every logistics provider. In
the following sections, we identify specific use cases that exploit the value of this information, and
contribute to operational efficiency, a better customer experience, or the developmentof new
business models.

Last-mile optimization

A constraint in achieving high operational efficiency in a distribution network occurs at the “last mile”.
24 This final hop in a supply chain is often the most expensive one. The optimization of last-mile
delivery to drive down product cost is therefore a promising application for Big Data techniques.

Two fundamental approaches make data analysis a powerful tool for increasing last-mile efficiency. In
a first and somewhat evolutionary step, a massive stream of information is processed to further
maximize the performance of a conventional delivery fleet. This is mainly achieved by real-time
optimization of delivery routes. The second, more disruptive approach utilizes data processing to
control an entirely new last-mile delivery model. With this, the raw capacity of a huge crowd of
randomly moving people replaces the effectiveness of a highly optimized workforce.

In summary, every delivery vehicle receives a continuous adaptation of the delivery sequence that
takes into account geographical factors, environmental factors, and recipient status.

Effective Delivery Management

The analysis of big data allows a smart factory to predict the production schedule by each process and
adjust it according to the delivery schedule for improved on-time delivery. In addition, Hanwha
Techwin installs a Bluetooth sensor on every product that leaves its engine parts factory. These
sensors, which track products via the IoT network, improve the efficiency of delivery management.

Hanwha Techwin’s smart factory is not a pie-in-the-sky idea but a promise that is unfolding before
every eyes. The new smart factory combines the company’s proprietary manufacturing technology and
the latest smart software, and is equipping Hanwha Techwin to lead the world market.
