15. LogBot (Logistic Robot)
It’s a “virtual” logistic agent that handles multiple events in real time
Executes pre-defined actions based on events received from devices
Acts on the exact moment it receives an event
Able to execute many tasks at same time
ADVANTAGES
Reduced number of human errors
Faster response to events
An agent handles only critical issues
17. Passive or Active Monitoring?
Passive
Active
An event is handled only at the moment a person All events are verified and compared to preidentify something wrong
defined conditions
Actions are taken with a delay of minutes
(sometimes hours)
Actions are executed immediately when a
condition is triggered
A person can handle events in a serial fashion
(one after another)
A robot can handle multiple events and dispatch
many actions at same time
A person can miss important events by leaving
his desktop for a few minutes
A robot works 24/7/365 and don’t need to eat or
go to restroom

Recent CNBC Prime episode on the “Rise of Machines” discussed the Industrial and Commercial IoT and the technological revolution underway powered by devices as small as a grain of rice.
Sensors, capable of tracking and recording everything we do.
Sensors in our smartphones, our cars, our appliances, even our bodies, that are connected to the Internet to share information and make our world smarter. Virtually all products that use electricity – from toasters and turbines to jet engines and sprinklers – now have the ability to "talk" to each other, and to us.
And, what they have to say is profoundly transforming our lives - the way we travel, treat disease, and enjoy our homes.
My name is Dipen and I am a Solution Engagement Director based out of our Australian offices in Sydney, today I am fortunate to be hosting this session
So let’s get started!
This is our safe harbor statement which reminds you that we are a publically traded company and you should make any and all purchasing decisions based on publically available information and currently available technology. It’s available on our website if you’d like to read it in more detail, but I’ll leave that to you.
This is a 30 min session and I have allowed for the last 10 minutes for Q&A.
What do we expect from this session?
Learn Learn about trigger-based applications and creation of custom bots to automate common tasks and actions based on data from devices.
Demonstrate events and actions available to create these custom bots based on different scenarios.
By a show of hands, how many of you have embarked on a project that exploits this connected world of devices?
How many of you are planning to embark on a project?
Looks like we have a high % of the audience who have delved into the connected world –
The concept of intelligent transportation has been around for a long time but it was not until the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) that it could become a reality. IoT combines automation with cloud computing, WiFi, GPS, RFID and telephony to enable smart and intelligent applications, bringing with it a new driving force as well as enormous business opportunities.
and to explore this world of connected logistics operations lets welcome ..
MAURICIO HAS MORE THAN 9 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN LOGISTICS MARKET, WITH EMPHASIS IN CARGO INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT. HE HAS MARKETING AND ADMINISTRATION BACKGROUND AND WORKED AS EXECUTIVE ACCOUNT MANAGER INTERACTING WITH SOME BIG COMPANIES IN BRAZIL LIKE HEINEKEN AND NOKIA.
CESAR HAS MORE THAN 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT USING LANGUAGES LIKE C++, PHP, JAVA, RUBY AND LINUX PLATFORM. CESAR HAS WORKED ON DIFFERENT COMPANIES IN BRAZIL, CHILE AND UNITED ARAB EMIRATES ACROSS DIFFERENT MARKETS SUCH AS RISK MANAGEMENT, VEHICLE TRACKING, GEOLOCATION, GIS, E-COMMERCE, MOBILE APPLICATIONS, SYSTEMS INTEGRATION, WEB SERVICES AND LINUX SERVER ADMINISTRATION.
THEY ARE FOUNDERS OF ROAD APPS A BRAZIL-BASED CLOUD TECHNOLOGY ORGANIZATION, SPECIALIZING IN TRACKING VEHICLES USING GPS TECHNOLOGY, HAS EMBRACED CLOUD TECHNOLOGY, AND IN PARTICULAR THE SALESFORCE PLATFORM, IN RESPONSE TO THE DEMANDS OF TRACKING VEHICLE IN REAL TIME, MANAGING THE FLEET, AND DYNAMICALLY TRACKING AND CHANGING THEIR ROUTING PATTERNS. ROAD APPS, THE CLOUD-BASED APPLICATION PLATFORM, IS FOCUSED ON THE LOGISTICS MARKET WHERE CUSTOMERS ARE ABLE TO MONITOR AND MANAGE THEIR LOGISTICS OPERATIONS IN REAL TIME, SETTING ALERTS RECEIVED FROM MOBILE DEVICES, ANALYZE HISTORICAL DATA USING DASHBOARDS, AND INTERACTING WITH DRIVERS SENDING MESSAGES AND COMMANDS TO EACH VEHICLE. JOIN US TO HEAR HOW THEY ARE MAKING THIS HAPPEN WITH THE SALESFORCE PLATFORM.
WHAT IS ROAD APPS?
IT’S A CLOUD-BASED APPLICATION….
WE ARE BUILDING AN BASE ENVIRONMENT, LIKE SALESFORCE, WITH BUILDING BLOCKS RELATED TO LOGISTICS MARKET.
ON OUR FIRST APP YOU WILL BE ABLE TO AUTOMATE PROCESSES BASED ON SENSOR DATA AND REDUCE RESPONSE TIME ON CRITICAL SITUATIONS
WE ARE ALSO BUILDING A PUBLIC API WHERE YOU CAN INTEGRATE YOUR SYSTEMS WITH OUR PLATFORM
LOGISTICS MARKET IN BRAZIL IS HUGE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITIES AND PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED.
60% OF CARGO IS TRANSPORTED BY TRUCKS BECAUSE IS EASIER AND MORE FLEXIBLE MODAL. WE ALSO HAVE MANY SELF-EMPLOYED DRIVERS THAT HAVE THEIR OWN TRUCK AND WORK AS FREELANCER TO MANY CARRIERS.
WE HAVE 130K TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES AND 2.4M TRUCK. THIS MARKET IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 6% OF OUR GDP EVERY YEAR.
ONLINE STORES ARE ANOTHER COMMERCIAL ACTIVITY THAT ARE GENERATING A HIGH DEMAND IN LOGISTICS MARKET.
ECOMMERCE IS A MARKET THAT MOVES 12B USD IN SALES AND GROWS 20% YOY. PART OF THIS GROWTH IS DUE AN INCREASE OF CREDIT OFFER OF CLASS C, WHICH IS MORE THAN 50% OF OUR POPULATION.
BECAUSE ECOMMERCE IS MOVING MORE CARGO, WE ALSO HAVE MORE BAD GUYS TRYING TO TAKE ADVANGE OF THIS.
THERE ARE SOME GANGS IN BRAZIL SPECIALIZED IN CARGO ROBBERY.
AS CARRIERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GOODS THEY ARE CARRYING, THEY MUST MAKE SURE THAT THESE GANGS WILL NOT SUCCEED ON THEIR ROBBERY ATTEMPS.
THE ESTIMATED LOSSES FOR THIS KIND OF ROBBERY IS AROUND 400M USD PER YEAR.
THE SOLUTION THEY FOUND TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM IS BY INSTALLING TELEMETRIC SYSTEMS AND GPS DEVICES TO MONITOR ALL DRIVER ACTIVITIES FROM ORIGIN TO DESTINATION.
COST PER DEVICE: 1K USD
MOST OF THESE TECHNOLOGIES WERE DEVELOPED 10 YEARS AGO AND TODAY WE CAN FIND THE SAME SENSORS EMBEDDED ON OUR SMARTPHONES AND CAN EASILY DO THE SAME WORK.
CURRENT TRACKING MODEL REQUIRES EXPENSIVE HARDWARE AND GPS ANTENAS INSTALLATION.
THERE ARE MORE THAN 10 DIFFERENT TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES AND EACH ONE HAS A DIFFERENT INTERFACE MONITOR AND INTERACT WITH A VEHICLE.
IT REQUIRES A MIDDLEWARE TO COMBINE ALL DIFFERENT TECHNOLOGIES IN AN UNIQUE INTERFACE SO IT CAN BE INTEGRATED WITH OTHER SYSTEMS.
IT ALSO REQUIRES A 24/7 TEAM TO MONITOR AND AUDIT ALL OPERATIONS AND ACT PROPERLY BASED ON EACH SITUATION
IN ADDITION TO DEVICE DATA WE ALSO HAVE MORE DATA COMING FROM OTHER SYSTEMS. THERE ARE ALSO SPECIFIC GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS AND TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS IN SOME STATES.
ALL THESE DATA IS MANAGED BY A PERSON AND BASICALLY WHAT HE DOES IS PAY ATTENTION ON WHAT IS HAPPENING AND ACT BASED ON THE POLICIES DEFINED BY EACH COMPANY.
THE PROBLEM WITH THE CURRENT MODEL IS IF AN AGENT RECEIVES MORE THAN ONE IMPORTANT EVENT AT SAME TIME, HE IS NOT ABLE TO GIVE A FAST RESPONSE AND SOMETIMES IS TOO LATE TO AVOID A ROBBERY.
SO, HOW WE SOLVE THIS PROBLEM USING SALESFORCE PLATFORM?
HOW IT WORKS A CONNECTED DEVICES SYSTEM?
A C.D.S. HAS 5 BASIC BLOCKS
OUR TRACKING SOLUTION IS SIMPLE AND CHEAP: BYOD
ALMOST EVERYBODY TODAY IS ABLE TO HAVE A SMARTPHONE AND THEY ARE GETTING CHEAPER EVERYDAY
YOU DON’T NEED TO EXPEND 1K PER VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IN RUNNING SMOOTHLY ON YOUR OPERATION
JUST ASK YOUR DRIVER TO DOWNLOAD OUR APP AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO MONITOR ALL HIS ACTIVITIES EASILY
NOW WE HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM OF MEASURE AND TRANSMIT SENSOR DATA, WHAT COMES NEXT? COLLECT, UNDERSTAND AND ACT.
WE ALREADY KNOW WHICH ARE THE MOST COMMON EVENTS THAT A LOGISTIC AGENT DEALS EVERYDAY.
WE ALSO KNOW WHICH ACTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN ONE OF THESE EVENTS OCCUR.
WHAT WE DID WAS ADD ALL THESE EVENTS AND ACTIONS AND MAKE THEM AVAILABLE TO ANY CARRIER SO THEY ARE ABLE TO SET THEIR OWN TRIGGERS BASED ON IT’S OWN BUSINESS RULES.
FOR EXAMPLE: IF A DRIVER IS OUT OF ROUTE, WE CAN CREATE A “BOT” THAT WILL SEND HIM A MESSAGE TELLING HIM THAT HE IS OUT OF ROUTE
ONCE THE RULES YOU WANT ARE CREATED, WE SEND THIS DATA TO SALESFORCE USING DEVICES API WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS.
WE CREATED TO CONCEPT OF LOGBOTS THAT IS A...
ON THIS SCREEN IS WHERE YOU CREATE A LOGBOT.
YOU CAN SET A PRIORITY LEVEL TO EACH BOT AND THE BOTS WITH HIGHEST PRIORITY ARE EXECUTED FIRST.
YOU CAN SET ONE OR MORE CONDITIONS THAT WILL TRIGGER THE EXECUTION OF SELECTED ACTIONS
IF A TASK CAN’T BE EXECUTED AUTOMATICALY, YOU CAN DESCRIBE WHAT ACTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN BY A PERSON.
NOW I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU: DO YOU MONITOR YOUR FLEET IN AN ACTIVE OR PASSIVE WAY?
PASSIVE MONITORING IS WHEN YOU RECEIVE A SENSOR DATA AND SOMEONE NEED TO READ IT, UNDERSTAND IT AND TAKE SOME ACTIONS BASED ON HIS KNOWLEDGE. THESE ACTIONS MIGHT TAKE MINUTES OR EVEN HOURS!
ACTIVE MONITORING IS WHEN A SYSTEM RECEIVE A SENSOR DATA, INTERPRETS IT BASED ON PRE-DEFINED CONDITIONS AND EXECUTES A TASK AS A RESPONSE TO THAT DATA. ALL THIS HAPPENS IN A FEW SECONS.
And that’s it! Thank you very much for you time and attention and if someone has any question, I will be happy to answer now.
