Global Freight Disruption & Intermodal Logistics Rerouting
A global power equipment manufacturer shipping heavy transformers and turbine housings via international maritime, rail, and heavy haul trucking routes.
Run on Sankalp · Production Planning & Scheduling
The challenge
A critical international port strike and canal transit restrictions stranded 40 ocean freight containers of key sub components.
Downstream final assembly lines faced complete shutdown within 72 hours if alternative transport corridors were not established.
Logistics coordinators lacked real time visibility into alternative intermodal freight routes and associated shipping cost trade offs.
How Sankalp solves it
Live Intermodal Logistics Tracking & Alerting
Sankalp integrates maritime AIS vessel tracking and port congestion indices directly with active manufacturing work orders.
Automated Disruption Ripple Modeling
Calculates the exact shop floor assembly impact and part shortage timelines caused by in transit freight delays.
Intermodal Rerouting Optimization
Models alternative air cargo, secondary port, and rail transport routes, balancing expedited freight costs against factory downtime penalties.
Assembly Line Pacing & Resequencing
Resequences factory assembly schedules to prioritize orders with local material availability while expedited components transit.
Carrier Booking Dispatch
Dispatches updated freight booking instructions to global logistics partners to execute chosen rerouting plans.
