We’ve all heard the saying, “Data is the new oil.” Where we might differ is that we see it as lubricant for the innovation and improvement “engine” rather than Black Gold – a commodity. Data, more specifically Big Data, has empowered AI and Machine Learning (ML) such that we’re now seeing a sharp rise in practical, niche AI and ML solutions in almost every industry – intermodal terminal operations is no exception.

In this informative webinar, sponsored by Blackberry Radar, experts from INFORM Software will take you through a brief history of AI and ML in intermodal terminal operations and then dive into understanding what’s involved in harnessing your data to run a Machine Learning project. Pulling it all together, they’ll share some of the findings that they’ve seen from their ML projects and discuss why ML insights drive real operational value to terminal operators.
