Ocean + fleet network

Anonymized pattern: global ship tracking and fleet orchestration feeding inventory allocation � so port congestion and lane delay reshape replenishment before the stockout meeting.

Context

A logistics-linked manufacturing network watched vessels in a control tower and trucks in another system. Planners saw cover break after the fact.

Challenge

• Ship ETA lived outside the planning object.
• Fleet exceptions did not update replenishment.
• Expedites were reactive and expensive.

Approach

• Ingested lane/ETA and fleet exception signals into the knowledge graph.
• Inventory optimization used risk-adjusted cover.
• Explainable expedite vs wait recommendations with planner control.

Outcomes (qualitative)

Earlier visibility of lane risk into allocation. Fewer blind expedites. One decision surface for ocean and road exceptions.
