Knapp launches redPILOT control tower
DCV Editorial Director David Maloney and Knapp's Kevin Reader discuss the company's redPILOT technology. Watch the interview and much more in our show-floor video.
Warehouse logistics and automation solutions provider Knapp released to the North American market a software control tower for warehousing and distribution called redPILOT. The platform leverages big data, predictive modeling and analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) technology, and artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver actionable insights to supply chain managers and leaders, the company said.
The product will allow users to manage planning, execution, and improvements, ensuring that operations run at their optimal performance-to-cost ratios at surges and lulls throughout the day, week, or year, redPILOT President Siegfried Zwing said in a statement. Just as a car driver uses the vehicle's satellite navigation system to find a route, the system helps logistics managers cope with challenges ranging from daily order fluctuations and changes in order profiles, to managing labor scarcity and daily labor scheduling and maintenance, Zwing said.
