January 17, 2020: India’s largest zinc-lead miner, Hindustan Zinc (HZL) partnered with FarEye, a SaaS-based predictive logistics platform, to build first Logistics Control Tower in the industry which will monitor and control more than 30,000 trips per month.
The control tower is expected to reduce dependency on manual processes, enhance logistics efficiency and mitigate risks.
FarEye’s machine learning and IoT powered platform are used to drive actionable analytics around stakeholder and vehicle performance to better identify bottlenecks in HZL. This platform uses GPS and RFID technologies integrated with the Transport Management System (TMS) and SAP ERP.
Sharad Gargiya, chief commercial officer, Hindustan Zinc Limited, said “FarEye is enabling Hindustan Zinc to have control over more than 30,000 trips every month with zero manual intervention thus, enhancing the efficiency of our supply chain and operations. Its machine learning capabilities have been generating accurate ETAs for Hindustan Zinc’s customers. It also makes planning efficient routes easier.”
The system is live across all legs of motion (plant, mines, smelters, ports, customers).
Suryansh Jalan, president, FarEye Transportation said, “Ensuring 100% safety and compliances across all the vehicles become more complex as the number of vehicles, trips, and transporters increase. This is where FarEye’s Digital Control Tower (DCT) comes in. From monitoring and managing KPIs, running distributed exception handling, providing real-time visibility, to reducing logistics costs, DCT has empowered Hindustan Zinc to completely transform its logistics operations.”
