Transforming Future of Logistics & Transportation
(cloud Logistics) Fastest Route to Value
Cloud Logistics was founded as an alternative to traditional slow moving, high priced
transportation management systems. TMS from Cloud Logistics offers a modern,
intuitive user experience that optimizes carrier selection, simplifies load tendering and
communication, and streamlines payment while increasing visibility and offering real-
time reporting. Save time, reduce transportation costs and gain transparency.
Our solutions make the complexities of order collaboration, communication, and
international transportation management fast, simple and beneficial for companies of
any size. The offering includes a unique user experience, customizable alerts, social
technology for business, and a mobile application designed specifically for drivers.
Robots and drones: how everything is changing
The world of robotics is being fundamentally transformed along three primary axes: increased
collaboration, increased autonomous mobility and increased intelligence. This change will
shape the future of automation and thus robotics and drones.
how the world of robotics and drones is changing, showing that our market forecasts
demonstrate that old robotics/drones, dominate the market in the short term but it will be new
robotics/drones that phenomenal growth in the long term and come to represent the majority of
the market .
Why now?
consider major long-term developments in performance and cost of key constituent components for
emerging robots and drones such as sensors, memory, computing, electronic motors;
whilst reviewing key innovations and progress on the software
• Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs):
autonomous mobility is much more diverse than just cars for general driving. consider AMRs in
cleaning, security, retail, hospital, and other applications.
offer insights on the potential future business trends (e.g., commoditization and modularization of
hardware/software •
AMRs in agriculture:
robots and drones in agriculture. focus on the diversity of forms and functions.
intelligent robotic implements, fresh fruit picking, and robots in dairy farming.
focus on the progress in autonomous tractors
Drones:
the investment trend in drones, showing how it exhibits clear hype characteristics. how price wars consolidated the
market,
leading to an en-mass pivot towards professional hardware and also software and services
the trends in drones-enabled software and drone-as-a-service. Finally, we will discuss the technological and
legislative trends towards autonomous drones.

Given the following information:
Transport 960,000 units to Eight stores , Four sources to Truck capacity (Batch size
shipped from each supplier to each store = 40,000 units
Transporting cost per load = $1,000 and The delivery cost per load = $100
Holding cost per unit yearly = $ 0.20
Answer
Number of shipments/yr from each supplier to each store=
960,000/40,000= 24
Annual trucking cost for direct network = 24 x 1,100 x 4 x 8 = $844,800
Average inventory at each store for each product = 40,000/2 = 20,000 units
Annual inventory cost for direct network = 20,000 x 0.2 x 4 x 8 = $128,000
Total annual cost of direct network = $844,800 + $128,000 = $972,800
