Overview

The purpose of this DAG is to optimize transportation routes, thereby reducing operational costs and improving service delivery in the transport and logistics sector. It is triggered by the planning of transport routes, utilizing data from various sources such as location data, delivery constraints, and historical transport logs. The ingestion pipeline begins with collecting this data, ensuring that all relevant inputs are available for processing. The key processing steps include calculating op

The purpose of this DAG is to optimize transportation routes, thereby reducing operational costs and improving service delivery in the transport and logistics sector. It is triggered by the planning of transport routes, utilizing data from various sources such as location data, delivery constraints, and historical transport logs. The ingestion pipeline begins with collecting this data, ensuring that all relevant inputs are available for processing. The key processing steps include calculating optimal routes using advanced routing algorithms, validating the results against predefined criteria, and ensuring that the proposed routes meet all delivery constraints. Quality controls are implemented throughout the process, including checks for data integrity and route feasibility. The outputs of this DAG consist of optimized route plans, detailed cost analysis reports, and performance metrics. Monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) such as cost savings and delivery times is essential, allowing for real-time adjustments and improvements. In the event of processing failures, a recovery process is initiated to ensure continuity and reliability. This DAG ultimately delivers significant business value by enhancing operational efficiency, reducing transportation costs, and improving customer satisfaction through timely deliveries.
