WASHINGTON, Sept. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Unisys
Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that its predictive freight
technology won the global award for "Best Software Architecture" at
the ICMG 2017 USA Architecture Excellence Awards, recognizing
achievements in the field of enterprise, business and information
technology (IT) architecture. Predictive freight is an integral
part of Digistics™, a software-led, holistic and integrated cargo
logistics solution launched earlier this year.
The awards were presented during ICMG's Architecture World
Summit in Washington, DC on
September 11-12. A jury comprised of
industry experts recognized Unisys' predictive freight solution for
its modern, cloud-based architecture, and advanced analytics and
machine learning technologies that greatly improve supply chain
visibility and route planning. The technology analyzes past,
present and future data, including historical arrival and departure
times, forecasted traffic and weather, and available route options.
Over time, because the technology enables predictions to become
increasingly accurate, freight forwarders can plan routes to avoid
delay – especially important for critical shipments such as
perishable goods or medicine.
"Though the technology is still in the early stages of adoption,
we are already seeing the dramatic benefits that advanced analytics
can provide to air carriers and freight forwarders," said Dheeraj
Kohli, vice president and global head of Travel and Transportation
for Unisys. "For example, the modular nature of this solution
allows for easy integration into existing systems and regular
system updates, while the advanced analytics – powered by machine
learning – enable us to deliver on our clients' most desired
outcomes: improving predictability, speed and agility."
"The jury felt that Unisys' predictive freight capabilities
exemplified an innovative new approach to enterprise IT and
architecture," said Sunil Dutt Jha,
CEO & Chief Architect, ICMG International. "The predictive
freight software has been designed to facilitate digital
transformation in the air cargo industry, based on the strong
foundation of an unmet business need, coupled with an impressive
degree of measurable results."
This acknowledgement is the latest recognition for Unisys cargo
capabilities. In July, Unisys' predictive freight solution was
honored at the ICMG 2017 Australasian & Asia Pacific
Architecture Excellence Awards.
Unisys has more than 45 years of experience providing advanced,
critical IT solutions to the travel and transportation industry.
Unisys cargo solutions are used by many of the world's leading
carriers, which collaborate via the Unisys Cargo User Group (UCUG).
Unisys and UCUG members have worked with the International Air
Transport Association (IATA) for more than 20 years on initiatives
such as e-Freight, Cargo iQ and XML messaging.
