📄️ Predefining operations by weekday
Planners can use simulation templates to define distinct operational rules and settings for different days of the week. For example, a fleet might have different vehicle availability or cost structures on weekends versus weekdays.
📄️ Multi-Distribution Center (DC) Planning
Many logistics operations involve more than one distribution center or depot. Planners for each DC often work independently, managing their own fleets, orders, and operational constraints. SWAT API provides a powerful way to manage multi-DC operations within a single project, ensuring both separation of concerns and centralized oversight.
📄️ ETA for a delivery or pickup
There are three types of ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) times available for nodes:
📄️ Preassigned routes to vehicles
SWAT offers several ways to pre-assign routes to vehicles. Two primary use cases are:
📄️ Prioritization of drop off or pickup in CVRPTW Stateless model
Stateless API supports supports prioritization of drop off or pickup deliveries in prebook_cvrptw mode so only when there is only one pickup\dropoff node and each vehicle can do only a single run. Prioritization of drop off or pickup points is achieved by using groups ordering with each pair of drop off and pickups belonging to that group.
📄️ Ensuring vehicles complete all drop-offs before pickups
The Stateless Optimization API allows you to define efficiency constraints for vehicles, enabling various operational scenarios. One such scenario is ensuring that vehicles complete all drop-offs (deliveries) before returning to perform any pickups.
📄️ Restricting access of certain vehicle types to locations
Use Case: Restricted Access for Specific Vehicle Types to Locations
📄️ Setting start and\or end location for a vehicle
Integration API allows to set start and\or end location of the vehicle. Typical use cases include:
📄️ Live insertion into the route
