Multi-Agent AI Architecture
NaviChain deploys cooperating AI agents, each specializing in a supply chain function while sharing information and coordinating decisions.
Demand Forecasting Agent
Time-series models (LSTM, Transformer) incorporating sustainability indicators to reduce both stockouts and overstock waste.
Key Benefits:
- •Accounts for environmental factors in predictions
- •Reduces inventory waste by 10-15%
- •Improves forecast accuracy with machine learning
- •Integration with sustainability metrics
Procurement Agent
Multi-criteria optimization balancing cost, quality, lead time, and supplier carbon intensity with Indigenous supplier integration.
Key Benefits:
- •Supply Nation directory connectivity (5,700+ businesses)
- •$4.41 social return per dollar spent with certified suppliers
- •Reduced logistics costs for Indigenous producers
- •Environmental impact consideration in sourcing
Transport Agent
Vehicle routing with emissions factors and modal shift recommendations, achieving 18-22% carbon emissions reduction in freight operations.
Key Benefits:
- •Real-time re-optimization based on traffic and conditions
- •Balances delivery time, cost, and carbon intensity
- •Modal shift recommendations (road to rail/coastal shipping)
- •Addresses NSW's $6.1B congestion costs
Inventory Agent
Stock optimization minimizing waste, energy use, and obsolescence with 10-15% inventory waste reduction and 12-18% energy efficiency improvements.
Key Benefits:
- •Reduces inventory waste through AI optimization
- •Energy efficiency in warehousing operations
- •Prevents obsolescence with predictive analytics
- •Dynamic stock level adjustments
Distribution Agent
Last-mile optimization balancing customer satisfaction and environmental constraints, reducing Victoria's 40-53% last-mile delivery cost burden.
Key Benefits:
- •20-30% last-mile cost reduction
- •Real-time tracking meeting 82% of consumer expectations
- •Route optimization for urban delivery
- •Carbon-efficient last-mile solutions
Coordination Agent
Meta-level optimization resolving conflicts between agents, ensuring global objectives are met with Pareto-optimal solutions.
Key Benefits:
- •Reveals cost-carbon-service trade-offs
- •Coordinates decisions across all agents
- •Ensures global supply chain optimization
- •Provides scenario analysis and recommendations
