Robinson has launched artificial intelligence (AI) agents to combat the problem of missed less than truckload (LTL) pickups, the company said. The new technology is now tracking down missed pickups and using advanced reasoning to determine how to keep freight moving. That complexity means that missed pickups and costly delays can ripple through LTL networks. According to the company, the results are already in: 95% of checks on missed LTL pickups have been automated, saving over 350 hours of manual work per day. And unnecessary return trips to pick up missed freight have been reduced by 42%.
