Transportation

Transportation companies were early to recognize the value of computers for handling orders and coordinating complex systems. The airline industry started using computerized reservation systems in the 1950s, and the descendants of those early programs live on in the Sabre and Amadeus distribution systems. Airlines later recognized that logistical software could improve their capital utilization rates, structuring timetables and routes to make the best use of expensive equipment.

The transportation industry is now embracing the industrial internet with full, automated linkages between intelligent software and the big machines that move people and cargo. Trains, trucks, and airplanes gather detailed operational data and send it to system-level software that optimizes routes, anticipates maintenance needs, and tweaks operations in real-time to improve fuel efficiency.

Eventually, the industrial internet will support broad use of automation to replace human operators with software that is safer, more reliable, and more efficient, completing the tie between global networks and machines. A single software stack will extend from the network planning and demand management level all the way down to throttles and brakes.
