Semantically Enhanced Analytic Transportation Exploitation Tool (SEATET) Navy SBIR FY2015.2 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2015.2 Topic No.: N152-122 Topic Title: Semantically Enhanced Analytic Transportation Exploitation Tool (SEATET) Proposal No.: N152-122-0467 Firm: Modus Operandi, Inc. 709 South Harbor City Blvd., Suite 400 Melbourne, Florida 32901 Contact: Eric Little Phone: (321) 473-1409 Abstract: Modus Operandi proposes an innovative Semantically Enhanced Analytic Transportation Exploitation Tool (SEATET) for In-Transit Visibility (ITV) accessible via mobile devices. SEATET will provide a state of the art logistics ITV capability that better integrates various kinds of data and provides cargo transport situational awareness and decision support to Naval Lifts of Opportunity (LOOP) planners. SEATET identifies patterns of interest that inform and improve the ITV of goods managed in the existing TET system for urgent cargo logistics. SEATET captures important metadata in ontology models that provide a means to integrate and query across multiple legacy logistics systems via a common data model, plus provide outreach to other existing data sources currently unavailable to TET (weather data, equipment data, mission data, etc.). SEATET�s rules-engine automates several of the current processes within TET, reducing errors, improving communication capabilities among users, and providing alerts regarding risks or impacts to the cargo transport. SEATET builds upon Modus Operandi�s proven MOVIA analytics platform, which will be enhanced to handle large-scale logistics scenarios and will also require R&D around domain-specific ontology models for particular logistics applications. Using APIs, SEATET provides connectivity other legacy software tools connecting Naval data across the enterprise. Benefits: SEATET will provide a breakthrough mission capability for LOOP planners via near-real time ITV, critical issue alerts, and decision support. The system will provide a state-of-the-art logistics ITV module that ingests TET data feeds and is capable of kicking off other processes and software applications as well as automated alerts telling system users of potential issues with the logistics chain in near-real time. Many of the manual steps that must now be understood and communicated by personnel (e.g., route changes, special shipping needs such as ground equipment to move large items from plane to plane, impending weather systems that could impact flights and airports, etc.) can be augmented within SEATET. By putting some human-like intelligence into the software itself, information that resides in individuals� heads is now captured, modeled and exploited by computational means � improving the ability to react much quicker to problem situations and to plan with greater accuracy. SEATET will save time and effort, ultimately achieve large cost savings for the Navy. Commercial sector applications include the logistics requirements of lean supply chain initiatives, cargo transport, online retailers, and the travel industry. All these applications rely on scheduling, timeframes and the movements of goods/services or people. Return
