Solution	Supported by project44, Magna introduced the first Industry 4.0 driven Long Distance Just-in-Sequence (LD-JIS) logistics program for its Smart Factory concept. Magna chose project44’s Advanced Visibility Platform™ to collect, normalize, and enrich telematics data, then feed it to their systems. Magna’s dispatchers and controllers now have real-time visibility of all JIS supplies and can monitor planned routes and deviations of JIS trucks and trailers. Data flows are now automated, eliminating costly errors from human intervention. Magna is now ensured that loads in the supply chain will arrive on the right vehicle, in sequence, and on time.
