  • Then click the menu "Data and constraints" to access the data management


Create and define your fleet

Create your fleet

You can create and define your fleet manually in Axiodis or import your fleet with a CSV file.


Import trucks and vehicle typologies with a CSV file

N°StepDetails
1

Download the excel file "20 - Import TRUCKS + TYPOLOGIES.xlsm" 

20 - Import TRUCKS + TYPOLOGIES.xlsm

2

Inform the file with data about your trucks (ID, ...) and vehicle typologies (capacity, size, ...)

3

Use the option "Export CSV" to generate the corresponding file

4

Go to the "Data and Constraints" module and menu "Transport Resources / Trucks"

5

Click on button  to import data, then choose the file to import ("XX - Import Trucks + Typologies.csv" ) and refresh the screen if necessary with the button  to check data imported


Manual definition of trucks and vehicle typologies










  1. Go to the "Data and Constraints" module and menu "Transport Resources / Trucks"
  2. Click on button  to create new truck
  3. Mandatory values are displayed in bold red with asterisk icon « * » (validation button is disabled until all mandatory values are informed)
  4. Updated values are displayed in bold blue
  5. Corresponding icons (new data, mandatory value, …) are displayed in the grid
  6. Click on button  to validate truck creation (or button  to cancel)

Define trucks availibility (calendars)

You can define your fleet availibilty manually in Axiodis or import your fleet from an Excel file.


Import trucks calendars with an Excel file

N°StepDetails
1Download the excel file "TrucksCalendars.xls" 

2

Inform the file with data with :

  1. Date of the beginning of the week (monday)
  2. Time windows for trucks availibility

3Go to the "Data and Constraints" module and menu "Transport Resources / Trucks"
4Click on button  to import data, then choose the file to import ("TrucksCalendars.xls" ) and refresh the screen if necessary with the button  to check data imported


Manual definition of trucks availability


  1. Go to the "Data and Constraints" module and menu "Transport Resources / Trucks"
  2. Click on tab "Calendars"
  3. Choose the display mode for the calendar (week or month)
  4. Click on button  or double click on the calendar to create a new time window for truck availabilty (more details can be defined in the time window with option "Details")
  5. Click on button  to validate (or button  to cancel)

Check vehicle typologies

  • Go to the "Data and Constraints" module and menu "Transport Resources / Vehicle typologies"
  • Check attributes and constraints for vehicle typologies: capacities, sizes, characteristics, ...

Check transport regulation

  • Go to the "Data and Constraints" module and menu "Transport Resources / Legslisation profiles"
  • Check attributes and constraints for transport regulation: driving time, working time, ...


Import your orders and clients

Import your orders and clients


N°StepDetails
1Download the excel file "21 - Import ORDERS + SITES.xlsm" 

21 - Import ORDERS + SITES.xlsm

2Inform the file with data about your orders (ID, Quantities, ...) and logistic sites (ID, address, ...)

3Use the option "Export CSV" to generate the corresponding file
4Go to the "Planning" module and open perspective "Transport Operations" in the menu "Perspectives"
5

Click on button  to import orders, then choose the file to import ("XX - Import Orders+ Sites.csv" ) and refresh the screen if necessary with the button  to check data imported

6

You can check if import process worked fine by opening "Events logs" view with menu "Perspectives / Windows / Others" and choose "Events logs" in folder "Others".

According to level status value :

  • Information : Import process was done normally without any warning or errors
  • Warning : Import process was done but with some warning (double click on the line to have more details or contact your administrator or Maplink)
  • Error : Import process was not done because of some errors during the process (double click on the line to have more details or contact your administrator or Maplink)


Check logistic sites

  • Go to the "Data and Constraints" module and menu "Logistic sites / Logistic sites"
  • Check attributes and constraints for Logistic sites : map position, logistic constraints, time constraints, ...

Check logistic constraints

  • Go to the "Data and Constraints" module and menu "Logistic sites / Logistic profiles"
  • Check attributes and constraints for Logistic constraints : map position, logistic constraints, time constraints, ...
  • Go to the "Data and Constraints" module and menu "Logistic sites / Time profiles"
  • Check attributes and constraints for time constraints : service times, access constraints, ...


How to schedule and optimize routes ?


This part describe how to schedule and optimize routes :

  • Global calcuation to build your transport plan automatically
  • Interactive and manual actions to create and adjust routes

Global calculation


N°StepDetails
1Go to the "Planning" module and open perspective "Planning management" in the menu "Perspectives"

2

In "Routes" view, click on button  and select option "Execute route optimization calculation"

3

Select options for the calculation :

  1. Routes optimization profile (if several profiles are defined in the system)
  2. Option about potential existing routes on the same calculation horizon (remove them, keep them, ...)
  3. Define the calculation horizon
  4. Define eventually filters on data to submit to the calculation (orders, trucks)

Then click OK to launch the calculation

4

Once the calculation is done, check routes created by the system using for instance :

  1. Routes view : list of routes
  2. Sequences view : routes details with different sequences and activities (delivery, driving, ...)
  3. Map view
  4. Transport indicators view : routes KPI and indicators (globally on transport plan, routes selection, ...)
  5. Other views available (contact Maplink support for further informations)
