T|WO’s Auto02 Creates Significant Carbon Savings to Help with Sustainability Initiatives


Franklin, TN. - November 9, 2023 – Transportation | Warehouse Optimization (T|WO), the leader in optimization for load building and transportation load leveling that reduces total supply chain costs, announces that AutoO2 helps shippers significantly reduce carbon emissions. For one client alone and for the time of one month, the carbon reduction is equivalent to the carbon sequestered annually by 4675 acres of U.S. forests.

“Companies are becoming more focused on saving the environment, and AutoO2 can help to significantly reduce carbon emissions by filling trucks fuller, so shippers don't have to use as many trucks," says Tom Moore, CEO of Transportation | Warehouse Optimization.


The Carbon Savings for one customer for twenty-one days were:
• Number of Historical Truckloads = 867
Historical Metric Tonnes of CO2 emissions = 1778

• Using AutoO2, estimated Truckloads = 718
AutoO2 Planned Metric Tonnes of CO2 emissions = 1556

• Truckload Savings = 149 less trucks or 17% truckload savings
With AutoO2, Metric Tonnes CO2 Savings = 222 or 13% savings

• Estimated Annual Truck Loads Eliminated = 2623
Estimated Annual tonnes CO2 Emissions Eliminated = 3927

These numbers are equivalent to carbon sequestered by:
• 21 days = 265 acres of forest
• 365 days = 4675 acres of forest

AutoO2 is a load-building solution that builds the maximum possible payload that can ship legally and damage-free. One customer reports monthly savings from using it in one warehouse at $85,000. AutoO2 fills loads to 98% of the truck’s capacity vs. 85-90% that is common today. AutoO₂ plans loads that are legal to ship and damage-free—and by increasing the size of shipments, it will reduce freight costs by up to 10%.

AutoO2 integrates with:
• Supply Planning Systems to turn demand into optimized trucks that minimize wasted transportation capacity.
• ERP to break large orders into multiple truck loads and to consolidate customer orders based on the delivery window and available inventory.
• WMS to guide case pickers around the warehouse to create damage-free, well-balanced, and axle-legal loads.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
