**Houston**: Freight Technologies has launched an AI Lab in partnership with the University of Monterrey to develop AI-powered logistics solutions, aiming to optimise cross-border freight operations between the US and Mexico and bridge academia with real-world applications.
Freight Technologies, Inc., a logistics management company based in Houston, has launched an AI Lab aimed at transforming cross-border freight operations between the United States and Mexico. This initiative is part of a strategic collaboration with the University of Monterrey’s AI Program, formalised through a memorandum of understanding.
The newly established AI Lab is designed to integrate cognitive AI solutions into logistics, focusing on developing AI-powered products that are adaptable to the specific needs of freight movements. By leveraging vast datasets from thousands of shipments and trade patterns, the lab is positioned to create intelligent, self-optimising logistics solutions. This approach is intended to enhance the efficiency and decision-making capabilities of freight operations.
“Our mission is to develop AI-powered logistics products with real-world applications, fostering collaboration between academia and industry to advance AI research,” said Javier Selgas, CEO of Freight Technologies. The lab seeks to attract top AI talent, aiming to build a network of leading technologists who can contribute to this innovative venture.
Furthermore, the collaboration with the University of Monterrey allows students, researchers, and faculty to engage with tangible freight technology applications, bridging the gap between theoretical study and practical industry challenges. Dr. Antonio Martínez Torteya, an Associate Professor at the University of Monterrey, emphasised the importance of directing academic effort towards impactful projects. Dr. Irving Cruz-Matías, also an Associate Professor at the university, expressed optimism about the strengthening ties between the AI programme and Freight Technologies.
The establishment of the AI Lab comes at a time when the logistics industry is increasingly recognising the potential of artificial intelligence to streamline operations. Freight Technologies’ comprehensive suite of solutions includes platforms for cross-border shipping, less-than-truckload services, and a digital platform for ocean freight management, highlighting the company’s commitment to technological advancement in the logistics sector.
This initiative marks a significant step for Freight Technologies as it seeks to redefine logistics through AI, potentially setting new industry standards that could enhance operational efficiency in the growing cross-border freight market.
