Sponsored by: Domo | Orchestrating Fleet Intelligence with AI Agents and Real-Time IoT With Databricks + DOMO

In today’s logistics landscape, operational continuity depends on real time awareness and proactive decision making. This session presents an AI agent driven solution built on Databricks that transforms real time fleet IoT data into autonomous workflows. Streaming telemetry such as bearing vibration data is ingested and analyzed using FFT to detect anomalies. When a critical pattern is found, an AI agent diagnoses root causes and simulates asset behavior as a digital twin, factoring in geolocation, routing, and context. The agent then generates a corrective strategy by identifying service sites, skilled personnel, and parts, estimating repair time, and orchestrating reroutes. It evaluates alternate delivery vehicles and creates transfer plans for critical shipments. The system features human AI collaboration, enabling teams to review and execute plans. Learn how this architecture reduces downtime and drives resilient, adaptive fleet management.
