That curiosity led me to working for a large shipping company in Asia while getting my MBA. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem I discovered was essentially that there was so much complexity and obscurity in operations for the logistics industry, and these carriers tell us that the technology they are able to get their hands on is pretty insufficient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Adam-Compain-CEO-ClearMetal.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7009\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"569\" class=\"small alignnone wp-image-7009 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Adam-Compain-CEO-ClearMetal.jpg\" alt=\"Machine Intelligence ClearMetal: Adam Compain\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Adam-Compain-CEO-ClearMetal.jpg 770w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Adam-Compain-CEO-ClearMetal.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Adam-Compain-CEO-ClearMetal.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s the most challenging\u00a0aspect of\u00a0your role?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Honestly I think the hardest part is doing what our company is doing, which is bridging the gap between Silicon Valley technology and shipping and logistics operations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every day, I spend a lot of time speaking with customers\u00a0and\u00a0people in the industry and having to 1) educate them about what does this technology do? and 2) explain how this technology can empower what they do on a daily basis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a lot about evangelizing the technology and educating about precisely how we can help our customers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>And it\u2019s really hard because what we\u2019re doing is pretty disruptive \u2014 and I hate that buzzword \u2014 but it\u2019s a very new, cutting-edge technology for an industry that typically doesn\u2019t live with this technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div>So it\u2019s hard to create the belief and get them to realize that our technology is truly that powerful and really does result in the magnitude of improvement that other carriers whom we are already working with have already seen by using our platform.<\/div>\n<h2>What does ClearMetal do?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What we do at our core is what we call predictive logistics. That\u2019s essentially using the most sophisticated technology available to solve the most complex operational problems in shipping and logistics.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be a little more specific, the problem that we\u2019re solving is that shipping carriers, as well as other companies in the supply chain \u2014 ports and terminals, the brokers in the industry, the rail and <a title=\"Preteckt Is Disrupting the Trucking Industry\" href=\"http:\/\/thinkapps.com\/blog\/development\/machine-intelligence-preteckt-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\">trucking companies<\/a> \u2014 basically all of these companies have to deal with overwhelming complexity and uncertainty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To ship a container all the way from Shenzhen to Chicago, for example, there are a lot of things that can happen along that chain. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s a lot of uncertainty around customer behavior, cancellations, and stuff like that. There\u2019s also a lot of uncertainty around the market: Will commodity prices change? Will there be broader changes in cost? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And then there\u2019s the problem of operations. When the ship arrives in port, will there be congestion? Will there be a delay? They have to worry about all of these problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basically they have all this complexity on one side, and because the tools they\u2019re using don\u2019t have the sophistication to predict this crazy uncertainty on the shipping cycle, they\u2019re left with a lot of unnecessary costs and complexity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-30-at-2.25.45-PM.png\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7006\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1308\" height=\"661\" class=\"extended alignnone wp-image-7006 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-30-at-2.25.45-PM.png\" alt=\"Machine Intelligence ClearMetal: What Is ClearMetal?\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-30-at-2.25.45-PM.png 1308w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-30-at-2.25.45-PM.png 300w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-30-at-2.25.45-PM.png 768w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-30-at-2.25.45-PM.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1308px) 100vw, 1308px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>In basic terms, how does ClearMetal&#8217;s platform work?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What we\u2019re doing is we\u2019re using the most sophisticated technologies, like machine learning, to predict and forecast with much higher accuracy and granularity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We say, let\u2019s look at every single element in this cycle.

Instead\u00a0it\u2019s more on the readiness of the world to adopt and implement these kinds of things.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What advances in machine learning have benefitted ClearMetal the most?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One thing that\u2019s for sure is the industry technology infrastructure, at least in logistics, has matured to the point that you can apply this type of technology. The data is now there, it\u2019s retrievable, and in these industries like logistics, it\u2019s now being tracked and housed properly (with a grain of salt).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, we\u2019re seeing the decreasing costs of extremely powerful computing, which has helped quite a bit. We\u2019re also seeing some interesting front-end libraries that we\u2019re noticing allow companies to make quicker use of data and machine learning predictions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this particular shipping problem, we\u2019ve created what we consider a proprietary pipeline of how we\u2019re using particular machine learning models, and we\u2019ve noticed other companies getting creative with their implementations of different tools, as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1172\" height=\"248\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7007\" src=\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-30-at-2.24.12-PM.png\" alt=\"Machine Intelligence ClearMetal: Data Science for Shipping\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-30-at-2.24.12-PM.png 1172w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-30-at-2.24.12-PM.png 300w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-30-at-2.24.12-PM.png 768w, https:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/31130008\/Screen-Shot-2016-05-30-at-2.24.12-PM.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1172px) 100vw, 1172px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Does ClearMetal consider itself a machine learning company?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would probably position us as an artificial intelligence company. But yeah, we are a data science and machine learning company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reason for that is because 1) everything we do is from that approach, and 2) our core and how we solve problems is through predictive logistics, and the ability to power that prediction comes from machine learning and other technologies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike other companies that have a lot of data and use machine learning to gain insights and do cool things, our core product and how we solve this problem is on a\u00a0platform built entirely on machine learning technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Do you have any serious competition in this space?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We do have a lot of large and very mature technology companies offering solutions to shipping carriers, for example, and they\u2019re talking all about big data and advanced analytics and these sorts of things. And they\u2019re even talking about machine learning. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what we haven\u2019t seen is anyone with the amount of focus and sophistication with machine learning to solve this problem. For us, it\u2019s the proprietary application of machine learning technology to the problem we\u2019re solving. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>We haven\u2019t seen anyone as focused as we are or as experienced as we are on solving this issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To the layman audience, I think we may be indistinguishable. But the reality is that, if you really understand the technology or the problem, you get that you need a deep specialist like us to do this, not a generalist that is simply looking for ways to apply their machine learning technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another team of AI experts couldn\u2019t really come into our space and do what we\u2019re doing with the success with which we\u2019re doing it because it requires such a nuanced understanding of the shipping industry and everything that goes into it.<\/p>\n<p>You have to have a lot of knowledge about how what\u2019s happening in the real world to apply this technology properly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>This post is part of a\u00a0series of\u00a0interviews with<em>\u00a0<a title=\"ThinkApps posts on machine intelligence\" href=\"http:\/\/thinkapps.com\/blog\/tag\/machine-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\">machine intelligence companies<\/a><\/em>\u00a0that\u00a0are harnessing the power of machine learning and artificial intelligence in innovative ways.
