Shell.ai Futures Pitch

Your task is to optimise routes and schedules for different types of ships in a maritime supply chain. This involves fulfilling the supply plan, minimising costs, and improving vessel efficiency. You will need to take into consideration the following factors: inventory control, external charters, partial unloading at nodes, and multi-product compartments. The aim is to streamline operations, meet customer demand, and achieve cost-effective resource utilization with an optimal route, inventory levels, and schedule.

Shell has a strong commitment to Respecting Nature as part of our Powering Progress strategy. New projects in areas rich in biodiversity require a baseline environmental assessment and regular monitoring during the lifetime of assets. Traditional biodiversity assessment methods often involve labor-intensive field surveys and sample collections. These methods can be slow, expensive, and may not capture real-time changes. Your task is to design innovative solutions or applications to support comprehensive biodiversity assessments, that minimise human presence inside the study area and are easy to use by non-specialised professionals.

There are thousands of sensors attached to a plant’s equipment. Automated and correlated monitoring, together with the analysis of sensor trends is required for effective predictive analysis. This challenge calls for a data-driven tool that can empower plant operators to monitor plant processes and equipment to intercept possible failures, do a diagnostic root-cause analysis and make the necessary repairs to avoid plant downtime.
