AI agent for logistics coordinators
Dangerous Goods Shipment Compliance Agent
Every hazardous shipment correctly classified, packed and documented before pickup
What it does
Batteries, chemicals, aerosols and other hazardous goods have strict rules by mode of transport, and a mistake can mean fines, rejected cargo or danger. When a hazardous order arrives, this agent reads the safety data sheets and order lines and identifies the class, packing group and quantity limits. It drafts the shipping declaration, labels and marks. It then checks the plan against the rule set for road, air or sea, including segregation from other goods on the same load. Lithium batteries packed with equipment follow different rules than loose batteries. If anything fails, such as a quantity over the passenger aircraft limit, it suggests a mode change, a split or repacking and redrafts. Any failing shipment is blocked. A trained dangerous goods person signs off before shipping. Edge case: a safety data sheet older than its revision date is requested again.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
