Shadowfax Rolls Out AI-Backed Address Intelligence System For Seamless Deliveries

SUMMARY

Shadowfax launches SF Maps, an AI-powered address intelligence system for accurate deliveries.

2. The new system predicts customer locations with over 90% accuracy within 100 meters, reducing cancellations by 10%.

3. SF Maps uses artificial neural networks and real-time data integration to navigate India’s complex addressing system.

Shadowfax, India’s leading provider of cutting-edge e-commerce logistics solutions, proudly introduces SF Maps, an advanced AI-based address intelligence system designed to enhance delivery accuracy and efficiency. This innovative tool predicts customer locations with unparalleled precision, setting a new industry standard with over 90% accuracy within 100 meters of the intended destination. SF Maps greatly improves navigation for delivery partners, thereby assisting e-commerce platforms and Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) brands in reducing cancellations due to address inaccuracies on their platforms.

In contrast to standardized address formats prevalent in Western countries, Indian addresses often lack structure, are susceptible to language and understanding-based gaps, and are highly prone to input error posing challenges in pinpointing exact locations during delivery. SF Maps addresses these complexities by leveraging a sophisticated AI/ML model trained on a vast dataset of Shadowfax’s past deliveries and pickups exceeding 1.5 billion data points. This model adeptly handles incomplete addresses, ambiguous area names, reliance on distant landmarks, and inaccurate pincodes, ensuring smoother operations. Further, precise navigation to customer addresses enables seamless deliveries without the need for additional calls, effectively reducing instances of missed deliveries and improving overall efficiency. Since the introduction of SF Maps, Shadowfax has achieved a significant reduction in customer cancellations or RTOs (Return to Origin) by almost 10% and boosted customer Net Promoter Score (NPS) by 25%.

Vaibhav Khandelwal, Chief Technology Officer at Shadowfax, “SF Maps represents a significant leap forward in our mission to optimize the delivery speed and elevate customer experience while solving fundamental problems in last-mile logistics. This innovative AI model trained on our vast set of historical delivery data drives significant operational efficiencies for us. We deeply understand the problems that arise due to incomplete addresses and how it hinders further innovation and hence we aim to make this AI model generally available for research in the future.”

Under the hood, SF Maps uses an in-house Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based embedding model, trained using a Siamese Network architecture. The generated embeddings are fed into VectorDB and the extracted locations are passed through H3 geospatial indexing, further fine-tuning location intelligence. This custom-built model captures complex contextual relationships between address components and their geographical associations, leveraging deep learning algorithms to discern intricate patterns for more accurate location-based intelligence. The underlying algorithms and design architecture allow SF Maps to be a self-correcting engine that captures changing ground operations realities. The feedback loop is powered by real-time delivery partner geolocations that Shadowfax captures every 5 seconds while they are on their platform. Shadowfax also deploys a WhatsApp-based conversational bot that interacts with customers and gathers address information for improved results and error correction.

Wait if Revali was in an idol group who else would be in it and what would their debut song be, plus theme?? Like would it be the rito like Teba Harth etc or would it be like a mix of people (like Teba and sidon and others etc etc) plus what would their name be just curious… or revs positions you know the drill

u know now that i think about it oomfie i think u were the one who was putting newjeans on my dashboard a couple weeks back i should have known u were a kpopper 🤣 also kpop idol positions are always the strangest thing to me so i had to do a little review LMAO

if you wanna be fr, revali wouldn't want to be in an idol group at all, he wanted to be a soloist. but the managers were like no you would do good in a group, debut in a group first and we'll talk about solo later if you're successful enough. so revali fucking hates all these other guys but he is a good asf actor and is so good at delivering fanservice y'all would have never thought he was praying on his bandmates' downfalls KDJFJKDFK i wouldn't have been surprised if it was actually revali tipping off dispatch to give the others scandals

revali is the main vocalist and dancer the maknae LMAO (transl: youngest) of the group RiTO which stands for "Rising To Own", which refers to the group's belief that if "the sky is limit", they must rise higher to break the limit and go beyond it in order to own their true selves. i think it would be funny if since the word is "rising", fans debate on whether to pronounce the acronym as "ree-to" or "rai-to" and even years after the group's debut, people are still fighting online about how to pronounce it. then you got some freaks who say each letter out loud or straight up skip over the "i" to say RTO. RiTO fans are called "ownwings" because they are the wings that allow the group to rise and break the limit, as well as being encouragement to the fans to use their own wings to fly up and achieve lofty dreams together with RiTO. was that kpop-y enough LMFAO i should be a kpop ceo fr fr

the other members of the group include members leader and main rapper teba, lead rapper lead dancer harth, lead vocalist and visual kass, and leader dancer sub vocalist mimo. ages from oldest to youngest goes as mimo, kass, teba-harth (same year teba is older), and then revali. kass is the face of the group, revali and teba switch between being centers a lot, and revali is their all-rounder. i mentioned having to review kpop positions bc shit like "main" vs "lead" always confuses me, so for my non-kpop mutuals, you can refer to this article for more in-depth explanations.

my instinct was to say that they do a "refreshing" concept ASTRO-style because the rito=birds=air=refreshing, but like... do you Really think teba, harth, revali, and mimo could do your standard run-of-the-mill kpop refreshing concept LMFAOKDJFDK

teba and harth's generally gruff and cold-shoulder personalities throw me off trying to come up with ideas for this, because imagining them as kpop idols is so fucking funny. these guys are the dads who will drop their kids off at the TWICE concert grumpy asf as if they're not going home blasting FEEL SPECIAL in the car like ✋😭 (they would never admit it out loud, but teba's bias is jihyo because he respects how long she was a trainee to achieve her dream and harth's is jeongyeon because he likes how her tomboyish charm sets her apart from the rest of the group).

so just because canonically 4/5 of the group are older dilf characters (yes i think mimo is a dilf), i would say their debut concept at the very least would be something that's dark/mature/sexy? i'm thinking they're gonna do something like a kingsman concept bc i feel like that fits their vibe. like iirc the movie 'kingsman' was super popular in south korea so maybe that's what makes them skyrocket in popularity. RiTO debuts with a fresh gentlemen-spy concept and the music video has a story that eventually becomes full-scale lore throughout the rest of their music.

i mentioned revali being a hating ass little bitch when he has to debut in a group but also consider him being like 16-17 while the other members are 18-21 already. these guys are older than him in an industry that is known to be extremely competitive, full of rivalries and harmful health habits that could crush revali if he's not quick or clever enough :( he's just a baby in this industry tbh. so — and stay with me here — i'm imagining teba being the leader and figuring out that revali is just constantly furious and irritated and seething because he wants to be a soloist and not in a group, so he dads revali a bit as his leader and tries to get to know him and get him to calm down. just revali and teba bonding 🥺 and revali eventually not being a hater anymore and slowly having more brotherly bonds with the other members. he becomes their little baby 🥹🤍 always mussing his hair up and giving him bear hugs and teasing him lightheartedly where revali scoffs and pushes them away, but inside he feels warm because he was an only child with parents who were always working.

imagining baby trainee revali who practices the choreo of their debut for hours until he collapses from exhaustion in the practice room, and teba comes in to tell him to go to sleep just as revali falls to the floor. teba immediately shouts for harth who's just down the hall and then goes running to revali to make sure he didn't hit his head or anything. the kid is sweaty and red-faced from how much he danced, completely conked the fuck out from how exhausted he is. harth comes and they carry him to his bed, and try to wake him up so revali can at least drink some water and see if he'll be able to wash up himself, and the whole experience is life-changing for revali because he's like. why did u do all this. and teba and harth are like ??? you're part of the team, we have to take care of each other? and you're the youngest... we have to take care of you especially. and revali is just wide-eyed and about to cry because what the hell. these people actually care about him??????

also manager kaneli and CEO valoo lmfaodkjfdkj. i'm torn between a couple of ideas for the company name because it's either like (1) RiTO is under 'TBNTH (Tabantha) Entertainment' which is a subsidiary of HEBRA Labels, (2) RiTO is under the company 'hebra ent.', OR (3) RiTO is under HEBRA ENT. which is a subsidiary of HYRULE CORPORATION. however for the last one, that would imply that were i to make link a kpop idol as well (😳), he would be in a company that is also a subsidiary to hyrule corp. not that it matters too much but i just think it would be funny if it was like. revali was from a Big 3 company whereas link was from an underdog company like bighit when it first started out. or maybe it does start like that and link's company becomes a subsidiary under one of the other Big 3 companies (Hyrule Corp, TWILI Industries, and TeRMiNA Labels?). i considered also doing something like RiTO being under [company named after hebra/tabantha] which is a subsidiary of [corporation label named after wind waker dragon roost island] but idk.

i'm not gonna go too into link's presence or revalink's relationship here unless you request it since you only asked about revali and i wanna keep the focus on him for this post 😭 but i think kpop idol!link OR fan!link would be very interesting for this au. like what about link who goes from fan to idol p1harmony-keeho style 😭 imagine if link was making tweets about revali like that one busanwings tweet before becoming an idol LIKE DKJFHDKJFHJDF

if link is only just a kpop idol, then him and revali are for SURE getting into dispatch dating rumor scandals. (for non-kpop oomfs, dispatch is a news company notorious in south korea for stalking kpop idols and dishing out scandals on them frequently). it'll be some stupid shit like "H3RO's Link was seen exiting the Slippery Falcon Cafe wearing a shirt similar to RiTO's Revali. Could it be the two idols are seeing each other?" because dating rumors have actually happened in kpop like that 😭

also consider them getting in a dating rumor, and where revali's managers are furious and revali doesn't want to be involved with this nugu, link is completely starry-eyed because revali is actually his idol and the reason why he pursued being an idol, and his company is actually thrilled because ahaha bad publicity is still publicity, right? especially if it has to do with one of the top groups out there right now!

The importance of VLT For Car Sun Films

Car sun films are frequently commended for their ability to keep vehicles cool and shield passengers from the harmful UV rays of the sun. However, their use in India has sparked debates, confusion, and misconceptions due to varying regulations. Although many people believe that car sun films are necessary for comfort and safety, it is crucial for all car owners to be aware of the legal framework around them. This guide explores the laws pertaining to visible light transmission (VLT) limitations for automobile windscreens and windows, which you should be aware of in order to stay informed.

The importance of VLT

Visible Light Transmission (VLT) is the proportion of visible light that may flow through a film or window. Greater light transmission is indicated by a greater VLT percentage, and less light transmission is indicated by a lower VLT percentage. Car sun coverings can enhance privacy and reduce heat, but too dark of a film might make it difficult to see through, leading to safety concerns. Maintaining visibility while providing adequate UV and heat protection is the ideal balance. Here is where laws come into play to set guidelines for acceptable VLT levels for different auto components.

Legal regulations for sun films in India

The Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR), 1989, as well as a significant Supreme Court decision in 2012, are the two main sources of India’s sun film rules.

As per the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), 1989, side windows must have a minimum VLT of 50% and front and rear windscreens must have a minimum VLT of 70%. These recommendations offer minimal UV and heat protection while guaranteeing sufficient visibility. Crucially, these restrictions do not apply to any aftermarket coatings or films; they only apply to the glass itself.

The Supreme Court of India ruled in 2012 that it was illegal to apply any kind of aftermarket solar film on automobile windscreens and windows. The court’s ruling was predicated on the idea that dark films could compromise security by blocking the view inside the car, which would make unlawful activity easier. According to the order, no substance, including sun films with any VLT percentage, may be placed to the windowpanes of a vehicle. However, glass that has been coloured in a factory using specified VLT levels is permitted.

The role of manufacturers and RTOs

Car manufacturers usually install factory-tinted glass that complies with the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), 1989, in order to meet VLT criteria. This guarantees that the necessary safety and visibility standards are upheld without requiring aftermarket adjustments. Car owners can check the VLT levels of their vehicle windows at authorized centres or Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) for added assurance. These facilities employ specialized equipment to verify compliance, assisting drivers in abstaining from fines by following rules. Upholding these standards improves passenger comfort and safety while also guaranteeing legal compliance.

Enforcement challenges

Despite the Supreme Court’s unambiguous decision, different Indian states and cities have different laws in place. How thoroughly these rules are applied depends on a number of factors, including public awareness, local law enforcement priorities, and regional climate conditions. Speaking about Bangalore, a city renowned for its high car density and tech-savvy populace, sun protection laws are strictly enforced. To make sure that the Supreme Court decision and CMVR rules are being followed, traffic police frequently perform inspections. Many Bangalore residents look for ways to lower the heat and glare inside their cars because of the city’s warm temperature. An increasingly common substitute are transparent UV-blocking films that don’t change the VLT percentage of windows. These coatings offer protection from heat and hazardous radiation while adhering to legal regulations.

Autopad sun films to the rescue

Autopad’s sun films provide legal compliance while providing the ideal solution for Bangalore’s climate. These films offer the best protection and comfort because they are made to filter the harmful UV rays and reduce heat without affecting the VLT percentage of windows. They keep car interiors cooler, which lowers the need for air conditioning and improves fuel efficiency. They are perfect for the warm city weather. Their translucent design satisfies Bangalore’s strict enforcement criteria while guaranteeing clarity and visibility. These sun films for car in Jayanagar thus make driving in Bangalore safer, more comfortable, and ecologically beneficial without raising any legal issues by fusing cutting-edge technology with legal compliance.

Making prudent choices and keeping up with sun film rules can guarantee that you abide by the law while still taking advantage of the benefits of UV protection, reduced heat, and improved comfort. To protect your health and keep your car in accordance with Indian laws, pick solutions that put safety, legality, and efficacy first.

Understanding RTO Thermal Systems and RTO Thermal Oxidizers

What is an RTO Thermal System?

An RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer) thermal system is a sophisticated air pollution control device designed to treat volatile organic compounds (VOCs), hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), and odorous emissions. These systems work on the principle of thermal oxidation, where harmful pollutants are broken down into harmless by-products such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.

The regenerative design of the RTO system ensures that it captures and reuses heat generated during the oxidation process, resulting in exceptional energy efficiency. This feature makes RTO thermal systems a popular choice in industries like chemical manufacturing, food processing, and automotive production, where emission control is critical.

How RTO Thermal Oxidizers Work

The RTO thermal oxidizer is the core component of the regenerative system. It operates by heating polluted air to high temperatures, usually between 800°C and 1,000°C, to initiate a chemical reaction that oxidizes VOCs and other pollutants. This process effectively eliminates up to 99% of harmful emissions.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how an RTO thermal oxidizer functions:

Air Intake: Polluted air is drawn into the oxidizer.

Preheating: The air passes through a heat exchanger, where it is preheated using the residual heat from the oxidation process.

Thermal Oxidation: The air is directed to a combustion chamber where high temperatures destroy pollutants.

Heat Recovery: The clean air exits through the heat exchanger, transferring heat to incoming polluted air to maximize energy efficiency.

Emission Release: Finally, the treated air is safely released into the atmosphere.

Advantages of RTO Thermal Systems

Investing in an RTO thermal system offers several benefits, including:

High Efficiency: The regenerative design recovers up to 95% of heat energy, reducing operational costs.

Environmentally Friendly: These systems significantly reduce emissions, helping industries meet stringent environmental standards.

Versatility: RTO systems are adaptable to various industries and can handle a wide range of pollutant concentrations.

Durability: With proper maintenance, these systems have a long operational life, making them a cost-effective solution.

Applications of RTO Thermal Oxidizers

Industries across the globe use RTO thermal oxidizers to control air pollution. Key sectors include:

Chemical Manufacturing: To treat emissions from chemical reactions and solvent use.

Food Processing: To eliminate odors and VOCs produced during food preparation.

Automotive: To manage emissions from paint booths and other manufacturing processes.

Pharmaceuticals: To control solvent-based emissions.

Choosing the Right RTO Thermal System

Selecting the right RTO thermal system depends on various factors, including the type and concentration of pollutants, airflow volume, and energy requirements. Working with a reputable manufacturer or service provider ensures that the system is customized to meet specific industry needs.
