PTV Logistics Launches an Interactive AI Agent Bringing Logistics Intelligence to Life

PTV Logistics, located in Karlsruhe, Germany today announced the launch of PTV Mira, a new interactive AI agent designed to fundamentally change how logistics teams plan, optimize, and make decisions.

Built on PTV Logistics’ API-first, AI-powered platform, PTV Mira enables users to interact with real logistics intelligence through natural, human-like conversation.

While optimization technology has become increasingly powerful, accessing it often still requires expert users, long workflows, and manual scenario analysis. PTV Mira changes this dynamic.

Users, from planners to COOs, all have benefits from PTV Mira:

• "Why is order #107 unplanned?"

• "Show me the most inefficient routes in this plan."

• "What happens if volume increases 20% next Monday?"

• "Should we open a depot in Exeter or Cardiff? Run both scenarios and compare."

PTV Mira interprets intent, launches real optimization runs across PTV Logistics’ routing, network, and constraint engines, compares scenarios in parallel, and explains the results clearly — all in seconds.

PTV Mira is made possible by PTV Logistics’ long-term transformation into a unified, API-first platform. Every core capability — routing, optimization, mapping, EV modeling, constraints, and scenarios — is modular and accessible to AI.

This architecture allows PTV Mira to go beyond answering questions. She can actively orchestrate optimization engines, generate alternative scenarios, and compare outcomes in real time.

When a user asks a question, PTV Mira doesn’t generate a guess — she runs real simulations and presents optimized results. PTV Mira represents a different category: conversational optimization.

“Because our platform is API-first, PTV Mira can directly orchestrate our underlying technology stack. She has write access to the engines, not just read access to dashboards. That’s the real breakthrough — conversational control over real actions.” - Douglas Wilson (PTV Logistics Chief Technology Officer)
