Abstract
Handling the distribution of broilers has special attention. The distribution of poultry should be done in the shortest possible time to decrease broiler mortality rate. Real-time monitoring of poultry distribution is expected to control the stress level of poultry due to the length of travel time by limiting the delivery time window. In order to control the distribution time and distance, it is necessary to integrate vehicle routing and mobile technology. By adopting the digital twin-enabled framework model and combining it with Google APIs, web and mobile applications are generated to accommodate the real-time traveling time, vehicle capacity, and pickup-delivery activity. There is a significant change in travel distance in one delivery cycle after implementing the developed technology. The total travel distance was 493 KM decreased to 436 KM, which means a decrease of 11.5% from the initial total travel distance. In addition, there was a change in the total penalty time (delay) from 102 minutes to 85 minutes, decreasing delay time by 16.6%. This mobile technology's development can indirectly increase vehicle utilization by not overloading the vehicle capacity and reducing vehicle travel distance.
