Unleashing the Power of AI in Supply Chain
New study exploring the transformative impact of AI in supply chain management
NAVIGATING TOMORROW'S SUPPLY CHAIN THROUGH TRENDS, INSIGHTS AND CASE STUDIES
In today's dynamic logistics landscape, characterized by digitalization and transformative technologies, supply chain professionals confront urgent demands for adaptation. Facing six disruptive challenges, from market growth to resource shortages and customer expectations, companies risk inefficiencies and service compromises. New entrants and sustainability concerns heighten competition and cost pressures. Significant investments are required to meet the technological requirements. Managers need to act swiftly to navigate these complexities and ensure resilient, efficient supply chains. Furthermore, urgency increases as we consider the impact of Industry 4.0 technologies’ (I4.0T) on management. I4.0T integrates transformative technologies like 3D Printing, robotics, Augmented & Virtual Reality, Blockchain, Artificial intelligence, Cloud Computing, & Big Data, Internet of Things, and Simulation & Digital Twins.
Recognizing AI's pivotal role in unleashing its potential is crucial. Artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses various technologies and applications, aiming to mimic human cognitive abilities. It analyzes data, learns, and acts intelligently, particularly through machine learning.
The whitepaper Unleashing the Power of AI in Supply Chain explores the pivotal role of AI in logistics, showcasing its impact through three compelling use cases: AI-powered inventory management for Murata, vision technology for high-tech clients, and finance fraud detection. Each case illuminates the challenges faced by the client, outlines proposed solutions, and highlights the resulting benefits.
AI has rapidly become indispensable in the logistics landscape, with industry leaders foreseeing even greater impact on logistics and supply chain management (SCM). Embracing AI is crucial for businesses to ensure profitability, operational efficiency, and environmental stewardship, thereby laying the foundation for sustainable prosperity.
The author of this whitepaper, our colleague Karoline Kowalik, brings extensive expertise as a Logistics Engineer and a PhD researcher at Maastricht University. Her specialization in Industry 4.0 technologies, including robotics, AGVs, ASRS, as well as sustainability, contributes to her research, which explores the interplay of innovation, sustainability, circular economy principles, and sustainable decision-making.
