Around 80% of warehouses still aren’t automated – but that’s changing. Why? Because digital supply chain solutions get results.2 From manufacturing and warehouses, through to delivery, smart decision-making, and documentation - supply chain technologies are enabling automation, innovative solutions, increased productivity, lower costs, and efficiency.1
Automated warehouse solutions: AI and physical AI
AI is a game-changer in automated warehouse solutions, enabling businesses to gain a competitive edge through smarter decision-making and operational optimisation. But what are the key ingredients to successfully implementing an AI strategy across your supply chain? And what should you watch out for? Matthias Winkenbach, Principal Research Scientist at the MIT Centre for Transportation and Logistics shares his insights into successfully implementing an AI strategy across your supply chain in this episode of Thought starters - Implementing AI in the supply chain. He then examines its broader implications in Impact of AI in supply chain logistics.
For AI to work effectively in any organisation, there needs to be practical use cases and real business value. Nicole Büttner, Founder and CEO of Merantix Momentum explains the transformative potential of AI for global operations in The power of AI in global supply chains.
Most of us are now familiar with artificial intelligence and its potential to enhance efficiency and productivity. But in this episode of Thought starters, Dr Ivan Poupyrev, Founder and CEO of Archetype AI says that so far the focus has been in the online world, yet we should be considering physical AI to solve real-world problems. In the episode What’s possible with physical AI, Dr Ivan demonstrates physical AI’s potential.
Automated warehouse solutions: Last-mile
Challenges in last-mile delivery, often considered one of the most complex part of the supply chain, can be mitigated through automation. Goodman’s Insights article on Last-mile delivery automation explores the challenges and solutions of automated last-mile delivery.
Automated warehouse solutions: robotics
The significance of robotic automation in warehouse operations has increased reshaping how businesses manage inventory and fulfil orders. In this episode of Thought starters, Rosalind Shinkle, CEO and Co-founder of Adagy Robotics, explains the pivotal role robotics play in supply chains today, and its potential for tomorrow.
While our Insights article (link) examines the role of robots, including “cobots” (robots that collaboratively work alongside humans) in more detail. Robots aren’t new, but their uptake continues to grow. Robots can pick items, move pallets, load vehicles, and even deliver goods by driving autonomous vehicles2 because of advancements in machine vision, end-of-arm tooling and software.1 All this helps reduce costs and improve safety, accuracy and productivity.3
