Logistics prepares for a new digital transformation

By 2023, the adoption of technologies such as computer vision and deep learning will drive the supply chain forward. Driverless fleets, autonomous warehouse management and simulation are just some of the optimisations that will lead to a new era in smart logistics and the global supply chain.

One topic that has been discussed over the past few years is the fragility of the global supply chain. We remember first-rate product deliveries, unavailable products, empty shelves. While Amazon has improved its supply chains with innovative solutions such as digital freight matching and delivery stations, many companies have continued to struggle with logistical challenges.

But this reality is about to change, and it will start with the manufacturing of the products themselves. IoT sensors in factories will proliferate and machine learning will be used not only to predict machine failures, but also to prevent them. Less downtime means consistent production.
