Use cases

AI in the supply chain: efficient, resilient and sustainable

The supply chain is the backbone of every company – it determines how efficiently, reliably and cost-effectively goods and services reach customers. However, in a globalized and dynamic world, traditional methods quickly reach their limits. Delays, inefficiencies and a lack of transparency can cause enormous costs and jeopardize competitiveness. Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the supply chain by:

The AI use cases in the supply chain at a glance

Dynamic route planning

Problem: Routes and deliveries are often planned inefficiently, resulting in lost time and higher costs. Solution: AI analyzes traffic data, delivery priorities and resources to calculate optimal routes in real time. Benefits: Faster deliveries, reduced transport costs and lower resource consumption.

Demand forecast

Problem: Inaccurate forecasts lead to overstocking or supply bottlenecks. Solution: AI creates precise forecasts based on historical data, seasonal trends and external factors. Benefits: Accurate planning, reduced storage costs and fewer shortages.

Anomaly detection in the supply chain

Problem: Deviations and disruptions are often detected late, which leads to delays. Solution: AI continuously monitors the supply chain, detects deviations and suggests measures. Benefits: Faster problem detection, fewer disruptions and more stable processes.

Optimization of stock levels

Problem: Stock levels are often either too high or insufficient.
Solution: AI analyzes order patterns and consumption data to calculate optimal stock levels.
Benefits: Reduced inventory costs, optimized capacity utilization and improved delivery capability.

Sustainability management

Problem: Supply chain processes are often not optimized for sustainability, which increases environmental and regulatory risks. Solution: AI evaluates the carbon footprint of the supply chain and suggests more sustainable alternatives. Benefits: Fulfillment of sustainability goals, compliance with legal requirements and positive contribution to corporate reputation.
