    Shifting Patterns in Logistics Industry

    By Apac CIO Outlook | Monday, March 11, 2019

    People are accustomed to everything being online and right at their fingertips for immediate access. The primary goal of technology is to make tasks less costly and more efficient. Particularly in the case of the logistics field, the capacity is less, labour is not easily available, and customer demands are more stringent than ever before. Improvements have already been made in the logistics industry, and things are progressing as modernization continue to evolve. Here are three ways logistics companies could use technology to transform the business to implement it fully and benefit from it.

    The Power of Sensors

    Sensors can help organizations do extraordinary things. In the logistics landscape sensors give companies a substantial advantage in market place. Implementing sensors on cargo palettes, shipping containers, and on trucks can help companies track their products in real-time and also file claims with insurers faster and with more accuracy if something is missing. Deploying sensors also boost the company's value and makes it more accountable for customers directly impacting their top line.

    A Digital Twin

    Digital twin is essentially a digital replica of logistics business operations. Every operation of the company is tracked by the sensors relaying back the data to create opportunities to enhance the processes. Digital twin is the most appropriate way for logistics enterprises to make cost savings. It also helps companies create value for their customers by giving them insights into the movement of the goods that otherwise they would never have.  The data from digital twin can assist exporters, and e-commerce companies reduce inventory cost, manage customer expectation regarding delivery schedules, and actively handle their demand and supply pressures.

    The Big Data

    When companies have sensors associated with their operations they collect data in the large volume. This data can be helpful for the companies to gain insights into better efficiencies and better understand wastages, delays, lags, and challenges that hinder their business. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning models create data which can be used in innovative ways. For instance, assist further optimize the processes internally and create predictive maintenance solutions that reduce downtime. Embracing the latest technology is a must to remain competitive and enhance efficiency. As technology will continue to grow the opportunity to reap advantages will also rise.
