Next-gen supply chain: Leveraging innovation and technology

The industrial sector is embarking on a new era of autonomous operations in which machines, equipment and systems can perform tasks and make decisions without human intervention. To put it simply, automation and AI are transforming the supply chain, speeding things up, making processes more efficient and meeting customer demands like never before. Companies that don't truly commit to making transformative changes toward autonomy will find it tough to keep up.
