The role of automation: building resilient supply chains in uncertain times
Over the past few years, global supply chains have experienced unprecedented levels of disruption, from the Covid pandemic and shifting geopolitical alliances to climate volatility and port congestion, exerting sustained pressure on the logistics sector. While many of these challenges lie beyond a company’ s direct control, one powerful lever remains within the reach of logistics leaders: automation.
When applied across transportation management, demand planning and real-time visibility, automation has the potential to transform disruption into resilience. For companies operating in fastmoving, highly regulated industries such as food and beverage, this shift is not just strategic; it’ s essential.
