Data in Motion Connected Supply Chain Predictability removes waste

Building a data-driven supply chain requires the ability to leverage data from a variety of streams, connecting what was previously unconnected for delivery of real-time information and insights. From raw material producers to the factory floor to the warehouse, businesses need visibility and predictability to help increase efficiencies, control costs and optimize ROI.

Advanced knowledge reduces negative impactsUnderstanding supply chain vulnerabilities enables businesses to better plan and manage their workforce. Having data and insights readily available fosters better decision making and leads to actions that make a difference in reducing shortages of components needed to make products and in stocking items in stores. Businesses that can take corrective actions in advance will be able to adequately supply their customers, leading to better customer experiences and increased loyalty.

Unlock data, unlock valueBuilding a secure and robust supply chain requires capturing, applying, distributing, generating and securely storing data that’s on the move. Products are by no means stationary. Insights from this data will lead to better, more actionable outcomes that maximize the value of business assets.

Become less reactive and more predictive Insights generated from multiple data sources enable businesses to become less reactive to delays and more predictive. These insights also reduce manual efforts in planning and understand where bottlenecks are likely to occur. Integrated data from a variety of sources offers a new prism through which to view needed actions.

Maximize production, minimize wasteKnowing when and how supplies will be available improves production planning, minimizes waste and provides assurance for customers. Costs can be controlled in the process and ROI maximized via increased speed to market and reduced costs of just-in-time delivery.

For sensitive components, sensors capture data such as temperature and humidity to provide real-time actionable insights and equipment adjustments.

5Data is also aggregated at the edge and sent to a central cloud-enabled supply chain hub that uses AI and machine learning capabilities to make supply chain predictions. Enable real-time scenario planning by adjusting the impacts of each demand driver on forecasts at multiple levels.

6Sensors on assembled products provide real-time visibility into shipment location and progress and can even monitor temperature.

7Routes are optimized and better delivery decisions are made in transitioning goods.

8Human error, waste and loss of revenue are reduced by proactive product monitoring and warehouse placement.
