Manufacturers demand data and AI driven supply chain transparency in time critical logistics says DANX Carousel

Manufacturers now expect logistics suppliers to further integrate with their operating systems DANX Carousel Chief Information Officer, Mohan Palaniandy, has told delegates at a recent supply chain transparency conference.

Palaniandy went on to list the benefits of AI and data, as improved efficiencies throughout the supply chain, brought through complete inventory oversight and final mile route optimisation, are now overcoming traditional barriers to data sharing.

“DANX Carousel will continue to enhance its time critical capabilities while reducing waste in the supply chain at every possible step in its operations - full digital transparency between stakeholders delivers both,” said Palaniandy.

“DANX Carousel is committed to improving transparency in the supply chain and recommend businesses conduct internal training, review service level agreements and key performance indicators, and invest in technological advancements in the final mile, aiming for full integration with logistics suppliers.”

Palaniandy’s comments follow the publication of a research paper by DANX Carousel which formed the basis of a conference in Birmingham recently, bringing together industry experts to address transparency challenges in the supply chain.

During the conference, speakers, including Andrew Lowery, UK Managing Director, Carousel Logistics, noted how supply chain managers are increasingly arguing the case for seamless integration as the uninterrupted flow of data prompts manufacturers’ replenishment workflow.

“The logistics industry is undergoing a digital revolution,” said Klaus Rud Sejling, Chief Executive Officer, DANX Carousel.

“AI, machine learning, and data are transforming supply chains, improving their transparency, efficiency, and profitability in turn.

“For time-critical logistics, increased data transparency across the supply chain must be the goal and we should now work across industries to break down data silos and embrace new technologies.”

The conference, held in Birmingham, was part of a series of events taking place across Sweden, Germany, and the UK exploring the benefits of a more transparent supply chain and best practice for companies.
