“Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more pervasive in our lives, and that extends to commercial organizations as well. Logistics and supply chain are some of the industries that have successfully adopted AI technology to improve operational efficiency. One of the ways that AI is being used in logistics is in route optimization. Machine learning algorithms can analyze large volumes of data to calculate the fastest and most efficient routes possible. This can result in significant time and cost savings for companies.
Another way that AI is being used in logistics is in inventory monitoring. Artificial intelligence tools can be used to monitor stock levels in real-time, which allows organizations to take immediate action to avoid product shortages or excess inventory. Furthermore, this technology can also be used to predict future demand spikes, allowing companies to prepare accordingly.
Artificial intelligence can also be useful in automating order processing. AI-powered tools can analyze data from previous orders to determine the best processing method for each new order individually. This not only ensures faster and more efficient processing, but also reduces the risk of human errors during order processing.”
Perhaps you thought that the text above seems simple and somewhat comprehensive, but know that no words were written by the author of this article, but by an automated script that received as input only the title of the post. The algorithm can be found at OpenAi and it is possible to replicate a similar text in a few seconds.
In addition to the brief guidelines on more practical applications of logistics provided by our robot friend, it is fascinating and encouraging to see the ability to search and obtain a huge range of knowledge accumulated over the years by the limited Homo sapiens and, with that, to assimilate a perception of reality that is increasingly closer to that understood by human beings. I imagine that in the not too distant future we will be able to transcend these perspectives, so fundamental for our own advancement, and accelerate the development that was possible by the human imagination.
If you want to learn more about new technologies such as artificial intelligence and its applications in the supply chain, be sure to check out the trail “Innovation and Technology in Logistics and Supply Chain” on 28th International Supply Chain Forum, which will take place between October 18 and 20, 2022 in a hybrid form (in São Paulo and Online). Tickets are now on sale.
