Blue Yonder pushes supply chain AI toward autonomous operations
The supply chain sector has perhaps more to gain from the artificial intelligence age than any other sector.
Supply chains are subject to many different variables — weather, delays, legal restrictions — that traditional planning systems cannot always manage effectively. That’s why Blue Yonder Inc., a supply chain management company, has started using AI agents and models to manage its operations with greater speed and flexibility than older systems.
“For the first time in the industry’s history, we have end-to-end supply chain operations and solutions built on one common data model,” said Chris Burchett (pictured), senior vice president of generative AI at Blue Yonder. “Our agents are a huge part of that now, with the warehouse ops agent, logistics ops agent and inventory ops agent — these agents are now beginning to work alongside humans. They’ve grown from monitoring and analytics to actually more autonomous actions as well.”
Burchett spoke with theCUBE’s Dave Vellante for the “AI and the Autonomous Supply Chain” interview series on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how AI is transforming supply chain operations and Blue Yonder’s new partnership with Nvidia Corp. (* Disclosure below.)
