Welcome to Digital Strategies 2024
The power and impact of AI on supply chain and logistics – and its limitations
Using AI, including machine learning, data analytics, and generative AI, automotive manufacturers have the potential to greatly improve intelligent decisions across supply chains and operations, speed up delivery times and reduce cost. Our opening session goes beyond the buzz to how AI and genAI can help major players and suppliers to compete.
As OEMs, suppliers and logistics operators develop their digital supply chains, the use of artificial intelligence and genAI could revolutionise the efficiency and resilience of the network, whilst providing new insights in real-time, allowing them to respond to disruptions quicker, improve forecasts, keep ahead of competition whilst helping to share and spread information in real time.
This session will explore key areas where AI and genAI are benefiting the supply chain and playing a key role helping European manufacturers stay competitive in their supply chains. Hear a keynote from the chief digital officer of major tier-1 ZF, along with insights from an expert panel, on how the technology can support designing and validating components faster, detect errors, manage changes and optimise logistics and supply chain. It will also discuss the main barriers to success and what can be done to overcome those barriers.
Important to implementing IT is building the right understanding, skills and teams, including mixing digital, data AI and supply chain experts to ensure the optimum outcomes, easy access to clean data, having a clear strategy and upgrading legacy systems to enable AI to do its work.
Networking coffee break and exhibition visit
Interactive standing workshops
Join your peers in deep-dive, interactive workshops focused on topics exploring operational data, people and organisational change, investment and ROI, integration and interoperability and partnerships.
In these highly interactive sessions, which will be led by subject-matter experts, attendees will be invited to join groups for a deep-dive into critical topics in supply chain digitalisation. Each group will discuss the challenges and come up with three solutions or pathways to solutions. These sessions are collaborative by nature and provide a chance to also network with colleagues and work together on topics that will be explored throughout the event.
