Industrial Supply 4.0 Concepts
- Mobile apps capture inventory-related data, such as product details, locations, and activities and also provide data-guided replenishment suggestions.
- Automated supply uses technology to monitor inventory, control access, and track product use.
- Data analytics includes descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analysis.
- Captured data can be organized to visualize activities, patterns, and the current state.
- Simulated scenarios predict and prescribe future states.
Systems Integration
- EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) integration automates the procure-to-pay (P2P) cycle, feeding line-item details and usage data into the buyer's enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
- Integration of captured point-of-use data with supplier warehouse systems allows for a more proactive supply chain.
- Integrating buyer-supplier demand forecasting systems helps avoid gaps and risks.
Artificial Intelligence
- AI can accelerate insight and understanding within increasing complexity and risk.
- In supply chains it synthesizes datasets and variables to predict demand, synchronize production, and optimize decisions for procurement and logistics.
Collaboration
- The goal of Industry 4.0 is to improve human activities, such as logistics, engineering, production, and customer experience.
- A key step is to move beyond data segmentation and embrace data sharing across the supply chain.
- Organizations should seek partners invested in technologies to capture and share supply chain data.
