In place of the old world, an ecosystem has emerged where success is determined by the ability to react quickly to non-obvious signals: from sudden fuel cost increases and port throughput in Singapore to the shopping behaviors of TikTok users. There are so many variables that we need the help of technology that not only analyzes but also simulates the future. McKinsey estimates that the use of artificial intelligence in logistics and manufacturing could bring companies up to $1.3 trillion in annual profits – provided it is used not as a gadget, but as a decision-making tool. This is how the biggest players already operate: Amazon builds digital twins of its distribution centers to test hundreds of scenarios in real-time before a package even hits the conveyor belt. Maersk uses AI to predict ship movements with an accuracy of a few hours, even before the vessels leave the port. Walmart analyzes local weather trends and social media activity to adjust inventory levels at a micro-regional scale. Enjoy your reading!
