mergingHow Emerging Technologies are re-shaping the future of Logistics

With the acute restrictions and lockdowns due to the spread of COVID-19, many companies have now begun to move to a “recovery mode” and have started planning for the longer term. As companies seek to strengthen operations and business resilience, the importance of supply chain resilience and risk management is more apparent than ever.

Autonomous trucks like those from Tesla, Uber, and Embark use deep learning algorithms and optimize delivery routes. An autonomous six-wheel cooler-box robot is expected to drop off your packages a few hours after your order is placed.

Another example is Walmart. This American retail giant recently partnered with US-based robotics company Nuro to launch autonomous delivery robots to add to their existing delivery options.

Some of the emerging technologies bound to influence the future of logistics are the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, 3D Printing, Drone delivery, and Driverless Cars. Read more about these emerging technologies here.
