Technology Tactics For A Digital Supply Chain

Supply Chain professionals reported disruptions, employee shortages, and high customer demand as a not-so-tasty soup of problems in a recent Statista survey. Executives point to technology as one solution.

“We’re stepping in with supply chain solutions,” said Scott Hudson, BinMaster VP Sales & Marketing. “We’ve installed a record amount of level sensors and software to help virtually every industry that stores bulk inventory in silos, bins, and tanks.”

BinMaster’s success seems a trend according to another worldwide survey of 2,000 executives by Capgemini Research Institute. Forty percent expect to increase investment in tech enhancements like smart technology, Internet of Things, and analytics software.

By implementing technology and making moves like nearshoring, supply chains are beginning to see improvement according to the Institute for Supply Management. Ocean freight timelines are on a steady decline, ports are clearing, China lifted its “zero-Covid” policy and warehouses have begun to refill.

BinMaster systems fall into the high-tech inventory 4.0 solutions like IoT, end-to-end connectivity, cloud computing and cyber security. BinMaster radar sensors, for example, automatically measure levels in silos then send data to the BinCloud app bringing cloud-based decision-making data to an employee’s PC and even phones.

The 2023 Capgemini Study said:

• 92% of leaders say relocation of global supply chains will impact them (only 15% are equipped to handle it)
• 59% are focused on faster decision-making
• 72% are pursuing nearshoring and 65% are localizing their supplier base
• 89% say supply chain disruption is a top risk to business
• 72% look to reduce long-term costs
• 40% of large companies prioritize cybersecurity
