The third season of DigiKey’s Supply Chain Transformed video series, which is supported by Omron Automation and onsemi, has now released. The upcoming season will highlight cutting-edge technologies that are driving the logistics sector’s future, such as the Internet of Things.
The logistics industry is going through a massive digital revolution. Technologies like drone delivery systems, augmented reality, and the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into the Internet of Things (IoT) are redefining traditional logistics in order to increase efficiency and streamline operations. Supply Chain Transformed’s third season examines how the logistics sector is evolving due to the upcoming surge of tech-enabled use cases.
“Optimizing Supply Chain Logistics,” the first of three videos in the series, explores how supply chain and logistics technology is changing. The episode focuses on how leaders are modernizing and future-proofing their supply chain logistics, as well as the technology that are being utilized to manage warehouse inventory more effectively.
The significance of traceability across the design and production process is examined in the second video, “Traceability on a Global Scale.” The episode examines how real-time data and process visibility lower costs, increase efficiencies, and prevent breakdowns from conception to execution.
Watch the third and last video, “Crossing the Digital Frontier,” to learn how advanced technology can improve demand forecasting, inventory management, predictive maintenance, and more.
Key Comments
“The evolution of the supply chain will come from combining new and existing technologies for better overall efficiency,” said Josh Mickolio, technology business development manager for DigiKey. “DigiKey works closely with suppliers like onsemi and Omron to ensure the widespread availability of products that drive innovation and accelerate progress not only in the supply chain but across industries.”
“Traceability can increase efficiency, reduce costs and provide better control over product while protecting the company’s business and brand,” said Ben Hawks, product manager, traceability for Omron. “The evolution of supply chain technology allows Omron to verify that every part has a quality mark so that it can be read at any location and throughout the product’s life cycle, decreasing costs and generating supply chain efficiencies.”
“At onsemi, our vertically integrated manufacturing supply chain for silicon carbide (SiC) and our hybrid manufacturing for image sensors both emphasize superior quality, resilience and flexibility,” said Julia Zibrida, Vice President, Distribution Sales for onsemi. “By controlling every step from crystal growth to product packaging in SiC or blending in-house capabilities with strategic collaborations for intelligent sensing technologies, we ensure innovative, scalable and cost-effective solutions while reducing supply risks. Consistently meeting the high standards of the automotive, industrial and other markets fuels our channel partners’ growth.”
