CNBC reports that U.S. port negotiations face ongoing challenges, particularly regarding automation 🤖. While wage increases have been agreed upon, the automation issue remains unresolved as the January 15 deadline approaches ⏳. The debate highlights the need for balanced approaches to technology integration in logistics. While automation can improve efficiency, solutions that automate specific processes without wholesale worker displacement offer a middle ground for freight forwarders ⚖️. Industry experts advise starting small and focusing on high-impact areas when implementing new technologies. As negotiations continue, logistics professionals are advised to stay informed, prepare contingency plans, and consider responsible automation integration strategies 📊. https://lnkd.in/gCPDtekC #GenAI #Automation #LogisticsAI #SupplyChainAI #PricingOptimization #FreightAI #Freight #Logistics #SupplyChain

A recent SupplyChainBrain article highlights a critical issue in manufacturing: despite AI's massive potential, many companies are struggling to implement it successfully 🤖. Soter Analytics’ CEO points out that only one in five generative AI projects in manufacturing are considered successful. The main hurdles are legacy systems that struggle to integrate with state-of-the-art AI, overly ambitious implementation strategies, and unrealistic expectations about AI capabilities. Hart suggests a more measured approach: start small, focus on specific problems, and implement AI in phases while keeping humans in the loop 🔄. We’re all for implementing AI gradually. StarDox allows freight forwarders to start small, automating key processes like invoicing and bookings 📑, with the flexibility to add more complex use cases like RFQ and POs over time.

Greg Kefer from Raft forecasts that while self-flying 777s may still be a distant reality, AI is already transforming crucial business information systems in air cargo. This evolution can potentially solve long-standing issues like fragmented communication and delayed updates. Also, data "black holes" that prevent real-time tracking and proactive exception management should be eliminated. The Air Cargo News article sheds light on AI’s ability to process complex tasks autonomously—approving invoices, booking shipments, and alerting partners about potential delays. Such automation improves response times and decision-making, where hours can make a big difference.
