Transporting perishable goods, whether its medicine or produce, is no easy task and requires intense planning. Supply chain and logistics professionals have employed a number of solutions over the past years to ‘get more visibility’ to what is happening and avoid issues. Yet, even with devices frequently transmitting temperature & location in real time, cold chains around the world still suffer from product loss and products arriving with less shelf life than expected. Join Supply Chain Now host Scott Luton, along with Ilya Preston and Brian Shultz with PAXAFE and dive into the reasons why visibility falls short and discover: Why “getting more visibility” isn’t the only solution—many cold chain operations are sitting on valuable data with hidden insights ready to be uncovered. The challenges of handling vast new data streams, including the costs, staffing needs, and limits of human-based monitoring for scaling insights. How managed logistics data can speed decision-making, cut costs, and provide a competitive edge by transforming sensor data into actionable insights. The power of data-driven decisions across domains and how teams leveraging AI can confidently respond to leadership with consistent, fact-based insights.

Recent disruptions have exposed the single points of failures within our supply chains, and major nations across the globe are now contemplating or pushing towards ‘sovereignty’ of their supply chains. ‘Made in America’ is one such initiative for the White House with an eye toward building American Supply Chain Resilience. Similar initiatives are in play by EU, India, and other governments Join Supply Chain Insights’ Lora Cecere, Supply Chain Now’s Scott Luton, and Coupa’s Madhav Durbha in this highly thought-provoking session, exploring ideas such as: -What a “sovereign” or “Made in America” supply chain looks like -Forces that are driving the government and organizations towards sovereign supply chains -Implications for your supply chain -How to prepare
