At MODEX 2026 in Atlanta, Scott Luton sat down with Tevon Taylor, Senior Vice President of Contract Logistics at Pegasus Logistics Group, for a candid conversation about what’s really driving success (and failure) in today’s supply chains. From tariffs and AI to warehouse inefficiencies and leadership mindset, Taylor’s perspective cuts through the noise with a simple truth: technology matters, but execution matters more.   Disruption Is the New Normal If there’s one constant in 2026, it’s disruption. Tariffs, geopolitical uncertainty, and shifting trade lanes are no longer occasional challenges. They’re baked into the system. “You can’t stick to the old methods of running your supply chain. You must constantly find new ways to gain resilience,” Taylor explains. That resilience starts with flexibility. Companies that rely on rigid, linear networks are increasingly vulnerable. Instead, supply chain leaders must rethink how they design and operate their networks. Taylor emphasizes the need for multi-threaded strategies: nearshoring, domestic sourcing, and diversified transportation routes. In short, supply chains must evolve from static systems into adaptable ecosystems.   AI Is More of a Requirement Than a Buzzword While some technologies come and go as industry cliches or flavor of the month, Taylor is clear that artificial…

The whitepaper explores why leading electronics companies are moving beyond spreadsheets to implement dedicated BOM management solutions that strengthen supply chain resilience, reduce costs, and accelerate time-to-market. What’s Inside This Whitepaper? Readiness checklist: When is it time to move away from spreadsheets? (hint: if you’ve had a costly redesign due to component availability, it’s time) Best practices for effective BOM management for electronics teams Key use cases of a BOM management system Overview of Altium BOM Portal ROI calculation examples with real-world savings Key Benefits of Altium BOM Portal Faster BOM completion with enriched supply chain data Data-driven BOM analysis for supply chain risk mitigation Comprehensive part library with full traceability Streamlined collaboration between engineering and procurement Cost savings on every BOM with automated saving opportunities Why Engineers Trust BOM Portal Nowadays, there are so many supply chain disruptions, maybe the PCB boards take weeks to come back. When you have an error there, the real cost is burning those 6-8 weeks. Because you’re using Altium 365 tools, you’re looking at maybe an 80% reduction in time to market. — Brandon Gilles, Founder/CEO, Luxonis
