Artificial intelligence (AI) will not replace seasoned professionals in cold chain logistics any time soon, according to Quintin Botha, strategic partnership lead at CtrlFleet

The jury is still out on the leap to a cognitive AI solution that can solve real-time problems while navigating the complexities of a global or, for that matter, local supply chain,” he told Freight News. People need to talk to people to keep freight moving. “As we anticipate the emergence of cognitive solutions and their potential impact, it's important to note that technology connecting supply chains requires collaboration. “Strategic partnerships are pivotal in enabling the exploration of advanced technologies and finding the balance between supply chain transparency and potential regulatory constraints.

The GCCA (Global Cold Chain Alliance) provides a platform for various stakeholders to collaborate and develop frameworks for the global adoption of transparency.

“The collaboration will be critical for generating and adapting cognitive models that could automate complex problem-solving in global cold chain progression and congregate automation, visibility, and sustainability,” he said. Technology is impacting the cold chain logistics landscape in other ways.“One of the most exciting advancements in the cold chain industry is the increased visibility through real-time monitoring.

“This technology empowers operations teams to react swiftly to temperature changes and predict potential issues before they escalate into a waste event, significantly improving operational efficiency,” he said.
