4)Next Gen GPS devices
5)Robots in Warehouse
Logistics is a vital part of every business model. It forms an
important part of the supply chain that involves planning,
implementation, forwarding and reversing the flow of goods,
services and related information from the origin to the
recipient. AI is transforming the logistics industry including
autonomous vehicles, smart roads, automated warehousing
and office operations. It is revolutions in logistics and supply
chain management in a big way.
3. 1)Self Driving Automobiles
Autonomous vehicles
(AVs) are a major
innovation of Industrial
Revolution . In practice, it
is easier to implement self-
driving on trucks running
on highways as compared
to self-driving cars running
in crowded marketplaces.
Trucks are one of the most
common and important
lifeline support systems.
One of the solutions is the
use of AI-based self-
driving trucks, which offer
not only making roads
safer but also cheaper and
more efficient.
4. 2)Smart Roads
Smart roads use Internet ofThings
(IoT) devices to make driving safer,
more efficient, and greener. Smart
roads combine physical
infrastructures such as sensors and
solar panels with software
infrastructure likeAI and big data.
Smart road technologies are
embedded in roads and can improve
visibility, generate energy,
communicate with autonomous
vehicles, monitor road conditions,
and more.
5. 3)Drones in Logistics
Drones are not only used for outdoor
deliveries but for running a
warehouse, too. Combined with good
logistics software, drones can
drastically improve efficiency of entire
logistics operations.
Some companies have already
started using drones within their own
four walls for intra-logistical purposes
in warehousing. Lightweight drones
are being equipped with sensor
technology for use in warehouses.
Companies like Amazon are using the
drones in logistics.
6. 4)Next Gen GPS Devices
GPS units are nothing new — they’ve been
around for decades. The biggest difference
when comparing modern GPS devices to
earlier models is the amount of functionality
seen in the newer hardware.
In the past, GPS devices were very limited.
They could calculate total mileage and
provide an estimated time of arrival to a
final location — but that was about it.
Today’s GPS units are much more versatile.
Not only do they fulfill the basic functionality
of planning a trip, but they can make
adjustments for extreme weather, traffic
conditions or even your preferred route.
7. 5) Robots in Warehouse
AI robots are used to track, locate and move
inventory within warehouses. Automated and
intelligent robots are fully capable of moving,
lifting and sorting items. Common AI robots used
in warehouses include picking, forklifts and
inventory. Robots are becoming increasingly
complex and intelligent with full autonomy for
some applications. These are well-suited for
repetitive load-handling processes and
operations. These have automated driving
systems with cameras and radar systems to
analyse the surrounding environment.
