DHL predicts major role of artificial intelligence for logistics

According to logistics company DHL, artificial intelligence (AI) - robot and other technology - is set to become a major part of the industry. Logistics Manager reports that the company has predicted 26 trends, which span the future five to ten years of logistics, in its Trend Radar paper. Outlining transformational trends in the paper, DHL has found that AI and personalisation have been the main drivers of these expected changes to the industry. One of the main ones includes intelligent supply chains, which use either self-learning or machine learning systems. As the industry becomes slowly more autonomous, there are going to be new heights of optimisation in manufacturing, logistics, warehousing and last-mile delivery.
