Signal AI, blockchain, IoT sensors and 3D printing are named as supply chain remedies

Summary

This signal lists technologies the report says are helping solve supply chain problems. Artificial intelligence is optimising inventory management and logistics. Blockchain can provide transparency and traceability, lowering the risk of counterfeit products. Internet of Things sensors that follow goods in transit supply real-time data for better-informed decisions. 3D printing allows more local, on-demand production, simplifying supply chains and reducing the need for large inventories. The report later suggests that such technologies may improve global supply chains enough to make a dramatic reorganisation less likely.
