· Source: supplychainbrain.com
In short
This article explores how artificial intelligence is transforming yard management in manufacturing supply chains, moving from fragmented, manual operations to integrated, intelligent systems. It highlights the case of Coca-Cola HBC Austria in Edelstal, which implemented INFORM's Syncrosupply solution with AI-driven algorithms to optimize truck scheduling, automate weighing and loading processes, and achieve full transparency across yard operations.
