Transforming the way, we move goods from one country to another has always been a challenge, but as we advance in technology, investment and infrastructure, the challenges diminish but are still relevant, especially in terms of logistics.
Some of the benefits that have been added this year are:
Improved efficiency, real-time visibility and informed decision-making that allow goods to be tracked in a better way, improving the quality of deliveries and even more so the care in the routes.
Reducing the carbon footprint
Another of the great challenges in which logistics have been seen is the reduction of the carbon footprint in journeys via sea and land, thus improving not only the routes but also the fuels that are used, in the same way it has implied the analysis of the routes and improvements in times to make them much more sustainable.
This has also implied improving the packaging used for loading and the implementation of renewable energies.
AI in logistics
Artificial intelligence has revolutionized logistics, enabling unprecedented optimization in key processes:
Predictive analytics: With its ability to process large amounts of data, AI anticipates supply chain disruptions, such as weather delays or changes in demand, allowing for more effective planning.
Process automation: AI tools automate repetitive tasks, from inventory management to route planning. This not only saves time, but it also reduces operating costs.
Increased supply chain security: AI monitors potential risks, such as theft or damage, increasing the protection of goods during transport.
In 2024, logistics is not only a key element for global trade, but also an ever-evolving sector that faces complex challenges with innovation and resilience. The integration of advanced technologies, coupled with a commitment to sustainability, will continue to set the course for more efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly logistics.
