In the aerospace industry, Sopra Steria has developed AI-powered supply chain solutions to enhance operational agility and risk management. Their AI-based cockpit provides real-time and predictive insights into supply chain events and performance. This system captures realtime transactional data from product flows, inventories, and orders across the network, transforming raw data into valuable key performance indicators (KPIs) for rapid situational understanding. Additionally, AI algorithms gather and filter public information from open data sources to identify events that could disrupt supply and delivery processes, such as natural disasters or traffic congestion. By integrating this exogenous risk information into the cockpit, supply chain practitioners can make informed decisions based on a comprehensive view of both internal and external real-time situations.
