AI PIPELINE AI tools and systems for supply chain stakeholders
Carriers gain an AI pricing edge. PCS Software integrated Triumph’s Market Rate Intelligence into its Cortex Opportunity Manager and Backhaul Booster, giving dispatchers live rate benchmarks drawn from more than 65% of North America’s brokered freight. Carriers can now price and prioritize loads before accepting them. AI gives field work its own paper trail. BeyondTrucks introduced Field Dispatch, a new capability that lets drivers digitally capture customer-directed work in real time. The data feeds directly into billing and driver pay, while informing the development of BeyondTrucks’ next AI tools. Palletizing lines get a boost from AI. Doosan Robotics unveiled PalletizHD+, a new AI-powered palletizing solution built on its PalletizOS platform. Paired with SwiftMove, an AI-based motion optimization technology, the system can stack up to 11 boxes per minute and generates stacking patterns from box and pallet dimensions. A phone becomes an AI-powered shelf inspector. Retail technology companies weR and RGIS are expanding their collaboration to bring AI-powered shelf intelligence to retailers across the United
MICHELIN now oers an AI assistant on its fleet platform to help fleet managers.
Fleet managers get instant answers. MICHELIN Connected Fleet now oers an AI assistant integrated into its MyConnectedFleet platform to improve fleet managers’ operational performance. The AI assistant acts as a partner for managers of heavy goods vehicle, passenger transport, and light commercial vehicle fleets, providing insights into fuel consumption, driver behavior, and journey- related data. AI flags risks before the order ships. UPS Capital’s new CommerceShield solution uses predictive AI to score order risk from checkout to delivery, then automates safeguards such as holding fulfillment or requiring signatures. The platform unifies fraud prevention, shipping insurance, and chargeback management in one system. AI creates a customs-compliant item description from one photo. DHL Express introduced a new system, now live for customers in the United Arab Emirates, that uses AI-powered item identification built into DHL’s browser-based shipping tool. Customers can take a photo of the item they want to send using their smartphone or computer. AI then generates a clear, customs-compliant description and inserts it into the appropriate field for customs documentation.
States and Europe. weR’s Shelf Engine platform runs on standard mobile phones, using AI and augmented reality to spot empty shelves, planogram gaps, and pricing errors in real time. Through this joint deployment, retailers can accelerate shelf auditing and operational shelf checks. AI takes over load acceptance calls. HOPTEK’s new LOAD ACCEPTOR automates the decision to accept, price, or route incremental freight, weighing contract loads against spot-market opportunities within minutes of a tender. The tool works across asset and non-asset models and allows human override.
The RGIS platform, using the weR Shelf Engine to overlay AI product identification, helps associates perform retail store audits.
