EVOLVING SUSTAINABILITY IN SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

whitePaper | November 1, 2019

In the fall of 2009 MIT CTL conducted a global survey of supply chain risk experiences, attitudes, and risk management practices. Over 1400 supply chain professionals from 70 countries participated. The survey asked business and supply chain managers their opinions about the importance of risk prevention compared to response preparedness. Overall, 54% of respondents considered risk prevention more important, 30% viewed them as equal, and 16% considered response preparedness more important.

Digital platforms provide the basis for tool-assisted development and efficient operation of software-based vehicle functions and thus pave the way for various new use cases and business models. The platforms create an ecosystem that must serve as an attractive environment offering added value to both parties – i.e. the provider and the user of services. With PANTARIS, ETAS has developed a solution that is tailored to the specific requirements of the automotive sector. This enables faster development of new functions and easier integration of these functions into the vehicle.

In 2021, as part of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), 19 countries, including the United States (U.S.), United Kingdom (U.K.), Chile and Australia, signed the Clydebank Declaration, which aims to support the establishment of at least six green corridors by the middle of this decade, intending to scale up over the decade. In April 2022, the U.S. Department of State (DOS) announced its objective to help set up green shipping corridors and provided high-level guidance on the building blocks for green shipping corridors. Maritime decarbonization is a particularly complex challenge with multiple pathways that are at various levels of technological and operational readiness.

No organization’s global supply chain has been untouched by the many unforeseen events that have ravaged the ability to move products from the point of manufacturing to the point of consumption. Public health threats and geopolitical events are just a few challenges to global supply chains—and they all appear to be happening concurrently. Whether you’re talking about business-to-consumer or business-to-business supply chains, the impact of these events has been undeniable. When evaluating their own supply chain risks, organizations should expect the unexpected, and plan their systems accordingly. And organizations need new ways to use data to promote efficiency, visibility, and resiliency in their global supply chains.

Ports and terminals have become increasingly automated, necessitating accurate and reliable technologies to keep operations running smoothly while protecting personnel safety. Avoiding collisions is especially critical to prevent potentially hazardous accidents, costly downtime, and damage to equipment. LiDAR solutions enable safety, security, and efficiency at ports and terminals around the world. With powerful 3D visualisation, long ranges, and resilience to the harshest environment day or night, 3D LiDAR sensors solve a wide range of critical applications including positioning, navigation and collision avoidance, bulk material profiling, and perimeter security and intrusion detection.
