ALTERNATIVE FUELS OUTLOOK FOR SHIPPING

whitePaper | September 15, 2022

Ships require a constant energy supply for propulsion and other onboard systems. Fuel requirements and consumption are essential parameters to factor in at the design phase. Adopting alternative fuels will raise important considerations as to the operating profile and architecture of the ship and the need to train crews in their safe storage and use, for instance.

Data science for supply chain whitepaper

whitePaper | May 17, 2022

From Master Data driving ERP software to real-time IoT streams enabling fine grain tracking and optimization, Data is omnipresent when dealing with Supply Chain processes. However, the abundant information is not always leveraged to actually improve the overall flow. Often locked away in specialized software, siloed between departments of the same company or simply not made accessible to business practitioners, the premise of a data-driven Supply Chain falls short of expectations.

A Global Rewiring: Redefining Global Value Chains for the Future

whitePaper | January 14, 2023

Current macroeconomic developments make it clear that returning to a pre-COVID-19 “normal” is not in sight. Manufacturers are facing headwinds in the form of double-digit inflation, labour shortages and energy scarcity, along with new regulations that are driving an increasing imperative to reduce waste and emissions. These headwinds impose new constraints on operations, drive complexity and unveil hidden vulnerabilities, fundamentally changing the balance of supply and demand in the process. It is no surprise that global value chain failures are becoming more commonplace in such a challenging business environment

Creating Open, Smart and Self-healing Supply Chains

whitePaper | September 9, 2022

There are almost no supply chains left unbruised right now, as multiple waves of hard-hitting disruptions challenged even the most experienced of operators. We are, by now, completely aware of the fissures in supply chains that can rapidly open into chasms. The next big question is how to move on and create the supply chain of the future that is resilient against shocks? The answer lies in strengthening the shared data links across supply chains, and then turning this information into insights that can then be acted upon rapidly and decisively. The inherent complexity of most modern supply chains means that this is no easy task and that human operators need help in moving towards this goal, especially as the data flows are only going to increase with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT).
