The AI Reckoning: Understanding What AI Means to Containerized Supply Chains

Artificial intelligence is both a buzzword and a real thing, a range of technological tools infused in the products the global logistics industry already uses, from strategic transportation planning to customer service. But it is also oversold in virtually every conversation among 3PLs, shippers, carriers, ports, and software vendors. At this point, it’s safe to say AI’s impact will be evolutionary, not revolutionary.

TPM Tech is the forum to take stock of where AI is meaningful to the world of container shipping. That means understanding:

• The branches of AI that are relevant to containerized supply chain problems.
• The use cases that will create tangible benefit for shippers.
• Whether AI is being used in the background or in a customer-facing way.
• Whether AI is even the right tool to be used to solve a specific problem.

All of this takes time, something most logistics practitioners don’t have the luxury of wasting. Over two days at TPM Tech, attendees will learn to better value their most important and finite resource: their time. The time it takes to understand what AI is and isn’t, the time it takes to determine whether AI is the proper tool to address a specific logistics problem, and the time it takes to weigh the relative quality of AI-based solutions.
