AUTONOMOUS WAREHOUSE SITE TOURS: WEDNESDAY, 4 DECEMBER 2019
Site Tour A: YCH
09:00 – 11:30 Don’t miss this exclusive visit to Asia’s logistics Silicon Valley: Supply Chain City, located in the heart of Jurong Innovation District. Created to set new standards for supply chain excellence in Asia Pacific, this premier industrial nerve center is home to state-of-the-art warehousing and logistics technology – including the world’s first fusion of automated storage and retrieval with a fully ramped-up warehouse, and a smart machine learning organism that generates business intelligence from operations and trade flows across the region. On this tour, you will get up close with various advanced robotics and explore the Supply Chain and Logistics Innovation Playground (SCLIP), an innovation space featuring best-in-class supply chain technology.

 Site Tour B: Republic Poly
14:00 – 15:00 

Supply chains face ever-increasing pressure from a combination of factors: shorter product lifecycles, rising consumer demands, the tripling of global shipping over the last few years and more. 40% of logistics players anticipate the need to provide delivery within a mere 2 hours by 2028. To better meet this and other targets, companies will need to pay closer attention than ever before to the myriad roles of technology in building a smoother, more efficient order-to-customer process. Learn more in this visit to Republic Polytechnic’s Center of Innovation for Supply Chain Management (COI-SCM), where you will get up close with some of the latest innovations in warehouse design, inventory planning, automation & engineering, transportation optimization and more.

 Site Tour C: Infinium Robotics
15:45 – 16:45 

Experts estimate that 90% of companies’ inventory is stationary in the warehouse, and many are costing themselves billions by carrying excess inventory due to uncertainty and inaccurate stocktaking. But the rise of autonomous logistics drones is promising to make this waste a thing of the past. Zipping around warehouses automatically and scanning aisle after aisle of goods with unerring accuracy, these smart machines can slice the tedious and error-prone process of stock-taking from 30 days to as little as 2 days or lesser. This can reduce the operational downtime and manpower/equipment costs for the warehouse operations, saving businesses millions of dollars. Safety standards will also be enhanced by allowing the drone to fly heights to count the inventory instead of placing personnel up at heights on a forklift for stocktaking. Join us on an exclusive, CEO-led tour of Singapore-based Infinium Robotics, developer of indoor drones for the commercial and logistics sectors, to see this technology in action and find out what potential it holds for the supply chain.

Optimizing Supply Chain With Real-Time Predictive Analytics

The power of blockchain technology is even more present in supply chains when combined with the latest IoT technologies to capture supply chain data at the point of origin. Every single product worldwide can be assigned a cryptographic unique identifier at the start of the chain, wherever it is sourced or created. This unique code is tied to a utility token that is time-stamped as it moves through the supply chain, with the entire life cycle of that item stored on the blockchain archive. Smartphone users can check the unique ID to reveal its history and its origins to ensure it was responsibly sourced or produced.

14:15 Supply Chain Control Towers

Realizing the Benefits of Supply Chain Control Towers with IoTs: How Control Towers Can Enhance Supply Chain’s Agility, Visibility and Collaboration

Many companies are still struggling to achieve end-to-end visibility in their supply chains. Supply Chain control towers can now enable  cross-organizational collaboration, across multiple tiers of customers, suppliers, and logistics service providers. This enables supply chain managers to not just address issues directly under their control, but to work with business partners to solve a much broader range of problems that occur in all parts of the supply chain. Real-time networks eliminate information delays; provide end-to-end visibility, and better optimization thanks to fresh, big-picture data that reflects the reality of the supply chain now. They also provide the full context for better decision making, including providing actual data on orders, inventory, shipments and capacity constraints across all nodes of the network.
