Automechanika Birmingham 9 June 2016

Alan Braithwaite is presenting at the inaugural Automechanika Birmingham on 9 June, 2016.

Digital transformation and the UK’s supply chain infrastructure

Freight and logistics is neither binary nor digital. Delivering half a consignment is not much use to the customer and the acts of storing, picking packing, shipping and delivery are tangibly physical. Yet the digital transformation of the economy is revolutionising what is possible in the physical world. We are already doing things that were inconceivable ten years ago and there is much more to come.

Alan's presentation will describe how digital will influence the requirements for infrastructure as supply chains are re-designed; it will point to some of the policy challenges that need to be faced.
