Renault set to test out Google supply chain digital twin
Summary
According to Google, by orchestrating data from disparate sources, manufacturers are able to get a more complete view of suppliers, inventories and other information. Improving visibility to inventory levels across our network is a key initiative,” said Jean-François Salles, supply chain global vice-president at Renault Group. We aim to work with Google tools to manage both stock, improve forecasting, and eventually optimise our fulfilment.” According to Google, the majority of companies do not have complete visibility of their supply chains, resulting in retail stock outs, ageing manufacturing inventory, or weather-related disruptions. “Google Cloud’s approach to a digital twin of the supply chain spans internal, external and partner data networks without complex integrations,” he said. Automation Anywhere’s chief operating officer, Mike Micucci, said bots can be used to increase process visibility and connect disparate systems across the supply chain to find efficiencies, improve customer service and mitigate risk.
