A new series of videos focused on innovative technologies within the logistics sector has recently been launched on the DigiKey website, according to a report from Electronics Weekly Blog. This series aims to explore the significant advancements in logistics and supply chain technology, particularly influenced by the Internet of Things (IoT) and other emerging technologies.
The first installment of the series, titled “Optimizing Supply Chain Logistics,” is currently available for viewing. This episode delves into the evolving landscape of supply chain management, shedding light on new technologies that enhance warehouse inventory management and help future-proof the logistics processes.
The second video in the series, “Traceability on a Global Scale,” will soon be released and is set to explore the critical importance of traceability in design and manufacturing processes. The final video, “Crossing the Digital Frontier,” will project into the future, discussing how cutting-edge technologies can optimise logistics. Topics within this episode will cover areas such as inventory management, predictive maintenance, and demand forecasting.
The video series is sponsored by key industry players Omron Automation and onsemi. Josh Mickolio, the technology business development manager for DigiKey, commented on the initiative, stating, “The evolution of the supply chain will come from combining new and existing technologies for better overall efficiency.” He further highlighted the collaboration between DigiKey and suppliers like onsemi and Omron, emphasising their commitment to ensuring the availability of innovative products that facilitate progress across various industries, not just within the supply chain.
This current series follows the earlier two series released by DigiKey. The first series debuted in November 2021, featuring videos that explored the lifecycle of products from sourcing to production. The second series, which was released in February 2023, addressed how supply chains adapted to challenges and looked at ensuring supply chains could respond to unexpected demand surges.
The videos are accessible on the DigiKey website, providing insights into the dynamic changes and future possibilities within the logistics industry as influenced by emerging technology trends.
