DigiKey, a leading global commerce distributor offering the largest selection of technical components and automation products in stock for immediate shipment, announced the release of Season 3 of the Supply Chain Transformed video series, sponsored by Omron Automation and onsemi. The new season will focus on innovative technologies, including IoT, that are fueling the future of the logistics industry.
DigiKey launches Season 3 of its Supply Chain Transformed video series, which features innovative new technologies accelerating supply chain progress.
The world of logistics is undergoing a widespread digital transformation. To streamline operations and scale efficiency, technologies like augmented reality, drone delivery systems and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the Internet of Things (IoT) are reinventing traditional logistics. The third season of Supply Chain Transformed explores how the next wave of tech-enabled use cases is moving the logistics industry forward.
“The evolution of the supply chain will come from combining new and existing technologies for better overall efficiency,” said Josh Mickolio, technology business development manager for DigiKey. “DigiKey works closely with suppliers like onsemi and Omron to ensure the widespread availability of products that drive innovation and accelerate progress not only in the supply chain but across industries.”
“Traceability can increase efficiency, reduce costs and provide better control over product while protecting the company’s business and brand,” said Ben Hawks, product manager, traceability for Omron. “The evolution of supply chain technology allows Omron to verify that every part has a quality mark so that it can be read at any location and throughout the product’s life cycle, decreasing costs and generating supply chain efficiencies.”
“At onsemi, our vertically integrated manufacturing supply chain for silicon carbide (SiC) and our hybrid manufacturing for image sensors both emphasize superior quality, resilience and flexibility,” said Julia Zibrida, vice president, distribution sales for onsemi. “By controlling every step from crystal growth to product packaging in SiC or blending in-house capabilities with strategic collaborations for intelligent sensing technologies, we ensure innovative, scalable and cost-effective solutions while reducing supply risks. Consistently meeting the high standards of the automotive, industrial and other markets fuels our channel partners’ growth.”
The first of three videos in the series, “Optimizing Supply Chain Logistics,” dives into the evolving landscape of supply chain and logistics technology. The episode highlights the technologies used to manage warehouse inventory more efficiently and how leaders are modernizing and future-proofing their supply chain logistics.
The second video, “Traceability on a Global Scale,” investigates the importance of traceability throughout the design and manufacturing process. From concept to implementation, the episode explores how real-time data and process visibility reduces costs, creates efficiencies and averts breakdowns in the supply chain.
The third and final video, “Crossing the Digital Frontier,” looks to the future to find out how cutting-edge technologies will optimize everything from inventory management to predictive maintenance, demand forecasting and more.
