role in optimization. AI-powered logistics platforms can analyze vast datasets to optimize routes, predict shipping delays, and manage inventory levels dynamically. This lev- el of efficiency reduces shipping times and contributes to sustainability by minimizing fuel consumption and reduc- ing carbon emissions. In addition, AI technologies facilitate better supply chain visibility and coordination, allowing companies to respond quickly to supply chain disruptions or changes in demand. By integrating AI with blockchain technology, for instance, companies can achieve a new level of transpar- ency and security in tracking products throughout the sup- ply chain, enhancing trust and reliability among suppliers, manufacturers, and customers.
