A digital supply chain is an advanced, technology-driven approach to supply chain management that uses Industry 4.0 technologies, such as IoT, AI, blockchain, and cloud computing, to optimize operations. It enhances supply chain visibility, reduces delays, and enables predictive decision-making.
Traditional supply chains rely on manual tracking and siloed data, whereas digital supply chains provide real-time insights into inventory, logistics, and supplier performance. Predictive analytics helps companies anticipate demand fluctuations and mitigate disruptions.
By integrating digital supply chains with IT and OT systems, manufacturers can create a more agile, transparent, and resilient supply chain network that is prepared for modern global challenges.
