A tale as old as industrialization itself. The former driven by producers, the latter by consumers. Every business is subject to the supply and demand paradigm, but manufacturing organizations in particular, since they determine the supply side of the equation.

Geek+ is one of the world’s fastest growing logistics automation companies. Its technology offering, which is based around a core product range of four smart robotic systems – picking, moving, forklift and sorting robots; all underpinned by a highly intelligent AI-enabled software platform – offers a scalable alternative to traditional fixed automation machinery for eCommerce, industrial and manufacturing customers to invest in. Perhaps one of the most notable features of the Geek+ solution is its extreme scalability – both within a single fulfilment center or across a network of facilities – which can move in lockstep with business needs to meet rapid customer growth, or to meet sudden peaks and troughs caused by seasonal trends or unexpected crises.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can enable a new era in the digital transformation journey, offering tremendous potential to transform industries for greater efficiency, sustainability and workforce engagement. Even though the impact of AI applications in manufacturing and value chains is known, the full opportunity from their deployment is still to be uncovered due to a number of organizational and technical roadblocks. Recognizing this need, the World Economic Forum’s Platform for Shaping the Future of Advanced Manufacturing and Value Chains and Platform for Shaping the Future of Technology Governance: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, together with the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Türkiye, convened industry, technology and academic experts to shed light on these challenges and propose a step-by-step approach to overcome them.
