Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) Powers Supply Chain Logistics

Private Wireless Networks Help Power Supply Chain 4.0

It’s no secret that today’s world is more connected than ever before, but that doesn’t just apply to how we communicate with our family, friends, and co-workers. Technological advancements have changed the way our supply chains operate, allowing us to digitize and automate nearly the entire process across industries. 

In the past, there were large holes in the supply chain process. For example, when items were out for shipment, they were difficult to locate until they reached their final destination. Or if there were issues with machinery during the production process, it could bring the entire supply chain to a standstill until the issue was identified and resolved. 

With industrial-grade private wireless networks powered by Nokia’s Digital Automation Cloud (DAC), organizations enjoy robust, reliable, and secure connectivity to power their infrastructure and operations. This means that items can be located nearly anywhere on the globe with pinpoint accuracy, while preventive maintenance can be taken before a problem occurs based on real-time usage and feedback data.

Increase Operations With Supply Chain 4.0

Nokia Digital Automation Cloud (DAC) allows manufacturers and their partners along the supply chain to take proactive steps to avoid slowing down the production process and then keep “eyes” on materials, products, and workers every step of the way. By integrating Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, organizations have the ability to implement automations, monitoring, and tracking that can help them improve every step of their operations.

This can help not only reduce costs by minimizing wasted resources and time but also improve efficiencies at various points of the supply chain, build in transparency with real-time data and end-to-end visibility, allow for more flexibility to adapt to changing demands and patterns, and create more customized experiences for the end customers.

Warehouse Automation

eCommerce has forever changed the way consumers shop and expect to receive goods. Nokia DAC allows your warehouse to implement automations that help you meet the demands created by a 24/7 global economy so that you can meet pricing, shipping, and quality expectations while maximizing uptime and reducing your overall costs.

Internet of Things (IoT)

Whether you’re focused on improving worker safety or ensuring that the products in your care are kept to the highest standards, the IoT plays a part. Today’s advanced sensors can monitor everything from temperature and lighting to machine status and building structure, allowing you to take preventive steps to ensure the integrity of your facility, the quality of your products, and the safety of your workers.

Asset Tracking and Monitoring

Knowing when a product will arrive at its final destination is a hallmark of providing top-notch service. With global asset tracking and condition monitoring you’ll be able to track the exact location of a product along its route – including precise indoor positioning – to provide the most accurate delivery estimates. This will also help to prevent products from “getting lost” en route since you’ll have real-time data on the exact location of an item

Digital Twin and Advanced Analytics

Advanced analytics will help your organization make operating decisions based on real-time data while also providing situational insight that allows you to be flexible when needed. Additionally, digital twin technology will allow you to optimize your operations and improve performance by anticipating outcomes and scenarios based on real-time and past data.
