7 supply chain predictions for 2017
Technology trends will never evolve as you expect --
Unless your expectations are tempered by experience.
The new technology gained the most pressure before it matured, and Gartner called it part of the hype cycle phenomenon.
When people stop talking about new innovations
Cloud computing, mobile, big data and more
It\'s about the time they deploy in a meaningful way.
Given this fact, we can expect seven developments in 20171: 1.
The Internet of Things will start to disrupt supply chains.
Internet of Things (IoT)
This is already part of our daily life: on average, every new car will carry hundreds of sensors.
But most companies haven\'t deployed IoT devices extensively yet.
When manufacturers and logistics providers from all walks of life begin to take advantage of the internet of things, this will change in 2017.
There are currently 6 billion IoT devices in use and 21 billion in the next three years.
What drives prices up is the rapid fall in sensor prices and their integration with supply chain processes.
The result will be a huge explosion of big data.
If you are not ready, it will be a disaster, because too much data will cause more confusion than too little data.
But if you have the ability to identify, collect, coordinate, analyze and deliver this data in the right environment, you will gain new speed and insight. 2.
3D printing will begin to revolutionize R & D and manufacturing.
3D printing has attracted the attention of many people.
But 2017 will be the mainstream year.
In 2016, global sales of 3D printers doubled to six.
7 million will be shipped on 2020.
While only 7% of companies currently use additive manufacturing to produce final products, 31% of companies use additive manufacturing to make prototypes, and 42% will rely on 3D printing for mass manufacturing in the next few years
However, 3D printing will not only bring revolutionary changes to prototypes and production.
It will also change inventory and logistics.
First, the manufacturer
Especially spare parts manufacturers
Will \"store\" parts and assemblies on the software rather than on the shelf.
In other words, inventory will be digitized.
Second, logistics suppliers will use additive manufacturing to re-imagine their business.
Companies like UPS want the technology to become more relevant in the \"last mile\" of shipping and even offer 3D printing as a service. 3.
Robots and augmented reality will inject vitality into the manufacturing industry.
In the next 10 years, the use of robots will grow by 10% annually.
In some industries, robots will soon handle 40% of manufacturing.
Augmented reality technology provided through technologies such as smart glasses will also change training and on-site services.
This result will benefit manufacturers, speed up production and on-site services, reduce labor costs and reduce errors in factories, warehouses and on-site.
In some industries, the rise of robots may make
The labor market is less attractive and manufacturing is back in the United States.
This does not necessarily bring back jobs in traditional manufacturing.
However, the history of automation does not mean that robots print will eliminate jobs, but just change jobs.
Robots are expected to boost the recovery of manufacturing labor. 4.
Driverless cars will prove the concept.
Autonomous vehicles and drones are actually extensions of robotics. What is a self-
Driving, but it\'s been a long time.
The distance robot on the wheel?
Uber\'s self in October 2016
For the first time, driving a truck realized the automatic distribution of 50,000 cans of Budweiser beer.
Details still need to be addressed from regulations to insurance to fatal accidents.
But in 2017
Thinking companies will start to go beyond public relations gimmicks and use them Limited in reality --World Scene.
Assuming aviation regulations can be worked out, drones may actually mature before driverless cars.
Amazon, for example, is actively pursuing 30-
Companies from Google to Wal-Mart are also investigating drones.
It would be interesting to see how shippers like UPS and FedEx responded.
But in 2017, any potential player must take it seriously. 5.
Network security needs will promote the development of new technologies such as block chains.
Cyber security will continue to be a problem for all businesses, especially with the rise of the internet of things.
Distributed rejectionof-service (DDoS)
In late October 2016, popular sites such as Twitter and Reddit were not the first to take advantage of emerging IoT devices.
More and more companies will find the hard way IoT devices are hacked in a few minutes.
This will drive interest in new security technologies, particularly blockchain.
A blockchain is a decentralized database that maintains a growing list of records or blocks, each with a timestamp and a link to the previous block.
Blockchain is a core component of Bitcoin, an electronic ledger copied on thousands of servers and cannot be changed retroactively.
In 2017, the network security industry will begin to expand the blockchain into the internet of things. 6.
The new big data tool will drive predictive analytics.
Many industry watchers are tired of the hype about big data and are no longer using the term.
But with the advent of the Internet of Things, big data has just started.
This will drive key demand for predictive analysis in 2017.
The supply chain will deploy the \"digital operations center\" to provide real
Time information based on features and individual roles.
These centers combine structured data for business systems and the Internet of Things with unstructured data such as weather, transportation, and customer sentiment.
The goal is not only to measure what is service happening in the supply chain, but to predict it.
The key is that analysis and prediction must work --
Make it relevant and operable.
Look for players up and down the supply chain to invest in technologies that support these digital operations centers. 7.
Will only increase the focus on customer-centered and personalized products.
Main business-to-consumer (B2C)
Industry, including businessto-business (B2B)
In this case, manufacturers are paying more and more attention to customers.
The ultimate goal of customer-centric is to deliver personalized products.
This trend is far from over and, in fact, will continue to drive IT investment in 2017.
90% of companies believe that their customers value personalized products or that they value personalized products very much. But three-
Quarterly said it was difficult to understand clearly what customers were willing to pay.
Therefore, manufacturers must better analyze different data, perceive demand, actually predict market drivers, and respond quickly and accurately.
They will not finish the work next year.
But if they want to remain competitive in service
Unless your expectations are tempered by experience.
