Insights on Supply Chain Robotics, AI, IoT, and Smart Manufacturing Unveiled at CES 2018

Aligning technology, processes, and people with a holistic and intelligent approach across the supply chain is a rare find, particularly with one hand to shake. This is why I am so excited to show you how Panasonic is revolutionizing the integrated supply chain at CES 2018. Through automation advances and end-to-end connectivity, Panasonic has transformed the way things are made, shipped, ordered, and sold.

In the future, Panasonic’s manufacturing solutions will ensure full customization of a product, moving away from the practice of mass production. I can’t wait to show you how leveraging AI and robotics can improve the speed and efficiency of processes in manufacturing and the automation of picking, sorting, and logistics across the supply chain. Panasonic’s smart manufacturing complements 40+ partners and ERP systems with cloud-integration to automate operations and maximize efficiency!

At CES, I’ll explore mind-blowing advances in retail technology that revolutionize the customer experience by creating efficiency, personalization of buying experience, and end-to-end solutions for customer engagement. The “Connected Restaurant” and “Smart Service Kiosk” partnership with Ford, are great examples of how Panasonic transforms retail and food service through projection tech, POS software, back-office integration, and customer insights. Other next-generation innovation includes cloud-based tracking of consumer preferences and using robotics that take craftsmanship to the next-level!
