The key to the applicability of AI in the logistics sector is clean and secure data .

Logistics is an essential industry for all Colombians , as many foods , goods , devices among others , must be managed by this sector . In recent years , the country has experienced a profound transformation thanks to the incorporation of advanced technologies , marking a significant contrast with traditional logistical practices .

While logistical strategies used to rely on conventional methods and sometimes lacked the precision required to address current challenges , modern technological solutions have brought exceptional efficiency and competitiveness in terms of accuracy , speed or cost savings to a sector that moves approximately US $ 18.95 million annually .

Traditional logistics is based on manual approaches and rudimentary forecasts , while current practices leverage advanced planning tools like Deep Learning .

This allows companies to anticipate demand and optimize inventory levels accurately compared to traditional logistics , which often struggles with demand and inventory changes .

“ Artificial Intelligence facilitates logistics by taking care of complex processes , based on a large amount of data . When the handling of that data is clean and secure , it is called Healthy Data , an essential input for being able to deliver quality services in terms of Artificial Intelligence ,” said Jose Fuentealba , Sales Manager , InterSystems Latam .

“ This AI is capable of processing what a customer is doing and understanding how the supply chains are to comprehend if what is going to happen is what is expected to happen . AI takes care of a high level of complex data , analyzes it and draws useful conclusions for the logistics chain .”

The experts at InterSystems share the benefits of AI in the logistics sector :

• Optimization in the supply chain

• Prediction in population consumption habits

• Improvement in routes to reduce costs

• AI can be used for public service

• Shorter delivery times

Additionally , the optimization of transportation routes has experienced a revolution .

While the routes were rigid and less adaptable to changing traffic conditions and logistical restrictions , modern solutions stand out for their flexibility and efficiency in route assignment . The automation of routine tasks is a distinctive feature of current logistical practices , freeing workers from repetitive and exhausting tasks , unlike traditional logistics .

Automation promotes greater productivity and improves the quality of life of employees compared to the long working hours required by traditional practices .

Modern technological solutions are transforming the achievements of logistics in Colombia , standing out for their efficiency , precision , safety and automation , and contributing significant benefits to both companies and the country ’ s economy , representing an opportunity to continue improving an industry that directly influences the lives of Colombians . p
