1、Agentic supply chains:Dawn of a new transformative eraWill agentic AI finally deliver the promise of an autonomous supply chain?For many years,it has been asserted that autonomous,self-healing supply chains have the potential to assist companies in enhancing speed,efficiency,and cost-effectiveness.H

2、owever,to date,even the most advanced digital-native supply chains have not achieved autonomy.Instead,advances in technology and traditional AI have primarily been used to automate processes and functions in operations,and supply chains continue to depend on rule-based automation of operations.Howev

3、er,this could soon change.Recent innovations in agentic AI i.e.use of AI agents leveraging large language models(LLMs)and large reasoning models(LRMs)have been unlocking potential use cases that can enable the path to autonomy.Agentic AI has the potential to transform every aspect of the supply chai

5、sWhat is agentic AI?Agentic AI refers to a class of AI systems that can operate autonomously and make decisions without constant human oversight.Agentic AI systems build on generative AI systems and traditional AI systems.Agentic AI systems are designed to act autonomously with minimal human interve
