Digital Supply Chain – Why and How the UK Food and Drink Industry Should Lead the Way
Join Digital Catapult and leaders from across the food system for an online event: Digital Supply Chain – Why and how the UK food and drink industry should lead the way on Thursday 16 September.
The stakes have never been so high for increasing the interoperability, resilience, and intelligence of supply chains. And, thanks to Covid-19, Brexit, and the importance of NetZero, never before have supply chain capabilities been so prominently in the spotlight of consumers, legislators, service providers, and investors.
We are faced with an unprecedented opportunity to build a world-class, digitalized, sustainable, and resilient food system capable of responding to external shocks. The UK is currently falling behind other countries in the digitalization of our food system, but we have the capability to lead the world if industry and the innovation community can work better together.
While technological innovation is driving data flow and sensor deployments much deeper into operations in recent years, the combined demands of quantifying reduced environmental impact, controlling supply risk and cost, and rooting out weaknesses have upped the ante. This has given rise to the need for holistic digitalization of supply chains to deliver more secure, efficient, resilient, and sustainable systems for the benefit of all actors in the system.
The degree of the challenge calls for a step-change in productivity, safety assurance, financial models, and shared trust across and beyond supply chains. The food and drink industry may be the most prominent area that springs to mind, but the need for holistic digitalization – and system resiliency – is one common to all supply chains.
