SATI Showcases Innovative Digital Twin Logistics Model at Fruit Attraction Madrid 2024
Key takeaways from the discussions included:
- Supply chain agility – the ability to respond rapidly to market changes, supply-demand fluctuations and logistics challenges.
- Cost savings – simulating different scenarios allows for optimised planning and reduced costs.
- Industry collaboration – importance of industry stakeholders working together to achieve common goals and objectives.
“The logistics landscape has changed dramatically in recent years, and we are proud to have taken a proactive approach towards evolving with it,” said Mecia Petersen, CEO of SATI. “This digital twin project with Transnova is a bold step forward in maintaining South Africa’s reputation for high-quality table grapes in the global market. We deeply appreciate the contributions of all stakeholders and are excited about the future opportunities this model can offer to the broader fresh produce industry.”
Looking ahead, SATI is eager to continue this collaborative process with industry stakeholders as we look at rolling out Phase 2 of the model which aims to have a more tactical approach by providing bi-weekly insights to improve decision-making across the value chain.
