“Supply chain AI means creating value and efficiency. That translates to competitive advantage.”
AI accelerates decisions, but trust and guardrails determine what it can automate. With so much at stake for the automotive industry, what is the future of agentic AI in supply chains?
Automotive supply chains are a major battleground for competitiveness — and the old efficiency-first playbook can’t keep up. Agentic AI, multi-tier orchestration, and real-time data are rewriting how global automotive supply chains are designed, managed, and defended.
In this insightful episode, Tobias Obladen, Program Director Automotive at Capgemini Invent, dives into how AI is transforming the automaking industry. He explains why traditional tools fall short, how AI agents unlock true end-to-end visibility, and what companies must do now to stay resilient in the next era of automotive supply chains.
