This week, Supply Chain Insights continues its look into how companies are using AI to their best advantage, even when they're not quite sure how it all works. Find out how manufacturers are using Generative AI within a factory setting, and learn why AI might be the best defense against AI-based cyberattacks.
In other news, while traditionally fall is known as peak shipping season, the baffling tariff situation caused companies to stock up on inventories well ahead of time this year, with the result that imports are now lagging where they normally might be.
And if you didn't attend FabTech this year, find out what you missed — all this and more in this week's newsletter.
