Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Supply Chain Management and Logistics: Focusing Onto Recognition for Supply Chain Execution

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) show the potential to contribute significantly to the digitalization of supply chains. Nonetheless, the question which approaches from the field of AI are applied within supply chains as well as which supply chain problems or tasks are addressed with AI approaches has not been answered by scientific literature yet. Based on a structured literature review this paper aims at providing an answer to these questions. A special focus is given to the application areas for recognition approaches in supply chain execution, for which this paper provides an overview of those areas research is currently focusing upon.
