08/07/18 A Smarter Supply Chain

Peggy and Joshua Peschel, assistant professor, agriculture and biosystems engineering, Iowa State University, says if you look at the tracking different assets and understanding their supply chain, having access to detailed information is not something companies were able to have prior to now. He gives an example of taxi tracking in large cities. If you could know where taxis were located, you could know about illness spreading, because you know how many times taxis or Ubers went to hospitals. He says there is going to be a big squeeze on the supply chain, no matter what part of it you are in.
