AI AND TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY

P. G. Goh, H. L. J. Teo, R. S. Lim, A. Syahirah

Abstract


Supply chain security encompasses different areas, such as damage, theft, fraud, and counterfeits. Cargo security has always been an important factor in international trade, especially with ongoing maritime and supply chain disruptions. In consumer products, companies and consumers also have to deal with fake products and fake vendors. We will look at case studies and examples of how AI can be used in cargo tracking and routing, as well as the use of AI to detect fraud and counterfeits. 

Keywords


Supply Chain, Security, Fraud, AI, Counterfeit Detection.
