Maersk Innovation Center Opens To Accelerate Supply Chain Innovation At An Enterprise Level
Maersk officially opened the company’s new global Innovation Center on May 15, 2023. The team will focus on the entire logistics chain, using emerging technologies, taking ideas from inception to impact, and developing new tools for the workforce that improve operational processes. Potential ideas will be tested as pilots and will be introduced as scalable solutions for customers if successful.
“Every company is navigating the macroeconomic environment, looking for new ways to ensure their supply chains are resilient. Our goal is to ensure we bring an intelligent pipeline of business solutions to make their supply chains more agile, more responsive to market fluctuations, and more competitive,” says Narin Phol, President of Maersk North America and Executive Vice President, of A.P. Moller-Maersk.
The Maersk Innovation Center uses a structured approach designed to improve the business and the customer experience. Focus areas include End-to-end supply chain transparency and traceability; solutions and models that support supply chain resilience; predictive data and analytics to optimize distribution and supply chains; climate-neutral solutions/sustainability; accelerating middle mile transportation; expanded fulfillment offerings; and education and training.
