AI and alternative adhesives drive new supply chain resilience

Artificial intelligence is reshaping supply‑chain and logistics operations by enabling autonomous decision‑making, real‑time data analysis, and predictive analytics. AI‑driven platforms improve demand forecasting, optimise inventory levels, provide end‑to‑end visibility, cut operational costs and accelerate decision‑making across the supply chain.

The adhesive industry, facing raw‑material shortages and geopolitical volatility, is turning to resilient alternatives such as natural protein glues and lab‑validated cross‑grade formulations. Manufacturers are also extending existing inventories through precise application audits, climate‑controlled storage and FIFO management, supported by technical testing in LD Davis laboratories.
