Artificial intelligence in the transport of food liquids

The benefits of implementing artificial intelligence solutions are manifold. And not only that, the future prospects indicate that this is only the beginning, how far can we go?

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing a multitude of sectors, and the transportation of food liquids is not far behind. Improvements in traceability are more than evident thanks to this set of innovations: shorter delivery times, management optimization, route savings… The benefits of implementing artificial intelligence solutions are manifold. And not only that, future prospects indicate that this is only the beginning, how far can we go?

In this post we are going to analyse the main improvements of artificial intelligence in logistics, focusing on the transport of food liquids, and the main prospects for the future. Are you curious? Then read on because you will surely be surprised!

The change in consumer habits

The change in consumer habits has been the driver of digital transformation. Large corporations must turn their services into a personalized experience for each customer, attending to their demands and needs. And the key to achieving this personalization is artificial intelligence.

For the logistics industry, it is no longer enough to meet global demand; it must focus on immediate deliveries or minimum times. To do this, it must offer a flexible service that is tailored to the customer.

Artificial intelligence applications in transportation

Artificial intelligence is implemented in the transportation of food liquids in different modes:

• Integration of fixed and mobile devices to improve tracking of goods.
• Digitization of procedures, documents and signatures
• Accurate control of stock and inbound and outbound times
• Implementation of the digital tachograph, more accurate, easier to use and with real-time tracking.

Benefits of artificial intelligence in transportation

Beyond the improvements in traceability, the application of artificial intelligence in the transportation of food liquids, there are multiple benefits for the company, its customers and the environment:

Benefits for the company itself

Artificial intelligence applied to logistics allows:

• Optimize and create intelligent routes
• Improve the coordination of resources and trips in an efficient and cost-effective way.
• Reduce processing times by not relying on physical documents.
• Facilitate omnichannel management
• Automates production and warehousing processes
• Accelerates the entire process through to final delivery
• Generates a predictive analysis of the market, with room for manoeuvre to adapt by making the necessary changes.

Customer benefits

This set of benefits for the company also translates into a number of benefits for its customers:

• Real-time satellite tracking of goods
• Optimization of delivery times
• Efficient and error-free tracking, no changes in delivery dates and no errors in transported goods.

Indirectly, customers, partners and customers' own consumers also benefit by reducing their uncertainty and waiting times.

Benefits for the environment

The benefits of applying artificial intelligence to the transport of liquid foodstuffs also have an impact on the environment in general:

• Reduced use of paper, by digitizing all travel-related documentation.
• Reduced use of fossil fuels, by optimizing loads and routes
• Reduced electricity consumption by optimizing and simplifying processes.

Future prospects in artificial intelligence

The artificial intelligence environment is advancing so fast that it is impossible to foresee long-term developments. In the short and medium term, it is estimated that implementation will continue to advance, to the point of being a common basis in all companies in all sectors, and not in certain companies and sectors as it is now.

Measures focused on environmental care and improving sustainability will continue to gain weight within artificial intelligence. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is becoming increasingly important in the field of artificial intelligence.

Likewise, advances will make it possible to offer an increasingly personalized service that is adapted to the changing needs of customers. Artificial intelligence will allow brands to look increasingly human in this way.

After this review of the effect of artificial intelligence on the transport of food liquids, it is clear that this is not just a benefit for the company. Customers, partners and the environment in general all benefit from these improvements.
