AIoT-based Sustainable Smart Supply Chain Framework

Abstract

Purpose: Supply chains in today's global environment operate in a market that is increasingly complex and dynamic in nature. In such an environment, a stable supply chain to respond to drastic changes in customer needs becomes inevitable. Based on these studies, it is obvious that organizations operating in the field of supply chain should accelerate their focus on sustainability and use technologies such as "Internet of Things" (IoT) and artificial intelligence to achieve the organization's goal of creating sustainable processes. Methodology: The presence of the Internet of Things, along with artificial intelligence technology, has created Artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) technology, which gives the big data from the Internet of Things great power. In this research, an attempt has been made to study and analyze the key dimensions, components and indicators of the AIoT-based sustainable supply chain. Also, a conceptual framework for Padidar intelligent supply chain based on these evolving technologies is presented, which can help to understand the elements of this intelligent supply chain in order to optimize. Findings: A study of the literature shows that investing in this technology to achieve sustainable benefits is inevitable. In addition, the use of this technology due to networking and the presence of the Internet requires appropriate security solutions for information technology, a workforce with the required set of skills, sharing information in an integrated environment with business partners. Originality/Value: The generalities of AIoT-based sustainable supply chain components in general, and things can be added to different industries and behaviors. Understanding the dimensions of this framework can always help to implement it effectively.

Opportunities and Challenges of Applying Artificial Intelligence in the Financial Sectors and Startups during the Coronavirus Outbreak

“…Today, artificial intelligence has many different applications in businesses and it has created more opportunities for them to succeed. Some of its applications are illustrated in Table (7). For example, busy managers can give all their work plans to the system and the system or program in question provides that information and data in a daily calendar and in accordance with the schedule and management.…”

“…Operations (60%) and logistics (50%) are also strong candidates to take advantage of AI. Naturally, the background of the respondents can drive their responses but we can already see that finance professionals believe in AI's capabilities in their domain [6,7]. In this paper, financial fields cover areas such as accounting, auditing, capital market, banking, insurance in addition to startups.…”

Assessing Key performance indicators in Blockchain-Based Supply Chain Financing: Case Study of Chain Stores

“…The four layers of the financing chain between the buyer and the supplier are shown in Figure ( Given that supply chain financing management usually includes the main supply chain companies, logistics and logistics companies, small and medium-sized companies supporting banks and other financial institutions, the challenges related to the flow of data related to materials, financial transactions and other relevant and desirable information of the parties are one of the main challenges in the efficiency of supply chain financing models. Many factors play a role in the success of a supply chain financing business plan, the absence of which can increase the challenges faced by organizations (Ghahremani-Nahr et al, 2022).…”

Optimizing green supply chain circular economy in smart cities with integrated machine learning technology

“…Machine learning technology enables computer systems to learn and recognize patterns from extensive data, facilitating intelligent decision-making through algorithm and model training [ 18 ]. In the context of smart cities, machine learning can analyze and utilize data across various city domains, providing efficient solutions for supply chain management [ [19] , [20] , [21] ]. For instance, employing machine learning algorithms to predict demand can optimize inventory management, logistics planning, and resource utilization, thus reducing resource waste [ 22 ].…”
