Maersk to work with MIT on warehousing and distribution

Maersk North America’s warehousing and distribution (WnD) business has signed an agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Transportation & Logistics (MIT CTL) to accelerate the company’s supply chain solutions and expand its capabilities through research across North America.

Senior researchers from MIT CTL will team up with Performance Team – A Maersk Company’s leadership teams to co-create solutions through design thinking, industry expertise, machine learning, AI, predictive analytics, new algorithms, and computational prototypes, amongst other activities.

It is hoped that the deeper integration will improve flexibility and customer-centricity to ultimately deliver value to customers.
