AI Agents for Supply Chain & Manufacturing
Alice Labs builds AI agents that optimize physical operations — from demand forecasting to factory floor quality control to last-mile delivery. Production-ready, measurable ROI in 30-90 days.
Why Traditional Approaches Fail in 2026
Supply chains face unprecedented complexity that spreadsheets and legacy systems cannot handle.
Demand Volatility
Post-pandemic demand patterns are permanently disrupted. Traditional forecasting methods based on historical averages miss 30-40% of demand shifts.
Asset Downtime
Unplanned equipment downtime costs manufacturers $50B annually. Reactive maintenance is 3-5x more expensive than predictive approaches.
Supplier Fragility
Global supply chains have 3-5x more disruption events than pre-2020. Single-source dependencies and opaque tier-2/3 visibility create hidden risk.
The Agentic Shift
2026 demands AI that acts: reorders inventory, reroutes shipments, adjusts production schedules, and negotiates contracts — autonomously, with human oversight.
Explore by Sector
AI in Supply Chain & Logistics
Demand forecasting, fleet management, inventory optimization, and last-mile delivery agents that cut logistics costs by 15-30% while improving service levels.
AI in Manufacturing
Predictive maintenance, computer vision for quality control, production scheduling optimization, and Industry 4.0 agents that reduce downtime by 30-50%.
AI in Procurement
Autonomous sourcing, vendor negotiation agents, spend analytics, and contract intelligence that reduce procurement costs by 10-25% while improving supplier quality.
Before vs. After Alice Labs
| Process | Before AI | After Alice Labs |
|---|---|---|
| Demand Forecasting | ±30-40% accuracy, monthly updates | ±5-10% accuracy, real-time |
| Equipment Maintenance | Reactive, 8-12% downtime | Predictive, 2-4% downtime |
| Quality Inspection | Manual sampling, 2-5% defect escape | 100% AI inspection, <0.5% escape |
| Procurement Cycle | 2-4 weeks per sourcing event | AI-assisted, 2-5 days |
| Delivery Routing | Static routes, 15-20% idle time | Dynamic AI routing, <5% idle |
