This book examines how cognitive technologies-ranging from machine learning and robotics to IoT, digital twins, and decision intelligence-are reshaping traditional logistics systems into intelligent, adaptive, and self-optimizing networks. It traces the evolution from conventional rule-based operations to AI-augmented ecosystems capable of sensing disruptions, learning from outcomes, and autonomously improving performance.
Structured into nine detailed chapters, the book covers every major dimension of cognitive logistics:
Foundations of cognitive logistics and the shift toward AI-driven supply chain orchestration
Intelligent demand sensing and predictive fulfilment models that enhance accuracy and responsiveness
Real-time visibility platforms that empower organizations to track, monitor, and optimize operations continuously
Self-learning transportation systems leveraging reinforcement learning and predictive analytics
AI-powered warehousing with smart storage, robotics, and automated flow control
Decision intelligence architectures enabling holistic, end-to-end flow optimization
Leadership strategies for managing change, uncertainty, and operational disruptions
Continuous improvement frameworks rooted in Kaizen and Lean methodologies
The future of human-AI collaboration and ethical considerations in cognitive logistics design
Throughout the book, readers will also find real-world examples, industry case studies, and practical insights illustrating how leading companies are deploying cognitive technologies to strengthen resilience, reduce waste, enhance service levels, and unlock new operational efficiencies.
To support implementation, the Appendix provides curated datasets, tools, frameworks, and further reading resources. By integrating strategic, technical, and human-centric perspectives, this book serves as a valuable guide for supply chain leaders, logistics professionals, researchers, policy-makers, and students seeking to understand and adopt AI-driven logistics innovations.
As global markets evolve, cognitive logistics networks will become the backbone of agile, predictive, and sustainable supply chains. This book offers a roadmap for embracing this transformation-empowering organizations to design intelligent supply flows that can thrive in an AI-augmented future.
