Leveraging AI to Improve Supply Chain Operations
Article from MHI Solutions Magazine
Just how much can artificial intelligence (AI) improve material‑handling software such as warehouse execution systems? As an operations engineer for FORTNA, an Atlanta‑based supplier of supply chain software and solutions, Amber Clauss is determined to find out.
Clauss, 23, reports directly to the company’s chief technology officer and is leading its generative AI initiative. She joined FORTNA in July 2023 and spent a year in its Leadership and Development Rotation program, gaining exposure to data analytics, project management, recruitment and software development. She moved into her current role last June.
“We’re building out our internal approach to generative AI to increase productivity,” Clauss said. “The end goal is to enhance our software and try to make AI a differentiator for our company and our industry. I really like that I get to learn about this cutting‑edge aspect of our industry. I get to learn about people, technology and processes, so I show up to work every day excited to learn.”
