Surgere launched its new agentic AI assistant, Sophia, an intelligent supply chain companion fully integrated into Surgere’s Interius platform that delivers real-time analysis and action based on their unique supply chain data.
“We’ve integrated AI into our platform to help process the mass volume of data that supply chains generate,” says Tom Strain, VP, Technology at Surgere. “Humans simply cannot understand, process, and act on data instantaneously—but AI can. We’ve seen these four use cases in every manufacturing environment—from automotive to industrial to food and beverage, and Sophia monitors and responds to these and other critical data points that—if left unaccounted for—would cause significant friction for supply chain and logistics teams.”
Key takeaways:
- Surgere’s agentic AI approach can perform tasks independently, adapt to new information, and work with humans to solve problems. As part of Interius, Sophia allows human expertise and digital velocity to work side-by-side, enhancing speed-to-decision based on volumes of data-informed insights.
- Deeply integrated into Interius, Sophia instantly offers customers four validated use cases that are common to worldwide manufacturers, including automated lane assignments (which enables accurate and efficient truck loading based on customer orders); surplus asset location (identifies and reallocates raw materials, finished goods, and other inventory to where it is most needed throughout the network of locations); automated stop shipments (which optimizes supply channels with automated adjustments based on customer supply requirements); and task time monitoring (which balances production supply and demand, allocating labor and resources to the best possible task).
“We’ve enabled Sophia to learn a customers’ unique supply chain data and become more powerful over time, but these four use cases allow our customers to deploy AI elements from Day 1. As we learn more about each unique supply chain’s data, we can build more agentic AI solutions and use cases alongside our clients,” Strain adds.
