WASHINGTON, Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Holman
Logistics (holmanusa.com) was one of only six finalists for the
Council of Supply Chain Management (CSCMP) Supply Chain Innovation
Award™, presented at the 2021 EDGE conference in Atlanta.
The Supply Chain Innovation Award™ (SCIA) recognizes
organizations that demonstrate innovation excellence and return on
investment for a significant supply chain challenge. For 2021, the
CSCMP received over 50 case study submissions from which the SCIA
Evaluation Committee narrowed the list to six finalists. Finalists
were judged virtually prior to the EDGE conference, and
representatives from Holman and technology partner OneTrack AI also
presented the study live at the conference.
With safety as a foundational Core Value, Holman maintains a
goal of zero accidents in its warehouses. Intrigued by benefits AI
was producing in the industry, executives initiated a partnership
with OneTrack in 2019 because of their expertise in computer vision
and deep learning, also known as Artificial Intelligence (AI). The
resulting study, "From Science Fiction to Practical Implementation:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Boosts Safety in the Warehouse,"
discusses how adoption of AI technology helped reduce warehouse
safety incidents in nearly every category in fewer than three
months, while allowing improved coaching of forklift drivers.
"Our Core Values set the foundation for the work we do, and we
have no more important Core Value than safety. We constantly seek
technology, training, and other innovative resources to help us
maintain our superior safety performance," commented Brien Downie, president of Holman Logistics.
Holman and OneTrack initially began working together at Holman
multi-client warehouses. Utilizing the new technology, Holman
quickly achieved improvements in forklift safety and productivity
that outperformed the existing, non-AI-based, legacy telemetry
system, and as a result, the company began using the new AI system
at customer locations.
Downie concluded, "I am confident that these innovative AI
tools, along with our never-ending Safety Focus, are helping us
move steadily closer to our goal of completely accident-free
operations."
