Notes on research, teaching, and technology.
A supply chain metaverse creates a synchronized, 3D digital twin of physical supply networks, merging real-time IoT data with virtual simulation to enhance visibility, collaboration, and resilience. It allows companies to simulate logistics scenarios, optimize warehouse layouts, and train staff in VR, reducing costs and mitigating risks.
The co-founders of SavantX, Ed Heinbuckle, and David Ospi, present their company's work on quantum computing in solving supply chain issues. They discuss their software-driven, science-oriented approach, focusing on Quantum's incremental benefits. They provide a case study involving the Port of LA, where Quantum optimization is applied to improve port operations, truck scheduling, and efficiency. They explain the successful integration of Quantum into logistics and transportation, including projects with the Air Force..

AI deployed in logistics today sits on top of fragmented, inconsistent data. It produces outputs that are fast but wrong, or accurate but incomplete. The problem was never the model. It was always the data underneath it. Loop's logistics AI was built differently. We solved the data problem first.
