On 15 May 2023, Maersk formally launched its new global Innovation Centre. The team will concentrate on the whole logistics chain, utilising emerging technology, moving ideas from inception to impact, and building new workforce tools to enhance operational processes.
Potential concepts will be tested as pilots and, if successful, will be launched as scalable solutions for clients.
The Maersk Innovation Centre takes a methodical approach to enhance the business and the customer experience.
End-to-end supply chain transparency and traceability, solutions and models to support supply chain resilience, predictive data and analytics to optimise distribution and supply chains, climate-neutral solutions/sustainability, accelerating middle mile transportation, expanded fulfilment offerings, and education and training are among the areas of focus.
According to Maersk, the centre has already achieved numerous successes, including the partnership with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Center for Transportation and Logistics to perform research at a doctoral and post-doctoral level on supply chain challenges.
