C. H. Robinson launches Agentic Supply Chain bringing autonomous intelligence to global logistics
C
. H. Robinson has unveiled the Agentic Supply Chain – an AIpowered logistics ecosystem designed to think, learn, and act on its own.
Early adopters are reporting measurable gains – shipment planning reduced from hours to seconds, smarter cost optimization and predictive rerouting that prevents delays before they happen.
The Minnesota based company says the move marks a new era in supply chain intelligence.
Positioned as the next leap beyond automation, the Agentic Supply Chain uses real-time decision-making, contextual awareness and continuous self-optimization to manage complex logistics networks at global scale.
“ Companies are under increasing pressure to employ AI or risk being left behind,” said Arun Rajan, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, C. H. Robinson.
C. H. Robinson’ s approach, dubbed Lean AI, fuses machine learning with human expertise and the company’ s massive dataset – more than 37 million shipments per year – to train and deploy increasingly autonomous AI agents.
“ With agentic AI, we’ re unlocking value hidden in unstructured data like phone calls and emails,” said Mike Neill, Chief Technology Officer, C. H. Robinson.
Dave Bozeman, CEO, C. H. Robinson, said:“ We’ re not chasing disruption – we’ re building it.”
“ There’ s no better place to start than your supply chain.”
The platform builds on C. H. Robinson’ s Always-On Logistics Planner, a digital workforce of more than 30 AI agents already performing millions of shipping tasks once thought too complex to automate. The new system extends those capabilities across planning, procurement, fulfillment and replenishment.
GE HealthCare partners with Queen’ s and Duke to advance AI hospital operations software
GE HealthCare has confirmed collaborations with The Queen’ s Health Systems in Honolulu, HI, and Duke Health in Durham, NC, to advance its forthcoming AIdriven hospital operations software.
The new cloud-based solution, part of GE HealthCare’ s CareIntellect platform, will use artificial intelligence and predictive analytics to help hospital leaders optimize patient flow, staffing and resources.
The Queen’ s Health Systems and Duke Health will provide clinical and operational expertise to inform the software’ s development. The solution aims to deliver real-time, data-driven recommendations that improve care quality and efficiency.
“ At Queen’ s, we’ ve seen how GE HealthCare’ s technology helps improve access to care,” said Ashley Shearer, Vice President of Care Coordination, The Queen’ s Medical Center.“ With Command Center software, we increased patient transfers by more than 22 % and reduced length of stay by over a day.”
Duke Health’ s Kristie Barazsu, said:“ AI and analytics empower our teams to act quickly, address emerging issues and enhance care delivery.”
The new application builds on GE HealthCare’ s Command Center technology, currently used in nearly 500 hospitals worldwide. CareIntellect’ s cloud-first infrastructure allows systems to securely deploy new applications with features such as single sign-on and seamless integration with electronic medical records.
“ This collaboration accelerates innovation rooted in customer needs,” said Bree Bush, General Manager of Command Center.“ By combining AI with frontline expertise, we’ re helping hospitals operate more efficiently and deliver better care.”
