Surgere has unveiled a new agentic AI assistant—Sophia— that is an intelligent supply chain companion fully integrated into Surgere’s Interius platform.
Company officials tout Sophia as making supply chain professionals’ lives easier by delivering real-time analysis and action based on their unique supply chain data. Nykaj Nair, chief revenue officer, Surgere, said that have integrated AI into their platform to help process the mass volume of data that supply chains generate.
“Humans simply cannot understand, process and act on data instantaneously—but AI can,” stated Nair in press statement announcing the launch of Sophia. “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.”
Sophia & Supply Chain
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 with four validated use cases that are common to worldwide manufacturers, including:
- Automated Lane Assignments enabling accurate and efficient truck loading based on customer orders that saves time, reduces conflicting data and human error with;
- Surplus Asset Location in order to maintain manufacturing, shipping, and operational processes running by identifying and reallocating inventory to where it is most needed;
- Automated Stop Shipments that optimizes supply channels based on customer supply requirements, thus eliminating unnecessary shipments and associated labor; and
- Takt Time Monitoring to balance production supply and demand, allocating labor and resources to the best possible task.
Clean Data
Surgere is focused is building AI-powered, frictionless supply chains with IoT-based solutions for their SaaS platform, Interius. Sophia joins Surgere’s platform of solutions for every manufacturing environment, including supplier networks, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, distribution centers and retail spaces.
The new products is fully integrated into Surgere’s foundation of 99.9 percent data fidelity, structured specifically for AI processing. According to Nair, accurate data is the only way to enable AI within complex manufacturing and supply chain environments to create and identify meaningful insights. Without it, insights produced will be inaccurate, leading to suboptimal human decisions and poor business outcomes.
“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,” said Nair. “As we learn more about each unique supply chain’s data, we can build more agentic AI solutions and use cases alongside our clients.”
