A*STAR Develops AI-powered Logistics Agent with AWS to Transform Supply Chain Operations
Use case typeWorkflow automationUpdated Jun 13, 2026
A*STAR's Advanced Remanufacturing and Technology Centre (ARTC) collaborated with AWS Professional Services to develop a Logistics Agent powered by Amazon Bedrock to address supply chain complexity and scattered data. The AI agent integrates data from multiple systems including ERP, WMS, and TMS, enabling natural language processing to provide real-time logistics information, automate tasks and improve decision-making. The solution reduces manual lookup workloads by up to 50%, decreases expedite costs by 3%-5% of logistics spend, and improves planner productivity and customer satisfaction through predictive insights and rapid updates.
