The global supply chain is undergoing a significant transformation, marked by tariffs, rising trade restrictions and evolving technologies. 

An emerging method for trade stakeholders to improve efficiency and respond to almost any disruption is through combining AI computer vision and digital twin technologies, Erez Agmoni, co-founder and general partner at Interwoven Ventures, said.

A digital twin is a virtual model that can replicate a supply chain. AI computer vision is a field of artificial intelligence that enables computers to “see” and interpret images and videos, mimicking human vision. 

“AI, digital twins, computer vision, I would say the intersection between those three is quite amazing,” Agmoni told FreightWaves in an interview. “Let me find new routes, new supply chain sources, new ideas. The more data you put into that, you’ll be able to create new scenarios on how to solve those types of things. So one day the scenario is a war, another day is tariffs, another day is Covid.”
