<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAccording to Thomas Boykin with Deloitte Consulting LLP, \u201cData is the life\u2019s blood of the emerging digital supply chain.\u201d As noted in the report, \u201cA truckload of random data is essentially worthless. However, properly harnessed, supply chain data can be just as real and valuable as any company asset.\u201d Plug Power products use predictive analytics with data collected through our SiteView tool, for several customer facility-enhancing outcomes. Our services team determines when preventive maintenance is needed on the fuel cell-powered fleets – whether forklift or on-road delivery, so that they can be proactive, ensuring that the fleet maintains the highest availability, especially important in times when warehouses are seeing peak rates of movement in and out and response times are short. Our hydrogen fuel teams use the data gathered from our GenFuel hydrogen dispensers to assess and respond to fuel needs at individual facilities as well as across a customer\u2019s entire network, enabling the customer to better forecast their needs in a given season or year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nAccording to the Survey, the younger generation embarking on supply chain careers are more than three times more focused on corporate responsibility and sustainability than their older counterparts. When companies are competing in an evermore challenging market for quality talent, promoting their efforts in this area can only help attract and retain workers. Plug Power products are zero-emission, reliable, cost-effective clean energy solutions supporting corporate sustainability efforts while boosting productivity, ensuring businesses don\u2019t have to make sacrifices in order to operate efficiently and cleanly. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nMaterial handling organizations are the lynch-pin in an economy becoming more and more focused on productivity and sustainability. Meeting demands for lower costs and shorter response times has meant that providing products and tools that provide innovative solutions to these challenges is imperative for companies wishing to assist the logistics market. Plug Power, through our zero-emission fuel cell and hydrogen products, and our emphasis on data usage for predictive performance, continues to be focused on our customers\u2019 success. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The 2020 MHI Annual Industry Report, Embracing the Digital Mindset, was recently published and includes a number of enlightening perspectives about the challenges companies are facing and the innovation swelling up within the industry.
