Weekly pulse
Three signals stood out across different regions this week. In China, the government fast-tracked humanoid robots and embodied AI into industrial production — Alibaba simultaneously unveiled its Qwen robot series with three foundation models for logistics automation. In France, Carrefour completed its first live humanoid robot test in a warehouse environment. Across North America and Europe, MHI and Deloitte confirmed that 48% of supply chain leaders now rate AI's impact as significant or greater — up 25 points in a single year.
At the architecture level, Microsoft's Supply Chain 2.0 (multi-agent AI + digital twins) and SAP's agentic framework are now production-deployed across multiple industries and geographies. Autonomous trucking reached a new milestone: PepsiCo and Gatik launched commercial driverless operations across a live network in North America — a signal that physical AI is moving from pilot to operational baseline.
5 signals this week
- Jul 8NexcadeInvestment
UK-based freight-forwarding AI vendor Nexcade raised $6 million to automate shipment coordination, arriving as the cost of building AI tooling is expected to keep rising over the next few years — investors are still backing infrastructure-layer AI in freight forwarding despite tighter capital conditions.

$6M$6M - Jul 9Alstef GroupDeployment
French manufacturer Armor-Iimak commissioned three of Alstef Group's tri-directional automated GT16 forklifts at its Loire-Atlantique plant, extending an existing customer relationship — incremental AGV fleet expansion at an already-automated site, not a first-time pilot.

Air India partnered with digital air-cargo platform cargo.one to make its cargo capacity bookable online in real time — another full-service carrier moving air-freight capacity onto digital marketplaces instead of manual allocation, a shift freight forwarders should expect to keep spreading across carriers.

Now liveNow live - Jul 6Borderless CoverageRegulation
The 9th Annual Modernization of Cross-Border Trade summit in Texas surfaced the Montgomery ruling and rising cargo-fraud exposure as live legal and operational risks for U.S.-Mexico freight movement — cross-border AI/visibility tooling is being built against a shifting regulatory backdrop, not a settled one.

Cross-border riskCross-border risk - Jul 8MicroliseResearch
Microlise's 2026 UK transport and logistics report found 90% of transport managers believe technology has made drivers feel safer, with in-cab camera systems improving driver performance by up to 50% and helping prevent serious accidents in 83% of cases — concrete accident-prevention data fleet operators can cite when building the case for AI-enabled in-cab retrofits.

The Take — Fabien
This week, the signals converge: 44% of companies are already deploying AI in supply chain (BCG), yet only 5% have managed to move from pilot to scale (GEP-UVA Darden).
Renault took four years to turn its AI tools into 20 million euros in measurable savings. CMA CGM has invested 500 million euros, with results still difficult to quantify precisely.
The pattern repeats everywhere: adoption moves fast, value takes time.
In 17 years transforming logistics, I've never seen a tool create value before the process around it was ready to receive it.
