Unilever Uses AI, Digital Twins and Customer Data to Boost Supply Chain Resilience
Unilever is linking AI, digital twins and customer data across its global supply chain to respond to faster demand cycles and disruption. An AI-enabled model with Walmart ties forecasts to consumer sales, and a Mexico pilot delivered over 98% on-shelf availability while cutting inventory. The company will deploy 40-plus digital twins, including improvements at Hefei and Raeford that reduce waste and raise capacity, alongside better farmer traceability for thousands of smallholders.
