Wayne Usie, Blue Yonder
In this episode of AI and the Autonomous Supply Chain, theCUBE Research’s Dave Vellante and George Gilbert sit down with Wayne Usie, CSO of Blue Yonder, to talk about how AI is reshaping the foundations of global supply chains. Usie shares how today’s volatile world demands cognitive systems that are responsive, predictive and adaptive. Usie walks through the limits of legacy systems and highlights how Blue Yonder’s AI-driven applications are designed for continuous planning and real-time decision-making. They also talk about the concept of “agentic orchestration,” where AI doesn’t just analyze — it acts. The trio explores how these tools reimagine operational agility. The discussion also tackles the strategic implications of having a single AI-powered data foundation. Usie stresses how this approach not only synchronizes supply and demand but also elevates sustainability efforts and shifts the roles within enterprises. As AI advances, so too must the mindset of organizations managing global logistics.
