Flipkart supply chain innovation to be driven by IoT sensors, robotics, automation

The success of Flipkart, India’s largest ecommerce company, owned by Walmart, has largely to do with its technology-driven supply chain backbone. And now, it is looking at areas such as sensors based on internet of things (IoT), automation, and robotics to drive newer innovation.
The ecommerce giant handles millions of shipments everyday while dealing with many unpredictable factors but its supply chain infrastructure has evolved over the years to create a seamless online shopping experience.
Utkarsh B, Chief Technology Advisor to the CEO of Flipkart, feels that its supply chain platform will continue to optimise further as IoT sensors will play a key role with hardware and software blending together.
