KUALA LUMPUR, July 16 (Bernama) -- Jabil Inc, a global leader in engineering, supply chain and manufacturing solutions, has opened its next-generation logistics hub in Penang to strengthen supply chain resilience.

The new Intelligent Logistics Hub is set to boost Jabil's back-end operations and support customers' growing product complexity and capacity demands through artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled capabilities, including streamlining inventory management, enhancing traceability and tracking, and deploying autonomous robots.

“Supply chain volatility, rising logistics and operating costs, and the need for greater visibility into inventory are a few challenges faced in today’s advanced manufacturing and electronics supply chains.
