It starts with the right people and standardised processes

A reliable semiconductor supply chain begins with established processes across a network of experts specifically trained in semiconductor logistics solutions. Every expert involved understands the language and the critical aspects of the semiconductor supply chain.

The network is closely connected and always in sync thanks to shipment transparency.

Shipment transparency comes from visibility

A global semiconductor supply chain standard can only be achieved and maintained when everyone is working with the same data.

When all stakeholders have the same visibility, the entire shipment process can be tracked from planning to delivery. Stakeholders can learn from past activities and anticipate the next steps. This can be anything from digital photographs for proof of handover to airside monitoring of aircraft.

Kuehne+Nagel’s digital checklist app

This data is captured with pinpointed GPS locations. It’s then directly integrated into our online shipment route map plan. Combined with proactive monitoring, this technology allows us to supervise shipments from end to end and manage any risks along the way.

Leveraging digitalisation for efficiency and agility

Achieving transparency relies on digital solutions that continuously provide real-time data so stakeholders can make informed decisions.

At Kuehne+Nagel, we use cloud-based services to plan shipments ahead of time. This ensures that we select the most suitable transport solutions, including specific routes for shipments with unique requirements.

Example

For shipments needing upper deck loading or carrying dangerous goods, we can offer cargo aircraft-only options. We can also increase your options by considering more airports within a defined radius of the delivery point.

Once we've identified the best solutions, our system creates a route map aligned with the requested service. This map displays all the important milestones along the shipment's journey. The map is continuously updated with our carrier's digital status data.

We also leverage our KN App digital checklist, which includes photos from each handover point. This provides clear evidence that shipments have been handled correctly at every stage of their journey.

This gives stakeholders real-time information to make data-driven decisions and achieve efficiency and agility in their supply chain while maintaining global standards.
