DALLAS, May 3, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Vimal Vasudevan,
Head of Digital Parcel Logistics North America within Körber's
Business Area Supply Chain, has been named "AI Transformer" on
Dallas Innovates' inaugural AI 75 list of trailblazers, which, in
partnership with the Dallas Regional Chamber and Dallas AI, honors
Dallas-based innovators across the
AI ecosystem.
Vasudevan began his AI journey in India two decades ago, developing software
products based on natural language processing under the guidance of
PhD scholars from the Indian Institute of
Technology (IIT) Madras. Now at Körber, he is spearheading
strategic initiatives in North
America, building a scalable SaaS product portfolio
leveraging AI, IIoT, and Körber's existing strong parcel product
portfolio. These SaaS products empower technicians, reducing
manual tasks and enabling swift parcel handling with minimal
disruption.
"The employees who service and operate these machines—
'deskless' workers who are out in the field—will spend hours in
harsh industrial environments, trying to figure out what's causing
a machine breakdown. Getting to the bottom of the issue is often a
long, arduous, and cumbersome process for these people. Our mission
is to make their lives easier with digital technology. The added
benefit is that it also drastically reduces operational downtime,
resulting in significant cost savings for our clients," said
Vasudevan.
The list recognizes the most innovative people in artificial
intelligence in Dallas-Fort Worth.
Awardees were honored on May 2 at the
Convergence AI Dallas conference in Irving, Texas, which brought together business
leaders to hear about the latest trends and innovations in
artificial intelligence during a full-day conference.
"At Körber, we believe in market leadership through technology
leadership, and efforts led by Vimal in our digital product
portfolio are a perfect example of that," said Ananta Islam, CEO and Region President for
Körber's Business Area Supply Chain, Parcel Logistics Division,
Americas. "This technology dignifies and empowers frontline workers
to do their jobs more efficiently and effectively, and Körber is
very proud of Vimal's tremendous contribution to keeping us at the
forefront of artificial intelligence in the supply chain industry,"
Islam continued.
