Data digitization; 2. Business intelligence; 3. Predictive analytics; 4. Automated delivery planning; and Adaptive management. \u0026nbsp;Finally, we will examine the advances in technology that enable transformation of last-mile delivery.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.scl.gatech.edu\/sclirc\/seminars\/register\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERegister Online for upcoming SCL IRC seminars\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EAttendance to the sessions is complimentary for SCL corporate partners, SCL Industry Advisory Board members, SCL affiliated faculty and students, and students enrolled in the Masters in Supply Chain Engineering program.\u003C\/em\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ETo take advantage of the included lunch, you must register by deadline noted on the registration page.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIf you have any questions, please email event@scl.gatech.edu.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Supply Chain and Logistics Institute hosts a series of monthly seminars open to interested SCL faculty, students and corporate partners as well as the general public.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Join us for our monthly SCL IRC seminar to learn about affiiliated faculty research"}],"uid":"34757","created_gmt":"2019-07-23 16:27:07","changed_gmt":"2019-09-21 00:43:47","author":"Kori Thompson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-11-13T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2019-11-13T13:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-11-13T13:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-11-13 17:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-11-13 18:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-11-13 18:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"623642":{"id":"623642","type":"image","title":"Digital Transformation of Last-Mile Delivery","body":null,"created":"1563901109","gmt_created":"2019-07-23 16:58:29","changed":"1563901130","gmt_changed":"2019-07-23 16:58:50","alt":"","file":{"fid":"237532","name":"digital transformation of last mile delivery.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/digital%20transformation%20of%20last%20mile%20delivery.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/digital%20transformation%20of%20last%20mile%20delivery.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":161057,"path_740":"http:\/\/www.tlwarc.hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/digital%20transformation%20of%20last%20mile%20delivery.jpg?itok=022lbMQU"}}},"media_ids":["623642"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.scl.gatech.edu\/sclirc\/seminars\/register","title":"Register Online for upcoming SCL IRC seminars"}],"groups":[{"id":"1243","name":"The Supply Chain and Logistics Institute (SCL)"},{"id":"1242","name":"School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISYE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe cost to attend is $25 per session which includes a boxed lunch*.
