Jaguar Land Rover to Embed AI Into its Supply Chain Through new Collaboration

Jagiar Land Rover (JLR) has announced a new collaboration with Everstream Analytics which will embed AI into its supply chain management. With this new technology, JLR can monitor its supply chain in real-time in order to help avert any future global supply issues, protecting the production of its current models and next generation of pure-electric vehicles.

Everstream Analytics is a supply chain mapping and risk analytics group.

The technology analyses data using a combination of AI, predictive analytics, machine learning and human intuition to plot emerging incidents such as natural disasters, strikes, data breaches and export issues on a global map, alerting JLR to any potential impact on its supply chain.

JLR is introducing the Everstream technology as part of a wider strategy to build a digitally enabled supply ecosystem delivering end-to-end visibility and security.

Using Everstream’s insights, JLR has already taken positive action to avoid disruption at global freight ports to support delivery of vehicles to clients.

JLR has annoucned that, before the end of the decade, its Range Rover, Discovery, Defender collections will each have a pure electric model, while Jaguar will be entirely electric.  

Barbara Bergmeier, Executive Director, Industrial Operations at JLR, says: “Through our collaboration with Everstream Analytics, we are harnessing the power of AI to proactively manage risks before they cause disruption to production, ensuring we are resilient and can deliver on the commitments we make to our clients. This foresight will become even more critical as we develop a new value chain around our next generation ultra-desirable modern luxury electric vehicles.”

Julie Gerdeman, Chief Executive Officer, Everstream Analytics, adds: "The global value chains serving electrified vehicles are among the most complex to navigate. Everstream Analytics' AI-driven supplier visibility and insights empower JLR to proactively mitigate risks, enhance agility, and promote supply chain resilience. We are proud to partner with this visionary leader on their journey to drive positive, sustainable change in the automotive industry."
