1. INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY?
Disruptive innovation refers to a concept,
product, or a service that
either disrupts an existing market or
creates a completely new market segment.
It is an innovation that significantly alters
the way that consumers, industries, or
businesses operate. A disruptive
technology sweeps away the systems or
habits it replaces because it has attributes
that are recognizably superior. Therefore
all major industries are concentration
their resources towards research and
development of tech and innovation and
AI.
2. Scope and extent of disruptive
innovation in the logistics and
warehousing sector
According to PWC
(PricewaterhouseCoopers), there
is “no other industry where so
many industry experts ascribe a
high importance to data and
analytics in the next five years
than transportation and logistics –
90% … compared to an average of
83%.”

time and space.
Box-Bay is a joint venture by DP
world and the German industrial
engineering specialist SMS group.
9. It stores each container
into a vertical column
that can be accessed
and retrieved directly
through an automated
system of moving
machines without the
need to shuffle
containers.
10. BENEFITS
It is designed to be fully electrified making
it the only container yard that can be
powered by solar panels on its roof.
Scalable to any location, fully automated
with direct access to each container
It enables significant gains in handling
speed, energy efficiency, safety and a
major reduction in operating costs
Eases congestion of containers

12. LEVERAGING BLOCK
CHAIN AND ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE
TECHNOLOGIES
A decentralized public ledger system that
documents all changes to a record in real
time, Block chain can help make logistics
companies more efficient via a public ledger
system that records the motions of each
shipping container. Armed with that data,
companies can implement faster routes and
eliminate unnecessary steps in the delivery
process.
