Operators warned AI is moving fast

27 May 2026

The logistics sector is entering a new era of rapid technological change, with delegates at the Microlise Transport Conference in Manchester warned that AI is now evolving faster than many operators are able to adapt. This is adding to wider pressures on supply chains, where keeping operations safe, resilient and efficient has become just as challenging as digitising them.

From AI and automation to cyber security, infrastructure and driver safety, the message from the event was that while technology may now sit at the centre of modern transport operations, people, culture and decision-making still determine whether systems succeed or fail.
