But all of this was 2002.
For the last two decades, twice the ports and labor could not agree on the terms (2002 & 2014) where there were significant delays in the availability of containers at ports. For example, for a small container ship between 0 and 4,000 TEUs, the unloading and loading time is three times higher than the most-efficient port.
And while during the SARS epidemic of 2002 and 2003, China represented 4.3% Tire companies, for example, now use sensor data to monitor tire pressure and proactively alert customers about maintenance.

There is not anymore, the need to sacrifice profitability to achieve sustainability, companies need the partnership and collaboration of their supply chain.
For example, a smart sensor in the truck might be able to detect an imbalanced load or a flat tire, but it falls to the driver to fix that issue before rolling on down the road.
