A horizontal bar chart presents trendy technological supply chain features on the vertical axis and the level of application by technology type on the horizontal axis. The features listed include visibility, transparency, information sharing and analysing, flexibility, controlling and managing, traceability and tracking, collaboration, agility and risk mitigation, assessing situations, connectivity, accuracy, automation, integration, responsiveness, efficiency and effectiveness, delivery, inventory placement, and personal protective equipment production. Each feature is represented by a stacked horizontal bar divided into segments that correspond to different technology types, including artificial intelligence, radio frequency identification, blockchain technology, generic industry 4.0 technologies, automation technologies, internet of things, big data analytics, additive manufacturing, robotics, drones, augmented reality and virtual reality, and cloud computing. The combined bar lengths indicate the relative frequency or extent of application of each feature, with information sharing and analysing showing the highest overall application, followed by visibility, collaboration, and agility and risk mitigation.Trendy technological SC features
