Preparing for disruption: atma.io Spring '23 release introduces an industry-first integration with ChatGPT and a new DPP Essentials module

"The pace of change will never be as slow again as it is right now."

When we think about the level of disruption that we've each experienced in our own lives over the last several years, that quote can feel quite daunting. Not for the atma.io team at Avery Dennison , who not only embrace the future but help to create the future, too.

Two of the biggest disruptions that are already here and will only increase in pace and intensity are artificial intelligence or AI (read Bill Gates 's essay here) and Europe's Digital Product Passport legislation (read WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development , a group we are proud to be a part of, and their primer on DPP here). And while we've been powering customers with AI and tools to manage every facet of their products' lifecycle for years, atma.io connected product cloud Spring '23 release takes AI-enabled supply chain transformation to a whole new level.

On behalf of our amazing, hardworking team, I am proud to share the latest updates to the atma.io connected product cloud as part of our Spring '23 release.

Speed up the operational workflow and create efficiencies in supply chain management through atma.io’s integration to generative AI language, including ChatGPT

As the first of many applications of generative AI on atma.io, our integration with ChatGPT will enable better collaboration and more efficient communication amongst partners within the supply chain. 

The goal of using AI technologies, including ChatGPT, is to increase efficiency by reducing the time people need to spend on repetitive, manual tasks. Today, sourcing and supply chain managers spend a significant amount of time chasing information via email, typing out repetitive inquiries and follow-ups. With our generative AI, we are helping to speed up this process significantly, while maintaining the trusted, human connections among partners in the supply chain.

While this is the first release of generative AI-driven capabilities, I am excited to share that the atma.io team is working on a number of additional capabilities, such as natural language queries on the large datasets atma.io manages, as well as content creation for consumer facing experiences, and intelligent, personalized notifications. These additions will be rolled out gradually over the course of the year to enable atma.io customers to benefit first-hand from the continuous advancements in generative AI. 

Get ready for the EU Digital Product Passport initiative with DPP Essentials

DPP is key to the EU’s transition to a circular economy and will provide information about products’ environmental sustainability. It aims to improve traceability and transparency along the entire value chain of a product and to improve the management and sharing of product-related data which are critical to ensuring their sustainable use, prolonged life, and circularity. DPP will help consumers and businesses make informed choices when purchasing products, will enable more efficient recycling processes, and will help authorities to better perform checks and controls.

A new dedicated atma.io module for Digital Product Passports (DPPs) will help prepare firms today for the forthcoming EU scheme which will begin from 2026 across Batteries, Textiles, and Consumer Electronics. Our atma.io Spring ’23 updates include a new dedicated DPP Essentials consumer experience template. Brands can use the template to directly communicate key data such as raw material insights, product certificates, carbon footprint tracking, and tips to extend the life of garments through repair, reuse, and remanufacture. 

Gain actionable insights from your supply chain data with the warehouse reporting dashboard, powered by the redesigned KPI service

Monitoring the performance of large-scale warehouse operations and spotting bottlenecks can be a daily struggle for operations managers. atma.io’s redesigned KPI service is better, faster and more powerful at leveraging item data on the platform to calculate and visualize metrics. Built on top of the KPI service, the new warehouse dashboard is filterable by site and date and it shows all relevant performance metrics for warehouse operations.

tl;dr: Industry-first generative AI. DPP Essentials. Next-gen warehouse dashboarding. Disruption will be faster tomorrow than it is today. atma.io Spring '23 release and the team at Avery Dennison can help your company prepare.

The last 12 months continued our journey helping brands, supply chains, and consumers drive savings and sustainability through traceability. I'm so excited for how our atma.io Spring '23 release will transform how we make, how we distribute, how we sell, and how we use and reuse products. Let's create the future together.

🙏 Thank you to the atma.io team for continuing to push boundaries of what is possible. Thank you to our customers and partners for co-creating with us and allowing us to be a part of your transformation journey. Thank you to Avery Dennison for walking the talk of "disrupting ourselves" and leading at the intersection of physical and digital.

Onward and upward... and faster! 🚀
