ider OMP. According to a company announcement, Kraft Heinz is leveraging OMP’s Unison Planning™ platform, which integrates autonomous planning, decision intelligence, and artificial intelligence optimisation to enhance operational collaboration, manage complexity, and reduce waste in its supply chain from farm to table.
Thiago Serra, Kraft Heinz’s Head of Integrated Business Planning, is scheduled to share insights into how the company is creating a more agile and sustainable value chain by combining digital intelligence with end-to-end visibility. The company claims such data-driven planning is generating tangible business impacts across its operations, an approach that aligns with broader industry trends highlighting the need for resilient, adaptable supply chains underpinned by smart technology.
OMP, which provides what it describes as the market’s leading digitised supply chain planning solution, will also showcase its recently unveiled AI orchestration framework, UnisonIQ, at the event. According to the firm, UnisonIQ is embedded within Unison Planning™ and supports continuous autonomous decision-making through always-on AI agents and a generative AI assistant called the Unison Companion. This framework aims to shift organisations from reactive to proactive supply chain planning, enhancing resilience amid market volatility.
The Gartner summit itself, held at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center in Aurora, Colorado, is designed to explore how AI and autonomous technologies can advance supply chain planning by managing complexity and driving agility. The conference draws supply chain leaders globally, offering over fifty research-driven sessions and peer workshops focused on high-impact decision-making and intelligence execution.
While Kraft Heinz’s presentation and OMP’s technology appear poised to illustrate cutting-edge developments in supply chain digitalisation, industry experts note that the broader challenge remains in the practical integration of these tools into existing systems and processes at scale. The effectiveness of AI-driven planning solutions often depends on data quality, organisational buy-in, and continuous evaluation against fast-changing market conditions.
Nonetheless, Kraft Heinz’s adoption of AI and autonomous planning reflects a wider movement within the food and beverage sector towards smarter, more sustainable supply chains. As supply chain disruptions continue to pose risks to global food security and business continuity, the deployment of such advanced planning technologies could play a significant role in enhancing both efficiency and environmental responsibility across complex value chains.
