In this interview from Blue Yonder AI and the Autonomous Supply Chain, Duncan Angove, chief executive officer of Blue Yonder, joins Nunzio Esposito, chief design officer of Blue Yonder, to talk with theCUBE's Dave Vellante about the new operating architecture required as supply chains face permanent disruption. Angove explains why forecasting-and-orchestrating models built for stable demand no longer work amid tariffs, geopolitics and volatile consumer behavior, arguing for continuously adapting systems powered by the Blue Yonder Network. Esposito details how design has shifted from serving static dashboards to building for "operators" and agents alike, emphasizing commands over clicks and ruthless simplification across the platform.
The conversation also explores how Blue Yonder is building trust into agentic systems through continuous feedback loops, role mapping and change management practices designed to ease adoption on the warehouse floor. Angove unpacks the company's open-weight model partnership with NVIDIA built on Nemotron, noting that specialized supply chain models now outperform general frontier models on accuracy, speed and cost while keeping customer data private. He also details "Frictionless Outcomes," an agentic approach to software migration that can move customers off legacy planning and warehouse systems in as little as 24 hours. Esposito breaks down how telemetry and knowledge graphs capture operator behavior to continuously improve the system, reframing the traditional concept of user acceptance testing as "operator endorsement." From the labor shortage reshaping the workforce to the rise of physical robotics, Angove and Esposito outline a future where supply chains operate as one adaptive, orchestrated system rather than siloed departments.
