Title: BULOG Goes AI: Driving a New Era in Indonesia’s Food Logistics

In an ambitious move to become the most trusted food supply chain leader in Indonesia, Perum BULOG has announced its intent to fully adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI) across all facets of its logistics operations. This is more than a technology upgrade—it’s a comprehensive digital transformation aimed at increasing efficiency, ensuring food security, and strengthening national resilience.

With a nationwide presence spanning over 1,500 warehouses and branches that cover all provinces in Indonesia, BULOG’s supply chain handles critical national food commodities like rice, corn, and soybeans. However, legacy processes and fragmented systems have posed operational challenges—from inventory inaccuracies to delays in government distribution programs.

That’s where AI steps in.

Through its “BULOG neXt” transformation agenda, AI will become the core engine driving smart forecasting, warehouse automation, predictive maintenance, optimized transportation, and real-time decision-making through advanced dashboards. Key initiatives include:

• AI-powered Supply Chain Control Tower (SCCT) for real-time monitoring and predictive analytics.
• Smart Warehousing systems integrating IoT, RFID, and AI-based CCTV to improve stock visibility and security.
• AI-enhanced demand planning and multi-year joint planning with government agencies.
• AI-assisted rice stock prediction to optimize inventory levels, reduce wastage, and ensure stock availability across all regions.

This transformation isn’t just about efficiency—it’s about building a future-ready food logistics powerhouse that is digitally connected, financially sustainable, and socially responsive.
