Since its implementation five years ago,
This system significantly improves collection rates and, refurbishment processes, thereby extending the lifetime of the equipment. The solution has been recognised for its innovation (Gartner, Forbes) in fostering a more efficient, faster, simpler and more sustainable supply chain.
Today's supply chains are increasingly global, complex and involve cross-border logistics. This situation poses some challenges such as long delivery times due to market shortages of electronic components or inefficiencies in device procurement.
In this context collaboration becomes essential to address these challenges, as
VICKY enables the Telefónica Group to address these challenges by providing equipment traceability through complete automation of the logistics process and helps suppliers achieve greater efficiency through digitisation.
As a result, the system optimises procurement, avoids delays and facilitates access to product information such as manufacturing location, critical components and relevant information for maintenance processes or equipment refurbishment.Increasing environmental sustainability throughout the process
"We firmly believe that much of the innovation we will see in the near future will focus on process transformation, where new technologies such as blockchain, big data and the internet of things will be key factors in contributing to the decarbonisation of operations while generating environmental benefits," says
Extending the useful life of equipment avoids emissions, waste and resource consumption associated with the manufacture of new equipment. When equipment cannot be reused, the best option is to recycle it, as each piece contains materials such as gold or copper that can be used in new products.
