Análisis de la aplicación de inteligencia artificial y automatización en el área logística durante la etapa de transporte y distribución en las camaroneras del Ecuador.

Abstract

In the Ecuadorian shrimp industry, the implementation of new technologies focused on automation and the utilization of artificial intelligence in the logistics and transportation of shrimp to ports is an emerging area. Therefore, it is essential to understand the impact of their implementation. Given this context, an exploratory qualitative study is necessary, as ongoing theorizing surrounds the potential applications and integration of these technologies into the existing processes. Several aspects must be considered, as this is a multifactorial problem where economic factors, including private investments both domestically and from foreign sources, along with public factors, play a role in determining the feasibility of widespread adoption. Currently, these technologies are confined to a limited niche. Their ability to replace human labor without negative consequences for future utilization is still unfeasible.
