Google Maps

Altana Technologies CEO Evan Smith says advanced technologies, a visual mapping approach and federated data can improve supply chain visibility.

Intelligence is shared across the network and between all users, but not the data itself. We bring the map to you, not the other way around.” Smith explained that through the company’s federated learning platform, the Altana Atlas constantly learns from the billions of data points gleaned from public and non-public data. In the background, he said, Altana’s investigative users help to scour the globe for risk. What we’re trying to do is first clear away that fog.” Visibility can be vastly improved, he said, by using a network approach to forge a single, unified view of supply chain risk. “It’s not a niche thing…it’s the most interesting thing.”
