Blue Yonder builds AI model training factory with NVIDIA to power autonomous supply chains

Blue Yonder has launched its Model Training Factory, built on NVIDIA Nemotron, to develop specialised AI agents for autonomous supply chains. The system combines NVIDIA's open-source models and NeMo AI tools with Blue Yonder's supply chain expertise to create fine-tuned models that can execute complex workflows. The factory uses NVIDIA's agentic AI stack to train models for specific supply chain tasks, from warehouse decisions to planning operations. Models are trained on synthetic data and evaluated before deployment, offering a cost-effective alternative to large frontier models whilst maintaining precision and speed. Blue Yonder plans to deploy initial models for warehouse management workflows later this year, addressing high-frequency decisions around inventory exceptions and allocation. The company says its approach creates reusable AI training signals that encode operational expertise across supply chain domains.
