Welcome to the Supply Chain Data Hub
The world's first dedicated open platform — and a world-leading lab — for Supply Chain Artificial Intelligence.
The Supply Chain Data Hub, created by the Supply Chain AI Lab (SCAIL) at the University of Cambridge, is the first dedicated platform in the world bringing together open datasets, curated research, and global challenges at the intersection of supply chain management and artificial intelligence. Led by Prof. Alexandra Brintrup, SCAIL is internationally recognised as one of the leading laboratories advancing the science and practice of Supply Chain AI.
This Hub brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to share datasets, research, and insights that drive innovation.
🔬 Deep Research in Supply Chain — World's First, Now Open to the Public ✨
SCAIL is the first lab in the world to open a Deep Research agent for supply chain Q&A with interactive Knowledge Graph visualisation — free for anyone to try.
Ask any detailed supply chain question — for example, "Map the tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers of cobalt, lithium, and nickel used in the cathode of Tesla's 4680 battery cell, including country of origin, key refining facilities, alternative materials, and known ESG risks." — and our autonomous research agent will search the web, reason over the evidence, and construct an interactive, citation-backed knowledge graph directly in your browser.
- 🔍 Autonomous multi-step research powered by a helical multi-agent loop
- 🕸️ Interactive knowledge graph rendered live in your browser — no downloads required
- 🔁 Iterate within a channel or start a fresh topic — ChatGPT-style UX
- 🧪 Free public beta — researchers, practitioners, journalists, NGOs all welcome
💌 Interested in collaborating, integrating the system into your workflow, or requesting a custom evaluation? Please contact Prof. Alexandra Brintrup (ab702 [at] cam [dot] ac [dot] uk).
More than just a data repository, the Hub connects the global community through key annual events and competitions hosted at premier IFAC conferences in Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management — including the IFAC World Congress, MIM, and INCOM. These challenges fuel cutting-edge research and practical solutions in logistics, manufacturing, and supply chain systems.
By uniting open data, academic research, and real-world challenges, the Hub empowers users to develop, test, and scale new approaches for building more resilient and adaptive supply chains.
We invite you to explore, contribute, and become part of a growing network shaping the future of global supply chains.
