Analysis-Just in time? Manufacturers turn to AI to weather tariff storm
By Mark Bendeich LONDON (Reuters) -Manufacturers like U.S. lawnmower maker The Toro Company are not panicking at the prospect of U.S. President Donald Trump's global trade tariffs. Despite five years of dramatic supply disruptions, from the COVID pandemic to today's trade wars, Toro is resisting any temptation to stack its warehouses to the rafters. "We are at probably pre-pandemic inventory levels," says its chief supply-chain manager, Kevin Carpenter, looking relaxed in front of a whiteboard at his office in Minneapolis. "I mean 2019. I think everybody will be at a 2019 level." Among U.S. manufacturers, inventories have roller-coasted this year as they rushed to beat Trump's deadlines for tariff hikes, only to see them repeatedly delayed. But since their post-pandemic expansion, inventories have mostly contracted, according to U.S. Institute for Supply Management data. Instead, "just in time" inventory management - which aims to increase efficiency and reduce waste by ordering goods only as they are needed - is back. But how can firms run lean inventories even as tariffs fluctuate, export bans come out of the blue, and conflict rages? One of the answers, they say, is artificial intelligence. Carpenter says he uses AI to digest the daily stream of news that could impact Toro's business, from Trump's latest social media posts to steel prices, into a custom-made podcast that he listens to each morning. His team also uses generative AI to sieve an ocean of data and to suggest when and how many components to buy from whom. It is a boom industry. Spending on software that includes generative AI for supply chains, capable of learning and even performing tasks on its own, could hit $55 billion by 2029, up from $2.7 billion now, according to U.S. research firm Gartner, driven in part by global uncertainties. HYPE "The tool just puts up in front of you: 'I think you can take 100 tonnes of this product from this plant to transfer it to that plant. And you just hit accept if that makes sense (to you)," McKinsey supply chain consultant Matt Jochim said. The biggest providers of overall supply chain software by revenue are Germany's SAP, U.S. firms Oracle, Coupa and Microsoft and Blue Yonder, a unit of Panasonic, according to Gartner. Generative AI is in its infancy, with most firms still piloting it spending modest amounts, industry experts say. Those investments can climb to tens of millions of dollars when deployed at scale, including the use of tools known as AI agents, which make their own decisions and often need costly upgrades to data management and other IT systems, they said. In commenting for this article, SAP, Oracle, Coupa, Microsoft and Blue Yonder described strong growth for generative AI solutions for supply chains without giving numbers. At U.S. supply chain consultancy GEP, which sells AI tools like this, Trump's tariffs are helping to drive demand. "The tariff volatility has been big," says GEP consultant Mukund Acharya, an expert in retail industry supply chains. SAP said the uncertainty was driving technology take-up. "That's how it was during the financial crisis, Brexit and COVID. And it's what we're seeing now," Richard Howells, SAP vice president and supply chain specialist, said in a statement. An AI agent can sift real-time news feeds on changing tariff scenarios, assess contract renewal dates and a myriad of other data points and come up with a suggested plan of action. But supply chain experts warn of AI hype, saying a lot of money will be wasted on a vain hope that AI can work miracles. "AI is really a powerful enabler for supply chain resilience, but it's not a silver bullet," says Minna Aila, communications chief at Finnish crane-maker Konecranes and member of a business board that advises the OECD on issues including supply chain resilience. "I'm still looking forward to the day when AI can predict terrorist attacks that are at sea, for instance." Konecranes' logistics partners are deploying AI on more mundane data, like weather forecasts. The company makes port cranes that are up to 106 metres (348 ft) high when assembled. When shipping them, AI marries weather forecasts with data like bridge heights to optimise the route. "To ship those across oceans, you do have to take into consideration weather," Aila says. RISING COSTS By keeping inventories low, firms can bolster profit margins that are under pressure from rising costs. Every component or finished product sitting on a shelf is capital tied up, incurring finance and storage costs and at risk of obsolescence. McKinsey has been surveying supply-chain executives since the pandemic. Its most recent survey showed that respondents relying on bigger inventory to cushion disruptions fell to 34% last year from 60% in 2022. Early responses from its upcoming 2025 survey suggest a similar picture, Jochim said. Gartner supply chain analyst Noha Tohamy says that without AI, companies would be slower to react and be more likely to be drawn into building up inventories. "When supply chain organisations don't have that visibility and don't really understand the uncertainty, we go for inventory buffering," Tohamy says. But AI agents won't put supply chain managers out of work, not yet, consultants say. Humans still need to make strategic and big tactical decisions, leaving AI agents to do more routine tasks like ordering and scheduling production maintenance. Toro supply chain chief Carpenter says that without AI, supply chain managers might need to run bigger teams as well. Is he worried that AI is coming for his job one day? "I hope it doesn't take it until my kids get through college!"

Barnwell Industries, Inc. Reports Results for Its Third Quarter Ended June 30, 2025 Together With the Receipt of $2,300,000 of Cash for U.S. Oil and Natural Gas Properties Sale
HONOLULU, HI / ACCESS Newswire / August 13, 2025 / Barnwell Industries, Inc. (NYSE American:BRN) today reported financial results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2025. For the quarter, the Company had revenue from continuing operations of $3,192,000 and a net loss from continuing operations of $1,550,000 or $0.15 per share. In the prior year quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company reported quarterly revenue from continuing operations of $4,506,000 and a net loss from continuing operations of $1,018,000 or $0.10 per share. The net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025, was primarily due to an increase of $565,000, 43%, in general and administrative expenses due to $657,000 in non-recurring fees and costs incurred, net of $348,000 of estimated accrued insurance recoveries receivable, related to a shareholder consent solicitation, various legal actions between Ned L. Sherwood ('Sherwood') and certain of his affiliates (collectively, the 'Sherwood Group') and the Company and certain of its directors, and a proxy contest brought by the Sherwood Group in the current year period as compared to the same period in the prior year. Oil and Natural Gas Operating Results Oil and natural gas operating results decreased $299,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to prior year, primarily attributable to a $1,299,000 decrease in oil and natural gas revenues in the current year period as compared to the same period in the prior year, partially offset by a $399,000 decrease in the ceiling test impairment which was $599,000 in the prior year period compared to a ceiling test impairment of $200,000 in the current year period, and a $449,000 decrease in oil and natural gas depletion in the current year period as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in depletion was due to a decrease in the depletion rate largely due to ceiling test impairments incurred in the prior year period. Foreign Currency Gain The net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2025 included a $219,000 foreign currency gain recorded in the current year period as compared to a $61,000 loss recorded in the prior year period due to the effects of foreign currency exchange rate changes on intercompany loans and advances as a result of changes in the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar, a $280,000 positive impact. Sale of U.S. Oil and Natural Gas Properties On August 8, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with an independent third party to sell all of its working interest in U.S. oil and natural gas assets for a purchase price of $2,300,000, subject to post-closing adjustments. The U.S. oil and natural gas assets, located in Texas and Oklahoma, were owned by wholly-owned subsidiaries of Barnwell. The Company estimates it will incur a loss on sale of approximately $700,000 after related selling expenses and income taxes in the quarter ending September 30, 2025. As a result of this sale, the Company no longer own any oil and natural gas assets in the U.S. Proxy Contest, Expenses Increase While the aforementioned shareholder proxy contest is not continuing as of the date of this report, the Company's annual stockholders meeting has been rescheduled to September 10, 2025 as a result of the dispute with the Sherwood Group and thus related costs will continue to be incurred until the matter is resolved. Accordingly, general and administrative expenses will continue to be affected by this matter beyond June 30, 2025. The Company is unable to estimate the amount of such future costs as the matter is ongoing and such costs will depend upon the future actions to be taken, which are yet to be determined. Due to the recent shareholder consent solicitation and the proxy contest costs incurred and estimated to be incurred, and the impacts of recently imposed tariffs which have caused a reduction in oil prices and have had an impact on the U.S. economy as a whole, we now face greater uncertainty about our professional fees and oil and natural gas operating cash inflows, which in turn has raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is investigating potential sources of funding, including debt financing, the issuance of stock, and the partial or complete sale of its remaining interests in the Kukio Resort Land Development Partnerships. However, no probable timing or amounts of such funding have yet been secured. Summary and Outlook Craig D. Hopkins, CEO, stated, 'The sale of our U.S. oil and natural gas properties provides capital to invest in the well workovers and optimization opportunities in our Twining field that are required to replace production declines. It will also assist in reducing our working capital deficit due to ongoing costs associated with shareholder disputes. Looking forward, the Company will need to raise additional capital to develop our assets at Twining and dilute our fixed costs across a higher revenue base.'
