Fuente: Wipo "digitalization" A raw material system includes a product manufacturing demand estimation system programmed to calculate an expected demand for a product. The system includes an environment detection system configured to identify an environmental condition or event. The system includes a raw material production system programmed to estimate a raw material availability at the future point in time based on the expected demand and the environmental condition/event. The system includes a raw material requirement system programmed to calculate a required raw material amount to manufacture the product based on the expected demand and the environmental condition/event. The system includes a raw material procurement system programmed to autonomously configure a futures contract for procurement of at least a portion of the required raw material amount in response to the required raw material amount calculation exceeding the raw material availability estimation.
