Unilog.SC October Report Finds Four in Five Equipment Manufacturers Face Weekly Alert Overload

Unilog.SC released its October 2026 Industry Research Report on October 20, 2026, finding that four of five global equipment manufacturers surveyed receive between 300 and 2,000 control tower alerts each week, with only 15% to 50% considered high priority. The Lynbrook, New York-based supply chain orchestration and execution company published the findings, citybiz reported.

What the Unilog.SC Report Found

The report, titled Your Control Tower Sees Everything. That Is the Problem, examines how service parts organizations can prioritize operational alerts and prevent equipment downtime. Planning teams spent between 40% and 90% of their time managing differences between planned inventory movements and actual supply chain conditions, according to the research. Unilog.SC identified a recurring challenge in which many companies respond to service parts shortages after they occur rather than using available inventory and logistics data to prevent them.

"The control tower sees everything and treats every alert the same," said Eyal Yossef, Vice President of Supply Chain Solutions at Unilog.SC. "Its real job is to pick out, from the thousands of things that are slightly wrong, the few that will stop a customer's machine."

In a simulation based on a global IT hardware company's service network, transferring inventory between local warehouses before a shortage improved same-day fill rates by approximately three percentage points from a baseline near 95%. Sending replacement parts earlier from a central warehouse produced an improvement of approximately four percentage points, while expediting repairs and reserving inventory for premium customers did not produce measurable improvements. Approximately 30% of transfers between local warehouses accounted for 80% of the improvement.

The report outlines ten categories of service parts exceptions requiring intervention, including potential stockouts at forward stocking locations, customs delays affecting cross-border transfers and customers approaching contractual downtime limits. Unilog.SC recommends that organizations evaluate how many alerts planners actually review, distinguish preventive interventions from responses to existing stockouts and automate routine inventory decisions where appropriate.
