Shares in Kion rose on Tuesday after the German supply-chain solutions company said it was collaborating with Nvidia and Accenture to optimize supply chains with AI-powered robots.

In morning trading, Kion shares rose 8.9% at 34.74 euros. Nvidia shares trade 1.51% higher premarket at $151.69.

In a joint statement, Kion said it is collaborating with IT services company Accenture to optimize supply chains using chip maker Nvidia's advanced artificial intelligence and simulation technologies.

The team-up allows for the creation of warehouses that are part of a smart agile system and can handle nearly any supply-chain challenge, Kion's Chief Executive Rob Smith said.

"By integrating Omniverse and Mega into their solutions, Kion and Accenture can dramatically accelerate the development of industrial AI and autonomy for the world's distribution and logistics ecosystem," Nvidia Chief Executive Jensen Huang said.
