In our presentation, Tobias Braun and Dirk Materne will elaborate how smoothly the implementation of the AI-based tour optimization active smart tour worked for our customer and how quick and easy local transport scheduling is now.

Due to various external influences, the demands on the transport & logistics market are constantly increasing. You get insights into our current Warehouse Vision Study and we show how new technologies such as dimensioning, machine vision systems or robotics make your processes safer and more efficient, so that you can offer your customers reliable quality while keeping costs under control.

Many entrepreneurs know this new problem: The order books are full, turnover could be increased, but there are no employees to process these orders. The strenuous and often repetitive tasks in the warehouse ensure that the labour shortage in this sector is glaring in many regions. How can automation be used to counteract this in the long term without losing the flexibility of a dynamically growing company? IGZ has a number of solutions in the SAP EWM environment that really take the pressure off the workers and help your business grow.

Two criteria are crucial for successfully developing sustainable platform products:

3. Product
4. Cooperation

Our solution is designed to optimally support both sides of the road transport equation, that is transport customers and service providers, as they organise and plan their transport logistics.

The market is in flux right now, and demographic developments and the current geopolitical situation are showing no signs of easing.

The best solution is one that transforms the customer/supplier relationship into a strong, resilient partnership.
Our smart, interconnected tools make life easier for dispatchers and their customers, by ensuring that shipping agents, freight forwarders and carriers can cooperate as equals, instead of having to navigate expensive bilateral APIs connected to complicated isolated applications.
We will use real life use-cases to demonstrate how these solutions help and support our community of 150,000 users.

Everyone is talking about supply chain resilience - but this is often equated with real-time visibility. For manufacturing companies, understanding influences on their supply chain - from suppliers to customers - is critical. A resilient supply chain means that it responds, persists and adapts to change as part of its execution. Supplier management in particular offers a lot of potential to stabilize inbound processes and make them more economical through close collaboration and transparency. Michael Rölli talks real use cases to show how processes in inbound management can be adapted and actively controlled based on transparency-promoting collaboration options with suppliers and carriers through the use of digital communication channels, real-time data and slot bookings - and what cost-saving potential this has to offer.

How can logistics tenants deal with the increasing pressure of space scarcity? For logisticians without in-depth real estate know-how, we address the interdependencies of the financial and real estate industries. We present ways in which tenants can use tactical and strategic advantages to gain access to modern space at reasonable costs.

Companies are facing the challenge of adapting their business models & processes for the digital age. Digitalization in logistics is an opportunity and a risk at the same time, in which on the one hand the focus is on the customer relationship, but processes and business procedures must also be rethought. You will gain insight into the implementation of the customer portal myGW of the logistics company Gebrüder Weiss.

By smartly bundling digital offers and data, transport companies and freight forwarders will be able to benefit from the numerous software solutions available in the future without having to carry out their own integration projects. In the masterclass, digitization experts from Bosch and LIS will provide impulses for different use cases and discuss with the participants how the integration of value-added services into a transport management system leads to more safety, transparency, efficiency and sustainability.

Rising diesel prices, driver shortages and blocked trade lanes - shippers are currently facing a variety of challenges. Especially in these times of uncertainty and volatility, strategic planning and security of cargo capacity is crucial. Instafreight shows how short-term tactical actions and strategic capacity planning can be combined without increasing one's own operative complexity.

How to get rid of use-case silos, technology barriers and vendor locks

Transparency is one of the key buzzwords in logistics these days, in order to cope with shaken supply-chains and volatile industrial production. Nowadays there are still many siloed solutions out there. Fueled by massive investments, logistic startups are competing to build holistic freight tracking platforms and warehouse management solutions. But there is another approach to achieve transparency in logistics. Standardization. This masterclass will introduce omlox – the open locating standard and its eco-system of interoperable solutions – ranging from freight tracking, yard management, warehousing, and material flow in production.

Micro Fulfillment is a smart and efficient solution for retailers and their last mile delivery - especially in cities where space is limited and expensive. MFCs enable retailers to be highly dynamic in their order processing: goods can be picked the same day the order is placed, ready for immediate pickup by the customer, or delivered directly to the customer's door. Mirco Fulfillment is emerging as a solution for online grocery in some parts of the world. But is it really a universal solution for the world's (major) cities? Or do regional differences - for example in terms of (shopping) culture, infrastructure and demographics - have an impact on the concept of micro fulfillment?

Logistical cycles have always been the focus of attention when it comes to increasing efficiency and sustainability. In this context, reusable transport packaging and loading equipment, as constants in the flow of materials and production, are the central link of logistical functions. It always gets expensive when containers are missing or overstocks are penalized with high costs. Many companies are currently faced with the challenges of mapping container debts transparently and comprehensibly, optimizing cycles in terms of demand and availability, and reducing disposable packaging materials. Closer integration of all process participants, more transparent processes in real time, and intelligent identification technologies can quickly leverage potential. André Käber shows what a holistic solution model for a supply chain network for reusable transport packaging might look like.

Are you wondering which fleet size of forklifts is ideal for your operations? How can you improve utilization? Are you looking for solutions that will help you reduce accidents and damage costs while increasing the safety of your employees? Or would you like to find ways to increase warehouse productivity, save energy and reduce overall costs?

Thanks to innovative telematics technology, forklifts are becoming connected Smart Trucks that make intelligent, process-controlled and transparent intralogistics possible. Today, modern fleet management systems can do more than simply process data. Current trends and further developments are part of this presentation.

We present the revolution in the automation of warehouse operations using a cloud-based smart warehouse platform solution connected to SAP. Learn how our customer TB International increased productivity and throughput times by 40%, eliminating manual ident processes and optimizing other warehouse processes from goods receipt to goods issue. The INTRANAV Smart Warehouse solution simplifies forklift operator tasks particularly through intelligent networking based on real-time sensor technologies (RFID & UWB) and an industrial RTLS IoT platform.

Today’s logistic value chains need accurate information about the goods all the way from the sender to the final receiver. To create that information a large number of different IT solutions defines, generate, distribute and interpret the information. Unfortunately, there is no world standard that governs the information flow and large integrated systems as well as small stand-alone solutions are installed to try to meet the needs without much coordination or collaboration

Digitization in the supply chain is advancing rapidly, and humans often struggle to keep up with these dynamic streams of complex data. In addition, unexpected events disrupt entire supply chains and are constantly causing new and unforeseen challenges. Such disruptive changes make collaboration with conventional software solutions much more difficult.

In his presentation, Dr David Arfmann shows a smart way for people to work together with Digital Colleagues, thus creating a hybrid learning organization in which humans and machines significantly improve their performance together. This smart way is adapted to the dynamic realities in businesses and supply chains, as a digital colleague learns on the job, instead of being programmed elsewhere. The dictum is: Boosting performance through collaboration with Digital Colleagues #machineslearningALAIQhumans

Megatrends such as digitalisation, "new work" or the transformation of the supply chain are changing the logistics industry lastingly and extreme quickly. Especially in recent years, technical and entrepreneurial progress has been accompanied by a steady stream of new and more complex risks - without the "classic" risks disappearing.

But how do you recognise new risks? And how can you best protect yourself against them? Risk managers and insurance brokers like SCHUNCK are already thinking ahead , constantly working on the protection of existing and future risks.

These challenges do not only entail risks, but above all offer opportunities. Digital contract management and claims reporting are just the beginning. With new digital solutions, we make it even easier for our customers to take out insurance, even in complex risk situations - e.g. with our completely digital application section for cyber insurance.

Shrinking growth in e-commerce, declining willingness to take risks among investors and banks, interrupted supply chains due to pandemics and war - or simply a traffic jam in the Panama Canal.

In the past three years the demands on the supply chain have changed significantly and the decision to invest in an automation solution has become more difficult. If you want to be competitive in the future you have to be able to face rapidly changing markets and adapt your infrastructure accordingly.

In this presentation you will learn when conventional automation reaches its limitation and why new revolutionary solutions like “e.scala” supports you to make your supply chain more resilient.
