10:00 Transparency that pays off Smart pallet handling for the logistics of tomorrow
In this masterclass, you will learn how the use of smart technologies can optimize the flow of
pallet materials and ensure full transparency along the entire supply chain. The focus is on
automated processes for classifying, inspecting and identifying pallets and for localizing load
carriers along the entire supply chain.
We will show you how you can use intelligent sensor solutions and data-driven strategies to
increase the efficiency of logistics processes, reduce damage and cut costs sustainably.
Practical use cases will give you an insight into how automated pallet handling can make
logistics future-proof.Presentation:

10:15 What SMART Packaging and Skinny Jeans Have in Common
What do smart packaging and skinny jeans have in common? Both
fit like a glove, save material, and simply leave out anything superfluous
! While the fashion world celebrates the comeback of the slim fit,
the packaging industry is also increasingly focusing on efficiency, accuracy of fit,
and style. Smart packaging envelops products as precisely as a
perfectly fitting pair of jeans – no room for hot air or unnecessary
ballast. This saves resources, reduces costs, and ensures a
sustainable approach to the shipping process. In this presentation, you will learn
why it is worth leaving oversized boxes and baggy solutions behind
and instead relying on tailor-made, intelligent
packaging concepts. Because: The perfect fit is not only
an asset in the wardrobe – it also makes a
decisive difference in logistics.Presentation:

What if employees suddenly became actively involved in the topic of leadership?
Managers receive regular training on the topic of leadership. Everyone has an idea of what strategy to use in the team to get the best possible results. The catch is that not everyone is equally good at taking employees on an appropriate journey as part of “day-to-day” leadership or communicating what exactly the manager is trying to achieve with their behavior.
Employee Integrated Leadership: Managers actively involve their employees in the topic of leadership. Specific goals are discussed. How these are to be achieved. What requirements the manager has of the employees. In return, the employees explain what they expect from leadership. Under what conditions does each individual achieve the best possible performance. Together, a corridor is created in which maximum efficiency can be achieved in the work process.

17:30 The invisible heroes of logistics: Small components. Big impact.
What if the biggest obstacle in your logistics system is not visible – but hidden in the foundations of your system?
In this masterclass, we take a look at where efficiency is created – or lost: at the basis of modern logistics systems. Where infrastructural elements are decisive for efficiency, availability and future viability.
Experience how small technical details in the background can become powerful levers for reliability, energy efficiency and scalability. Discover technologies that not only deliver performance today, but also make your system sustainable tomorrow – without disruptive conversions.
An impulse for decision-makers who want to look at logistics not only from the outside, but also from the inside.

15:00 M2X: Further standardisation in the field of AGVs in addition to VDA 5050
When implementing AGVS projects, companies fail due to high integration costs and time expenditure.
There is a lack of standards, which means that AGVS are still customised solutions. As VDA 5050 shows, companies are demanding simple solutions that can be implemented quickly.
The M2X project is an open source initiative that standardises AGVS interfaces in cooperation with industry and users.

16:45 AGV dance with trucks? How to avoid deadlocks with intelligent planning
When multiple automated vehicles meet in a narrow passage, the attempt for mutual collision avoidance can result in a deadlock in which the robots block each others way. This behavior, affectionately known as “AGV dance”, should be avoided at all costs, both with indoor AGVs and especially with larger vehicles such as automated trucks in depots. This keynote will demonstrate how latest research results can be used to efficiently coordinate multiple vehicles using the helyOS control tower software framework and beyond.
