LOGISTIC CHAIN
Forward-looking logistics for a networked world
In today's globalized economy, companies face a variety of challenges. The logistics chain encompasses the entire flow of goods – from the ordering process to intralogistics and transport on factory premises and in public spaces. This includes special vehicles, last-mile processes, automation solutions and supporting technologies.
Geopolitical tensions, natural disasters and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic have exposed the vulnerability of global supply chains. They require a rethink in their design. The increasing complexity of supply chains makes innovative approaches indispensable to ensure efficiency, transparency and flexibility. Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics play a central role here. They not only enable the automation of processes, but also real-time monitoring and control along the entire value chain.
Another crucial factor is sustainability. Companies are under increasing pressure to integrate environmentally friendly practices into their logistics. This includes reducing CO₂ emissions, optimizing transport routes and using resource-efficient processes.
