Operations management—focus on the employee
- Deutsch
- English
Moderated by: Prof. Dr. Michael Krupp, Professor of Logistics and SCM, Head of THA_ops Research Group for Optimized Value Chains, Augsburg University of Applied Sciences
The labor shortage has long since had an impact on warehouses and logistics centers. Guiding unskilled workers is a core challenge, and operations managers have a key role to play here. But managers often have little or no training for this role. Join us for this forum to discuss the challenges facing operations managers. Hear the employee perspective and learn what they expect from managers. And talk with our experts about options for preparing managers for their core responsibility.

Hype around the industrial metaverse—buzzword or genuine opportunity?
- Deutsch
- English
Moderated by: Jan Kaulfuhs-Berger, editor in chief, Technische Logistik, HUSS-Medien GmbH
Is the industrial metaverse just the next buzzword to drum up business for the same old digital twin technology, or is it the next big thing? The market for the industrial metaverse is forecast to grow to 100 billion dollars by 2030. Imagine an environment that gives us immersive access to the digital twins of industrial assets and lets us experience them interactively and adapt them collaboratively. What opportunities does the industrial metaverse hold for intralogistics? Where is it already being successfully deployed? And who ultimately benefits?

AIDC as an enabling technology for automating and optimizing materials handling, supply chain management, and logistics
- Deutsch
- English
Moderated by: Peter Altes, Director, AIM-D e. V with Thorsten Aha, editor in chief ident, Ident Verlag & Service GmbH
Production, supply chain, and logistics remain at the very heart of the digital transformation process—with growing synergies. Automatic identification and data capture (AIDC) systems are the foundation of these processes and of the interaction between people, machines, and objects. The key challenges here are integration with software systems (such as OPC UA), cloud connectivity (IoT/IIoT), and reliable identification. The experts from AIM highlight the contribution of AIDC in the digital transformation of materials handling, supply chain management, and logistics as a whole.

Order Management Quick Check
- Deutsch
- English
Moderated by: Michael Lickefett, Dipl.-Ing., Head of Department for Factory Planning and Production Management, Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA
A quick analysis to identify targeted improvements: That’s the core idea behind the Order Management Quick Check. The Quick Check combines existing and newly developed methodologies with a focus on qualitative analyses. The analysis looks at the functional logic of planning and control along with its process and organizational structure to obtain an overall picture of the current situation with its strengths and weaknesses. A joint vision is developed as a basis for identifying where improvements can be made using best-practice solutions.

Opportunities for more sustainability in intralogistics
- Deutsch
- English
Moderated by: Dr. Jörg Pirron, Chair of the Intralogistics Network in Baden-Württemberg and Managing Director, PROTEMA Unternehmensberatung GmbH
Implementing sustainable intralogistics is no longer merely an option, it’s a strategic imperative. It begins with supply chain visibility and extends to smart energy-efficient buildings, technical systems, and low-impact packaging. It’s possible to maximize sustainability and efficiency at the same time through clever process design and organization. Training and sensitizing your employees is an essential prerequisite for successful implementation. This forum shows how to tap into trends to use energy and resources more efficiently, assume social responsibility, and streamline operations—all at the same time.
