The “Silicon Economy” heralds the AI-based platform economy of tomorrow. Digital technology is the name of the game, and intralogistics is the playing field. Even the biggest industry players are beginning to realize that you can’t win this game on your own. You need a secure data environment, user-friendly interfaces, and actual standards that are more than just bits and bytes. If the next phase of the digital revolution is to succeed, there’s no time to reinvent the wheel for the umpteenth time. Logistics must rely more heavily on software. The establishment of the Open Logistics Foundation affords us a unique opportunity to work together toward open-source hardware, software, interfaces, and apps.
Let’s talk.

Panel discussion with:
 

• Jakub Piotrowski, CIO and Chief Digital Officer, BLG Logistics Group
• Stefan Hohm, Chief Development Officer, DACHSER Group SE & Co. KG

Moderated by: Matthias Pieringer, editor in chief, LOGISTIK HEUTE, HUSS-VERLAG GmbH

Fires in logistics centers pose a grave risk to supply chains and frequently lead to downstream disruptions. This makes fire safety absolutely essential for warehouses, distribution centers, and the like. But how can fire safety solutions be integrated alongside high-performance intralogistics concepts without losing efficiency? What role does the increasingly important storage of lithium-ion batteries play? Experts working in the fields of logistics and logistics real estate will address these and other questions.

The challenge of planning and controlling warehouse processes is growing more daunting. Choosing the right WMS and software vendor is no simple task. There are so many solutions to choose from, and companies don’t usually set aside much time to select the right one. When such solutions are actually implemented, they don’t always bring the hoped-for success. This leads to calls for agile approaches. But is every company ready for this? What exactly does agile mean? Is agile always the right tool? How do you check which approach is appropriate in a specific case?

One of the core concepts behind Germany’s “Industry 4.0” initiative is the smooth interaction between humans and machines. But the demands placed on logistics systems are constantly growing, driven by an increasing variety of inventory and rising cost and deadline pressures. Modern technologies and intuitive interfaces offer new freedoms as we design the workplaces of tomorrow in a changing society. This forum brings together experts from the business and academic communities to explore how assistance systems can support humans, drive down error rates, and much more.
