I've been involved in numerous logistics and optimization projects recently. One major challenge is that everything in supply chains is interconnected and interdependent, making projects overwhelmingly huge and costly with limited short-term results. This approach introduced by Deloitte's supply chain team, called "Modular Maturity," makes a lot of sense. It allows you to prioritize based on a data-driven KPI approach and focus on the most impactful maturity pillar.

Aertssen Logistics has launched its first #logistics site in the U.S., as the Belgian-headquartered company seeks to tap into rising worldwide demand for its specialized heavy machinery logistics services. Aertssen Logistics, a business unit of the Aertssen Group, focuses on the transport, handling, final assembly and management of agricultural, mining and construction equipment. Its sister company, Aertssen Transport, specializes in transporting #heavylift and #projectcargo. The new base, located in Rincon in the state of Georgia some 20 miles from the Port of Savannah, one of the largest container-handling facilities on the U.S East Coast, was picked because of the availability of land for future expansion, a strong local workforce, strategic highways and fast access to the port’s 35-plus weekly services to global markets, the company said in a statement. The 35-acre site will enable it to expand its reach to support manufacturers of construction and agricultural machinery worldwide with “innovative, efficient logistics solutions”. The new entity, dubbed Aertssen Logistics USA, is targeting a twofold increase in the number of machines it processes annually by 2030. A first batch of machines arrived at the site in late May. The company is planning to open additional sites in Baltimore, Tacoma and Houston in the coming years. “We see significant opportunities for growth, fueled by a strong U.S. economy with substantial investments in infrastructure, which are driving an increased demand for our customers’ machinery,” said Guus Verhaagen, business development manager of Aertssen Logistics USA. “At the same time, there is a growing need for more efficient logistics solutions. With our broad range of high-quality services, we are perfectly positioned to meet these demands.” Aertssen Logistics already operates three fully-fledged and strategically located European ‘Equipment Processing Centers’ centered around the Port of Antwerp-Bruges and Zeebrugge, the world’s largest #RoRo complex. A fourth Belgian-based facility is currently in its design phase. The EPCs, complemented by an extensive Asian partner network in the equipment and machinery production markets of China, Japan and Korea, manage the complete outsourcing of logistics activities, including machine inspections, repairs, technical services and assemblies. “Our customers and employees are at the core of everything we do,” said Sam Aertssen, director of Aertssen Logistics. “While we’ve had a strong start in the U.S., it’s crucial to sustain this growth responsibly. I am incredibly grateful for the journey we’ve undertaken so far and look forward to what lies ahead.” 📍 Aertssen Group, a multidisciplinary company operational in a range of sectors including earth-moving, mobile cranes, renewable energy and transport and logistics, is an exhibitor at Breakbulk Europe. #breakbulk #projectcargo #breakbulkeurope #bbeu2025

👏 AI cannot be the solution you want it to be if you’ve done nothing to improve your data hygiene! 👏 Some great points here from Stephany Lapierre. AI cannot automate decision-making accurately if it is based on incorrect or bad data, which let's face it, is still the default across supply chains. Improving and organizing data quality has to be the priority before layering on hyped tech. There I said it. 🤷‍♀️ Miraculous tech can only work miracles if every part of your supply chain is perfect. #AI #Supplychain
