Logistics companies are faced with many #challenges like supply chain disruptions, technology integration or sustainability concerns. However, the major challenge continues to be the #shortage of skilled labor. 👀 Finding skilled workers at the right time and place is always a juggling act. But these shortages become even more pronounced during the #summer months when employees take well-deserved vacations. 🌞 To maintain smooth operations, companies must scrutinize labor planning during this period. Fortunately, an #intelligent #labor #management system can help you better prepare for the summer season. 🚀 By leveraging technology, companies can streamline #workforce planning, enhance #flexibility, and ensure seamless operations - even amidst summer vacations. Check out intelligent features that will support your planning process 👉 https://lnkd.in/dPXPbYfi #redPILOT #OperationalExcellence #WarehouseOptimization #VacationTime #SkilledLaborShortage #WorkforcePlanning #LaborManagement #LMS #IntelligentSoftware

Germany: Deutsche Bahn Agrees to €14.3bn Sale of DB Schenker to DSV Deutsche Bahn’s management board has signed a €14.3 billion deal to sell its international logistics subsidiary, DB Schenker, to Danish transport and logistics group DSV. This move is part of DB’s ‘Strong Rail’ strategy, focusing on core rail activities, and excludes DB Cargo’s rail freight business. The sale, expected to finalize in 2025, is pending approval from DB’s supervisory board and the German government. The decision follows an open sale process and was driven by DSV’s economically advantageous offer, outpacing a competing bid from CVC Capital Partners. Proceeds will be used to reduce DB’s debt, aligning with DB’s focus on rail infrastructure and climate-friendly transport. Earlier this year, DB also sold its Arriva passenger transport business to I Squared Capital. DSV Group CEO Jens H Lund views the acquisition as a transformative event, enhancing their global competitiveness and creating a leading transport and logistics powerhouse. #DeutscheBahn #DBSchenker #DSV #Logistics #Transport #Rail #StrongRail #BusinessStrategy #CorporateFinance #Sustainability

🚚 What innovations will help the logistics industry improve capacity management, last-mile delivery, or infrastructure limitations? From autonomous drones to smart dust, the logistics industry is on the way to reshaping future global supplies. This week, we thus focused on 𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 and topics like Neuromorphic Computing for Logistics, Swarm Robotics for Cargo Handling, Quantum Sensor Networks, Maglev Cargo Trains, and more. 📨Here are the most interesting weak signals we found: • Freight transport through magnetically levitated trains promises reduced friction, higher speeds, and lower energy costs for long-distance shipping. 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐯 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐨 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 have seen some increasing interest over the last 6 months. Noteworthy, China has successfully tested its new ultra-high-speed (UHS) maglev train, which can reach speeds up to 621 mph. The test also proved that it is possible to maintain a large vacuum inside the 2-kilometer-long low-vacuum tube. •𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 utilize bioengineering to create biodegradable packaging and smart materials. The trending topic shows an increase of 472,43 % since November last year. For instance, a joint research team successfully developed a sustainable, marine biodegradable, high-performance paper coating material, providing biodegradable packaging material with high performance without leaving microplastics. • Collaborative robots (swarms) that work together autonomously for cargo sorting, packing, and loading promise optimized processes and more efficiency. 𝐒𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐦 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐨 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 is a trending topic and Researchers from Fraunhofer IML have demonstrated various smart robots that patrol autonomously through the warehouse, move pallets to their correct storage locations, or place parcels from Euro-pallets onto a conveyor belt. • Like bioengineering, 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 shows promises for optimizing packaging. Advanced materials with self-healing properties can prolong packaging lifespan, reduce waste, and enhance the durability of shipping containers. Earlier this year, the topic saw an increase in interest of about 417 % and continued its interest. The interest even further increased by 34 % between June and August. For instance, the Boxery released its new Gaylord boxes, setting new standards in bulk storage and shipping. What #trends should we monitor next?
