Can Goethe give us a helping hand when dealing with AI? In any case, Germany's most important poet wrote a sentence that we should remember when it comes to digital transformation in logistics:  It's not enough to know, you also have to apply. New German: Don't just talk, just do it. At the Trivago UX Meetup in Düsseldorf, it became clear how important it is not just to throw buzzwords around, but to put digital trends into practice with determination.  Gabriel Romero, Junior Product Manager at CretschmarCargo Süd, came back from the user forum, which was all about this, inspired to the core.  His kicks for everyday logistics: 🙋‍♀️ Put people at the center: Those who consistently align AI with customer needs will find it easier to optimize logistics - from route planning to supply chain management. 🚚 Create synergies in the supply chain: Those who harmonize technology with company and customer requirements also manage to transform logistics processes. 🔐 But most importantly: only those who go digital have the key to greater efficiency in logistics practice.  At CretschmarCargo Süd, we are right in the middle of the digital transformation. In the beginning, it wasn't easy for us either to leave the paper age behind and learn how to use the various tools of digitalization. Today, AI helps us to optimize transport capacity, save CO2 and determine arrival times precisely.  Thank you for your insights, Romero. We are on the right track.  #logisticsInnovation #AIinLogistics #Logistics #TrivagoMeetup #logistics #transport #forwarding #europe #germany #ADR #logisticscompany

Miebach Consulting/DVZ Logistics Outsourcing Study 2023   Part 10: Outsourcing grows ever more slowly - now also abroad   A significant reduction in the positive prevailing mood can be seen among both German shippers and service providers. The trend from 1998 to 2014, with a continuous decrease in the proportion of those who predicted an increasing logistics outsourcing trend (1998: 66%, 2014: 53%), seemed to be broken in 2017, when an increasing value of 62% could be noted again. This short-term recovery could not be confirmed in 2020: The rate of those expecting a further increase in logistics outsourcing fell to 48%, and thus below the 50% mark for the first time. In the current study, this figure is now 49% and thus still below the 50% mark. This development can be seen both among service providers and shippers. In the other regions considered here, the mood continues to cool. Among shippers in LATAM, the rate of those expecting further growth falls from 71% to 64%, and in the rest of Europe from 77% to 60%. The corresponding rates among service providers are 80% in LATAM and 50% in the rest of Europe.   With this short article our series regarding the 2023 Logistics Outsourcing Study ends. We hope you did enjoy and stay curious for the next logistics discussions! Outlook: We will conduct a European Chemical Logistics Study during the next months and start presenting the results here in Linkedin most probably in Q4/2024.

High expectations but no willingness to invest - that doesn't go together, does it?   This is how the German Freight Forwarding and Logistics Association DSLV feels about the planned cuts in the federal transport budget for 2025 and, together with 21 other business and transport associations, has published an appeal to the government against the planned austerity measures. According to the association, the claim that Germany is a sustainable business location is in stark contrast to reality.   There are a number of problems, such as damaged roads and bridges, infrastructural gaps and the need for digitalisation. Without sufficient funding and remedying these problems, Germany could become an unattractive location for industry and trade or, in the worst case, no longer fulfil the requirements of the trans-European transport networks.   The latest reports from the Federal Highway Research Institute BASt support these concerns: according to these studies, 2000 trunk road bridges, 1000 railway bridges and around 25% of lock facilities are in an inadequate condition.   The call to the government: take responsibility, stop delaying problems and close investment gaps as quickly as possible.   #transport budget #infrastructure #federal budget #business location #digitalisation #MGC

Do you ever wonder how AI will change our working lives? I am convinced that AI will fully assist us in our daily tasks, but it won’t replace our creativity, our ability to communicate, or our critical thinking skills and ethics.  So how are we dealing with AI at DACHSER?  Our position is clear: AI is a key technology in logistics that helps us ensure the quality of our services and meet challenges such as the shortage of skilled workers and space. That’s why we are already implementing AI-based solutions. There are several areas that we believe are particularly suitable for AI in logistics: 1) Planning and decision-making processes: AI can make a valuable contribution here, for example by forecasting a branch’s incoming goods several weeks in advance. 2) Groupage handling: Using AI image recognition and processing, our @ILO digital twin can locate all packages in the transit terminal down to the meter in real time. 3) Managing complexity: AI algorithms are able to determine if a shipment is to be delivered to a company or a private address and thus which service processes are required. This solves a practical challenge in B2C logistics and maximizes customer satisfaction.  4) Reducing emissions: When it comes to climate action, data and the intelligent use of it play a crucial role. AI data analysis can be used to develop reliable models for the implementation of emission-free local and long-distance transport. In all our efforts, we aim to develop intelligent assistance systems that reduce complexity and support our employees in the best possible way. Logistics is and will remain people business.  #IntelligentLogistics #AI #GenerativeAI #GenAI #Logistics #transport
