Imagine you are a truck driver: unfamiliar terrain, no idea where you are going, language barriers and time pressure. In this session, you will experience first-hand how easy it is at companies such as Refresco, Harry Brot, GXO & DS Smith.

Drivers simply register with their mobile phone or at the kiosk, in their own language. One click is all it takes, and they are automatically called via text message. They receive all the important information directly on their mobile phone, in their chosen language – without any help from staff.

What do you need  for this? Just your smartphone.

In this session, experience how smooth and modern arrival and processing can already be today.

What do smart packaging and skinny jeans have in common? Both
fit like a glove, save material, and simply leave out anything superfluous
! While the fashion world celebrates the comeback of the slim fit,
the packaging industry is also increasingly focusing on efficiency, accuracy of fit,
and style. Smart packaging envelops products as precisely as a
perfectly fitting pair of jeans – no room for hot air or unnecessary
ballast. This saves resources, reduces costs, and ensures a
sustainable approach to the shipping process. In this presentation, you will learn
why it is worth leaving oversized boxes and baggy solutions behind
and instead relying on tailor-made, intelligent
packaging concepts. Because: The perfect fit is not only
an asset in the wardrobe – it also makes a
decisive difference in logistics.

Learn how to efficiently charge your fleet in just 15 minutes! Managing Director Tom Spin shows you how weEnergize acts as a partner for your charging infrastructure — from planning to implementation. Using concrete examples from the logistics industry, we demonstrate how a holistic approach combining e-charging, storage, and intelligent management works seamlessly. Tom will discuss measurable cost savings and increased operational stability. You will also learn about our scalable backend system, a technology that enables real-time monitoring, automated billing, and seamless integration into your existing logistics systems.

AI is already delivering real results in logistics, from forecasting and warehouse operations to predictive maintenance. But with so much hype and so many possibilities, where should you focus?

This session cuts through the noise to explore what's most relevant and impactful for logistics leaders today, and what’s coming next. You’ll hear real use cases, practical lessons and a forward-looking view of how AI will evolve across warehouses, transportation and beyond.

Whether exploring AI for the first time or scaling implementation, you’ll leave knowing how to identify the right starting points, prepare your teams and stay ahead of future developments.

Short delivery times, complex supply chains, a shortage of skilled workers and high customer expectations are putting increasing pressure on the logistics industry. Concrete projects at Vanderlande – from AI assistance systems in the control room to intelligent pattern recognition for plant maintenance – demonstrate how artificial intelligence can help meet these challenges.

The result: greater efficiency, higher availability and an upgrade of intralogistics as a modern workplace.

smartSim 3D is a powerful tool for the digital commissioning of logistics processes. It provides a virtual environment in which developers can test and debug processes before they are connected to a PLC (programmable logic controller). This innovative solution helps to reduce implementation effort, improve the test environment and enhance the overall customer experience.

PRODINGER – supported by partner Henkel – presents a practical example of how to optimize stretch film, adhesive use, and packaging processes without major system changes, yet with measurable savings.

Learn how the use of autonomous robots can take the automation of intralogistics a big step forward by future-proofing operations and making them more flexible, especially in peak season, as well as providing answers to labor shortages.

Effective, efficient and innovative logistics processes

In this fast-paced masterclass, discover how targeted recruitment strategies can transform your supply chain operations. Learn how to close talent gaps quickly, align hiring with business goals, and future-proof your workforce. Featuring a real-world case study and a proven framework, this session is ideal for logistics leaders seeking actionable insights and measurable impact.

What if the biggest obstacle in your logistics system is not visible – but hidden in the foundations of your system?  

In this masterclass, we take a look at where efficiency is created – or lost: at the basis of modern logistics systems. Where infrastructural elements are decisive for efficiency, availability and future viability.  

Experience how small technical details in the background can become powerful levers for reliability, energy efficiency and scalability. Discover technologies that not only deliver performance today, but also make your system sustainable tomorrow – without disruptive conversions.

An impulse for decision-makers who want to look at logistics not only from the outside, but also from the inside.

AR, automation, AI – there is broad consensus on the benefits of modern technologies for intralogistics. However, according to recent studies, the majority of companies do not know how and where to start. In this presentation, Julian Doelfs guides you through three levels of future-proof intralogistics processes, based on the real challenges and trends in the industry and taking into account the different starting points of the companies:

Level 1 “Upgrade Your Technology”: Vision picking as a uniform solution for modern warehouse processes without the need for far-reaching infrastructure changes.

Level 2 “Empower Your Workforce”: Satisfied, productive employees and faster onboarding.

Level 3 “Utilize Your Insights”: Valuable data that facilitates informed decisions and lays the foundation for AI use.

The focus is not on technological gimmicks, but on concrete ROI. Each approach presented is designed to create sustainable operational added value.

What you can expect in this presentation: Practical instructions, application examples, and an exciting outlook on TeamViewer's current initiatives.

The Creative Club and Locus Robotics jointly share insights into how The Creative Club automated its 11,000 m² fulfillment center within just a few weeks using Locus Robotics technology, significantly increasing the efficiency of its warehouse processes. The solution not only enables faster order processing and improved customer satisfaction but also delivers a rapid return on investment (ROI). Before automation, the complex handling of fabrics with custom cutting requirements posed a major challenge. Thanks to the new scalable logistics solution, these and other processes have been fundamentally optimized

Industry experts share how companies can streamline operations, reduce complexity, and future-proof their logistics by integrating SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) with Digital Manufacturing (DM).

Where do the real CO₂ costs arise? This Masterclass reveals how emissions in logistics are calculated – and why transportation isn’t the main driver. It offers clear approaches for how logistics can take responsibility and gain influence.
Please note: This session will be held in German.
