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.

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.

Growing product diversity, unstable supply chains, and increasing space requirements present companies with ever more complex challenges in warehouse logistics. How can processes be automated without losing flexibility? And how can a logistics center grow in line with the company? In this masterclass, AM Logistic Solutions demonstrates how the targeted combination of AutoStore, the MOVU shuttle system, as well as conveyor and crane technology creates a scalable and highly automated overall solution. The system was implemented in a machinery center for solid wood processing – with a focus on continuous material flow, modular expandability, and maximum supply security within the supply chain. A real-world case study for everyone who sees warehouse logistics as a strategic growth driver – and who is looking for the path toward automated, future-proof intralogistics.

Intralogistics systems that were built 10 or more years ago are expected to continue to be used for at least another 10 years. However, technology changes significantly over such a long period of time. Components are discontinued, expertise regarding components and systems disappears, new concepts in IT and OT are developed, .... All of these issues mean that system operators are forced to carry out retrofits. Due to the ever-increasing integration of IT and OT, focusing on individual components or trades is often the wrong approach and can lead to excessive additional costs. Likewise, the costs of a retrofit are often so high that simply “ keeping the functionality” is not enough. The retrofit must add value to the systems or adapt them to new requirements. 

In order to address these many challenges together, viastore conducts a “future workshop” with its customers. In this workshop, all risks and opportunities are considered collectively in order to jointly develop a target scenario for the system. Once the goal has been defined, a roadmap is developed together to show how to get from the current situation to the target situation.

Together with SafetyCulture, HOYER reveals how digital transformation optimizes manual inspection processes and actively involves management in promoting safety. 

Based on two specific use cases, you'll learn how HOYER successfully transformed its processes, from the legally compliant storage of critical goods to flexible management walkthroughs. Learn how you can minimize risks, increase operational efficiency, and achieve operational excellence with data-driven insights.

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.

About 

Steven will present how a major European last-mile logistics company leveraged identity resolution technology to create a unified single customer view from 150 million fragmented records with real-time performance and a 99.5% accuracy rate.
 

The case study demonstrates how an enterprise-grade identity resolution solution can handle real-world data challenges including inconsistent data formats, complex addresses, masked emails, and external marketplace integrations from the likes of Amazon and eBay. The resulting 38.1 million golden customer profiles enable critical last mile improvements: enhanced delivery accuracy, reduced failed deliveries, household-level preference identification, and automated fraud detection.

This data infrastructure investment also lays down the foundationals for AI-driven applications. 

The presentation will show how modern identity resolution transforms fragmented customer data from an operational liability into a strategic asset, enabling logistics companies to deliver superior customer experiences while reducing operational costs and unlocking new revenue opportunities through data-driven personalisation and analytics. 

Takeaways

Enterprise-scale identity resolution can be deployed rapidly on big data without sacrificing accuracy

Single customer view enables household-level insights and personalized delivery preferences

Advanced matching handles messy real-world data including eCommerce marketplace integrations and incomplete records

Unified customer profiles reduce failed deliveries while creating foundation for AI-driven analytics and fraud detection
