The Future of Logistics Is Digital and Sustainable

People have always been intrigued by the future. The great unknown and the possibilities it offers fascinate everyone. imagine technologies and developments and assume that they will never exist – and yet  end up holding that very technology in our hands, such as our modern pocket computer: the smartphone.

However, there are other advancements, that are emerging right now and gradually making their way into the mainstream of our society. These technologies will influence logistics on a large and growing scale already in 2022. They are numerous and varied and will affect logistics as we know it in many sectors: in processes, in mobility, in warehousing, in security, and in the stability of supply chains.

Data is a crucial factor for logistics and is becoming more and more important as the volume of data increases. With ever new software and smarter hardware, more and more data can be collected and exchanged with each other. Based on the respective data, the logistics companies involved can draw conclusions from the past and provide forecasts for the future.

                                             

The aim of deploying Big Data and intelligent networking of market participants is to stabilize the entire supply chain and anticipate and avoid potential failures or disruptions, or to develop alternative plans in order to still meet the specified schedules. The data can also be used to optimize transport routes to improve their efficiency.
