Where is your focus for the coming year? Automating your processes, optimising your supply chain or reducing your CO2 footprint? Whatever that focus is, thanks to a visit to ICT & Logistiek you will start 2022 prepared. A selection of the programme on 10 and 11 November:
TMS and FMS Tours
TLN's tours will give you an insight into what the market of ICT suppliers currently has to offer in a short time. There are two tours per day. The first TLN tour focuses on automation 'inside the four walls' (TMS/planning) What are the latest developments in Transport Management Systems, Advanced Planning systems, platforms and control towers?
The second tour has a focus on 'outside the four walls' (FMS/asset management). In particular, this tour focuses on the driver and his vehicle (including loading unit). How do systems support the driver's activities, how do we keep control of the position, condition of the vehicle and status of the load?
Per tour, you will visit eight to 12 different stands at the fair. Each supplier will update you in three minutes.
