Planning a visit to Logistica and ICT & Logistics on Thursday? These six sessions are worth visiting.
ICT & Logistics
Online platforms: without complex implementation always get a grip on the supply chain09.30 - 10.00: Theatre 5
An impressive number of shippers still keep track of inventories and shipments with Excel sheets. Platforms are changing that with real-time insight into freight flows and extremely user-friendly systems. What is the state of platforms in logistics? This session by evofenedex and Flexport takes the audience through the highlights on platform developments in a nutshell.
Supply chain management: faster, better, cheaper, but how do I implement it?
10.00 - 10.30: Theatre 7
The key to successful supply chain management is breaking through an insular culture and working together on the basis of shared business objectives. This requires the organisation to have a clear strategy and a culture that supports it. What steps are needed for this? How do you involve other departments or even companies? And how does this achieve higher customer satisfaction, lower costs and better results? Gijs Dolmans (BLMC) takes visitors step by step towards supply chain maturity.
Effective BI implementation in a data-driven organisation
13.15 - 13.45: Theatre 4
An effective implementation of BI creates synergy between IT and Business. BI does not generate direct income, but value by increasing transparency and insight. It enables internal (and external) stakeholders to decide and operate more effectively and efficiently. A session by Imre Dekker, Data Manager at PGZ International
Logistica
Order picking with autonomous mobile robots
11.30 - 12.15: Theatre 5
During this seminar, prof.dr.ir. René de Koster gives an insight into recent research on AGVs that support order picking. He shows what advantages they can offer and that these advantages depend not only on the type of system, but also on the type of personality of the order picker.
Robotisation - experiences from the 'DC of the future'
14.15 – 15.00:Theatre 1
Implementing a largely automated distribution centre does not happen overnight. Both in the preparation, test phase and during commissioning, aspects come up that determine the success of the project. In the 'DC of the future' of Albert Heijn in Zaandam and at Bol.com in Waalwijk, every effort has been made to prepare the organisation as much as possible for the new, robotised era. Martijn Bakker takes you through his experiences at both projects.
Jumbo opts for full automation
15.15 - 15.45: Theatre 1
Jumbo's latest gem is the national DC in Nieuwegein for long-life products, which has been under construction for a year now and will be operational next spring. A special feature here is that Jumbo is going for maximum automation of material handling, including over thirty casepicking machines, which place outer packaging in roll containers.
