Innovation drives logistics and transportation
Innovation is the key to the advancement of the logistics and transport industry. New technologies, products, and services are constantly developed, in most cases by suppliers, who then bring their new ideas to their clients. But these new ideas and solutions need the highest amount of publicity to find the right customers with which to implement them and bring them to life. For that reason, as part of our focus on new technologies and solutions for the logistics and transportation industry, we have invited three key suppliers to briefly present and discuss their new solutions at this year’s SLOVLOG congress:
Štefan Maňúr of HOPI SK will introduce us to HOPI’s digital information education system. Although many logistics jobs will be replaced by automation and emerging artificial intelligence in the coming years, logistics as a whole cannot do without people. Relationship roles and positions responsible for creating solutions for clients will be key, and for that reason HOPI is paying attention to employee training with this trend in mind.
Peter Mačuš of Jungheinrich will talk about the adaptive supply of production lines by autonomous robots (AMR). The presentation will provide insight into the current challenges in internal logistics and cover ways to respond flexibly to changing demand, whether it is possible to replace picking trolleys and tractors, and the keys to effective human-robot collaboration.
Jakub Velko of 108 Real Estate will present the interactive map of land, industrial and logistics real estate in Slovakia. The map allows filtering of parks by class standards (A, B, C) and provides key information about individual locations. It shows the proximity to the main transport infrastructure, allows precise geographic location of parks. Clients can search for properties according to various criteria and analyze them by use, giving them an overview of suitable premises for business activities.
This innovation-focused block will be moderated by Martina Le Gall Maláková, who is among many other things the founder of the Industrial Innovation Cluster. Ms. Le Gall Maláková has extensive international experience in the creation and implementation of both national and international innovation policies. In her career, she has supported the innovation ecosystem through the transfer of knowledge from research, development, and innovation into practice and the support for Slovak talents and innovators.
