Logistics 4.0 is to old-school transport management as navigating without a GPS is to driving with a smartphone: it boosts connectivity and eases pain points at every turn.
As we approach the era of Logistics 4.0, a number of factors will contribute to its fast-approaching tipping point, including smart factories and the global supply chain.
What are the distinct elements that define Logistics 4.0 systems? How do these elements incorporate the logic of Industry 4.0, and how do they build on the logistics paradigms of the past?
What will shipping’s digital future mean for your business? What challenges will it present and what problems will it help to solve?
In the spirit of Industry 4.0, some have taken to referring to new and emerging logistics paradigms as Logistics 4.0—but what exactly does this term mean?
The concepts that make up the Industry 4.0 framework don’t have to stop at the edge of the factory floor. Indeed, the very same principles that drive modern, digitized manufacturing are also bringing about the era of Logistics 4.0.
Decision-making silos and poor data integration make an accurate view of the supply chain difficult to come by. The end result is that businesses struggle to get the most out of their transport logistics.
Traffic, weather, and other supply chain events conspire to disrupt the plans of freight forwarders and supply chain logistics experts around the globe. One of the industry’s most important challenges is to mitigate those risks. Strategic network planning is a method of doing just that.
Demand Capacity Planning is an important tool for aligning demand expectations with the realities of your business's production and shipping capacity.
