New trends and startups from blockchain to platforms, from AI to AGVs

- English
Moderated by: Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Michael ten Hompel, Managing Director, Fraunhofer Institute of Material Flow and Logistics (IML), Chair of Materials Handling and Warehousing, TU Dortmund, Dortmund Director of Lamarr Institute for Machine Learning and AI
The future belongs to the bold! The kind of dystopian scenarios we so often encounter obscure the opportunities that AI, blockchain, and the platform economy now offer. Ignoring these current opportunities in favor of a supposedly better future leads to missed opportunities. This forum brings together three young founders and a researcher to talk about how they face the future and how they are developing new technologies, tapping into new markets, and inspiring investors with their confidence. The panel will address the issues of our times: artificial intelligence, blockchain, platforms-as-a-service—and last but not least, the future of intralogistics.

Smart packaging: packages that think outside the box
- Deutsch
- English
Moderated by: Sandra Lehmann, editor, LOGISTIK HEUTE, HUSS-VERLAG GmbH
Will packages someday be able to control their own shipping? Will they someday know what they contain and what the carbon footprint of their transport is? Smart packaging is still considered a distant dream, but how far along is the technology actually? LOGISTIK HEUTE is joined by experts from the academic and business communities to explore these questions in the LogiMAT expert forum “Smart packaging: packages that think outside the box.”

Circular logistics—disassembly as a foundation for sustainability
- Deutsch
- English
Moderated by: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Johannes Fottner, Chair in Materials Handling, Material Flow, Logistics at the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Technical University of Munich
A scarcity of resources coupled with new legislation requires that material be reused after its first lifecycle. Besides recycling, the focus is primarily on the reuse and refurbishment of end-of-life products. The forum brings experts to discuss the disassembly and logistics processes, and how the disassembly of end-of-life products can be the foundation for sustainability. TU Munich is partnering with the automotive industry on various research projects on the disassembly and reuse of components. This knowledge is then fed back into product development.

Logistics for fluid production
- Deutsch
- English
Moderated by: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Robert Schulz, Director, Institute of Mechanical Handling and Logistics (IFT), University of Stuttgart
Shorter product lifecycles, increasingly diverse product lines, and volatile sales are among the challenges of our time. Variable production models such as fluid production offer the flexibility and adaptability needed to respond to these ever-changing requirements. But tapping into this potential depends on the appropriate logistics. This forum explores various aspects of logistics in fluid production, including logistics and safety concepts and hardware and software components.
