Programme of the Logistics Congress 2025
How Do We Identify the Most Relevant Trends For Us and Respond to Them Effectively?
The pervasive influence of global, technological, and digital trends, along with the escalating complexity of products, is significantly impacting our daily lives. While extensive discussions center around these phenomena, it is noteworthy that the region has never before witnessed such substantial investments in logistics development, encompassing both infrastructure and technological modernization. It is imperative to know the industry trends and remain informed about the activities of other enterprises. However, the critical task lies in identifying which trends have the potential to impact our operations and appropriately adapting our strategies in response.
During the 12th International Logistics Congress, themed “Supply Chains in Science and Practice,” we will showcase best practices of effective logistics collaboration, yard management, and sustainability in logistics (ESG). The implementation of ESG standards is currently impacting our operations and is projected to exert even greater influence on our economy in the future. In acknowledgment of this significance, a dedicated plenary session will delve into this topic. Notably, the digital twin, a pivotal advancement arising from Industry 4.0, is substantially upgrading manufacturing and logistics processes. Furthermore, our discussions will consistently encompass automation and robotics within production, transport, and logistics, demonstrating the latest technological trends through illustrative best practices.

LOGISTICS IN 2030
The requisite changes in logistics are propelled by global, organizational, sociological, technological, and digital trends, and more recently, even by biotechnological trends. Understanding and incorporating these trends is crucial to strategically drive the development of logistics in our companies. Our discussions will emphasize artificial intelligence, orchestration, and supply networks, etc. as key focus areas.

Cooperation in logistics
When aiming to enhance productivity, the most effective results are achieved through the implementation of “lean” concepts, digitalization, and technological modernization However, companies often fail to take full advantage of the opportunities that come with collaboration. The magnitude of operations is a key factor in driving performance improvement, and this is most effectively achieved through cooperation. At larger scales of operation, the effects of technological and organizational optimizations are significantly amplified and can bring about substantial change. How have companies structured their cooperative processes? What are the effects of cooperation across different industries?

YARD MANAGEMENT
Yard management carries significant importance in both large-scale and increasingly in smaller systems. The digitization of the missing part of the SCM process, in connection with platforms for company communication with drivers, plays a crucial role in managing losses up to loading/unloading docks. What have companies learned from their experiences in implementing these solutions? Where does the demarcation lie between “yard management” and an exchange platform?

ESG - BEST PRACTICE PROJECTS
Sustainability is an increasingly pressing issue that every European company will inevitably confront in the near future. Reporting poses a significant challenge, but companies must proactively devise a sustainability strategy, (e.g. a carbon footprint reduction strategy), take appropriate actions, and subsequently report on their efforts. What measures should companies adopt to reduce their carbon footprint? How have companies structured their approach? What are the tangible impacts of these actions, and how do companies communicate and report on these impacts?

HOW TO USE THE DIGITAL TWIN TO UPGRADE LOGISTICS PROCESSES?
Digital twins are absolutely vital for boosting productivity, efficiency, and quality in manufacturing and logistics. Combined with artificial intelligence and machine learning, digital twins are unquestionably the foundation of digital transformation. This technology unquestionably enhances resource allocation and reduces risks. How have companies improved their planning and monitoring processes in manufacturing and logistics using digital twins, and what have the effects been? How should such projects be approached?

AUTOMATION AND DIGITALISATION IN PRODUCTION AND LOGISTICS
The attitudes toward digitalization, automation, and robotics have significantly transformed in recent years. Ambitions for modernization surpass available options, so it is crucial to maximize digital and technological modernization efforts and take the right steps. What are the opportunities for technological modernization throughout the supply chain? How should it be approached? What measures have companies utilized to achieve the utmost success?
