Interview Stefan Rummel - Digitalization of the logistics industry

The topic of digitalization will certainly keep the transport and logistics industry busy for quite some time, as the question of how to define digitalization arises. This could be data topics, new technologies such as artificial intelligence or automation topics. The industry has been dealing with these topics for a relatively long time. The question is always how to put the developments into practice, integrate them properly and automate them. Logistics is quite well positioned and very innovative when it comes to digitalization. Compared to other sectors in particular, logistics is already well advanced in this area.
