Rainer Imm Head of system integrator sales Siemens Logistics GmbH Germany
Today’s growing e-commerce business calls for changes in sorting equipment and processes economically.
A growing number of parcels In all shapes and sizes, as well as varying volumes on a daily basis, are adding more and more complexity to sorting processes. Often therefore conventional processes are stretched to their limits.
Innovative technologies are required to help disrupting operational norms and standards, making challenging concepts like ‘same-day delivery’ and ‘touchless processing’ the new reality and helping to redefine—and build—tomorrow’s logistics infrastructure.
How can innovative hardware and software solutions help to provide more predictability, transparency and efficiency from end to end
to meet these challenges?
