Start2Twin Closing Event – The Power of Digital Twins in Logistics
Discover how Digital Twins can accelerate your logistics operations
Warehouse decisions are often made with limited insights. A new layout, a modified process, or adjusted scheduling? The impact remains difficult to predict.
With a Digital Twin, you can avoid trial and error. This technology makes it possible to virtually simulate and optimize logistics operations without posing risks on the shop floor.
Faster and more informed decisions
During the Start2Twin project, VIL collaborated with companies to investigate how Digital Twins can create value in the Flemish logistics sector. The research quickly demonstrated that companies using Digital Twins make decisions faster and with greater confidence.
Concrete real-world examples show how companies:
- Pick orders more efficiently through insights into optimization scenarios, improved process metrics, or layout adjustments
- Plan more intelligently based on workforce data
- Make logistics decisions faster through real-time pallet tracking
During this closing event, you will gain inspiration from the lessons learned in real-world examples and receive a step-by-step plan to get started with Digital Twins in your warehouse.
