Digitalization in logistics – from data to impact
Make data the driving force behind your organisation
Data forms the backbone of a successful logistics operation. Companies generate millions of data points, but much of this information remains underutilised.
Valuable opportunities to improve processes, reduce costs and strengthen strategic insights are missed.
During this event, VIL will demonstrate how to use your data in a targeted way to create real impact. VIL will take you step by step through four essential pillars of digital logistics: data collection, data transfer, data management and data processing. Each pillar will be illustrated with a concrete case.
- Data collection – begin with the foundation
VIL shows you how to collect better data from your logistics operations. - Data transfer – seamless flow to the right destination
Open Logistics Foundation demonstrates how a neutral and open platform can foster collaboration, improve processes and connect systems. - Data management – the powerful engine
imec and Caruso Dataspace demonstrate how the right data platform makes your information accessible and directly usable for optimisation. - Data processing – the final result
Port of Antwerp-Bruges shows how they use data for digital twin technology to make their port environment safer, more efficient and controllable in near real time.
Finally, during the inspiration tour in LogiVille, you will discover the latest applications that deliver immediate returns on your data.
Discover examples that offer essential insights to help you utilise your data more intelligently, powerfully and efficiently. Take the step towards data-driven logistics today and make decisions that strengthen your business.
Register and discover how your data can make the difference.
