AI on the rise
July 2022 marked the official launch of the Transfer Centre for Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the Bremen and Bremerhaven sites. The centre has since not only raised awareness of AI among the general public by organising such events, rather it has also supported local small and medium-sized companies in implementing AI technologies. The main goal, however, is to use networking activities to strengthen and expand Bremen’s AI ecosystem. The centre is funded by the Senator for Economic Affairs, Labour and Europe.
On the way up
With the amount of space available dwindling and automation on the rise, more and more logistics companies are not only thinking ahead, but are also thinking upwards. Examples include the high-bay storage systems for BOXBAY containers and for NORDFROST frozen foods.

Main Topic
Dashing into the future?
Where exactly are we on our path towards digitalisation and automation, and where will it take us? Where are the stumbling blocks, and what’s the best way to advance digitalisation? One thing is clear – speed isn’t everything, but we shouldn’t underestimate it either.
Port cooperation: All rowing in the same Direction?
No discussion about Germany’s maritime sector would be complete today without the terms “national port strategy” and “port cooperation” cropping up at some stage. However, those responsible for ports in each German state and the stakeholders have very different views on how things are developing. They do agree, though, that Berlin has a decisive influence on both the direction we will need to row in the future and how quickly. Moreover, each location wants to emphasise its individual qualities as a universal port.
Blessing or curse?
Whether it is Work 4.0, artificial intelligence (AI) or digitalisation and automation, people respond very differently to these keywords.

Three and two equal one
Many European seaports have merged over the past 20 years. What drove their decision to do so, and what obstacles were there along the way? LOGISTICS PILOT was on the case.
Adieu Asia?
Though production sites on the largest continent of the world maintain their prominence, there is a clear trend towards nearshoring in the textile industry. This is having a significant impact on fashion logistics and specialised service providers such as Group 7 and Fiege.

Point of view
Digitalisation
Logistical twins are a logical choice
OHB Digital Services, a Bremen-based company, has developed a digital twin which, thanks to satellite data, works best precisely where it is most difficult for other software – in large outdoor spaces – and offers a high degree of flexibility without permanent markings or manual registration of goods and location.
An invitation to co-optimise
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics adopted the “agile working” mindset just under three years ago – the Osnabrück-based logistics service provider does not see working this way as a short-term strategy.
How much IT goes into fish & co.?
It all started back in 1962 with fish at FRoSTA. At that time, material flow control was done exclusively on paper, and until 1970 the frozen food expert from Bremerhaven even had its own fishing fleet. Nowadays, the company relies on digitalisation in almost every area – without its own vessels, but with visible success.

Logistics as part of the solution
How can globalisation be made to be both sustainable and prosperous? This is one of the core questions being addressed at the Kühne Center for Sustainable Trade and Logistics in Zurich.
