3. Trends in the Logistics Industry


3.1. Visibility

• Consistent transparency throughout all transport processes and inventories

• Real time information

• The Internet of Things

• RFID privacy and security concerns

• Software-as-a-service (SaaS)

How to collect, process and transmit information

Visibility – challenges


Visibility – solutions

3.1. Visibility

Smart SensorRFID

• Constant temperature

monitoring during the entire

transport

• Online tracking & tracing and

data analysis via web portal

• RFID systems transport

information about a

product, a pallet or entire

inventories

• Fast and automatic reading

of data without direct visual

contact

Real Time Solutions

• Provides visibility on

temperature, humidity, shock

or light

• Worldwide location tracking

based on GPS / GSM

3.2. Security

• Anti-theft: lost or stolen assets, increasing insurance costs

• Life Sciences: Industry standards for medical transports

• Recalls and repairs: customer safety, customer complaints, company reputation

• Anti-counterfeiting: the global trade in counterfeit goods is growing at an alarming rate

How to minimize security risks and to monitor access control

Security – challenges


3.2. Security

Cold Chain

• Temperature-controlled

and -monitored shipping

across all sectors

• Online tracking & tracing

and data analysis via web

portal

Recall Solutions City LogisticsCold Chain Recall

• Recalls have to be carried

out quickly to prevent

further damages

• Increased consumer safety

Anti-theft

• Security monitoring due

to GSM/GPS tracking

devices

Supply Chain Management in megacities


3.3. City Logistics

• Increase in the urban share of the overall population

• Continuous emergence of new megacities

• Cities take up 2% of the earth’s surface and consume about 75% of their resources

• general infrastructure matters, air pollution, and transport and traffic issues

• Transportation of goods within cities requires efficient logistics

How to adjust how cities use resources to the new social, economic and ecological conditions

Urbanization – challenges


3.3. City Logistics

City Logistics

• Reduces inner city traffic

volumes

• Transport of consolidated loads

reduces CO2

• City and government

authorities as customers and

major supporters

Smart Truck

• Navigation technology and

the consideration of current

traffic conditions

• Lowering transport costs and

CO2 emissions due to

optimized tour planning

Packstation

• Fully-automated parcel service

in urban areas

• Five DHL SERVICE POINT

24/7 outlets in Dubai - profile

as a sustainable city

Urbanization – solutions


3.4. Sustainability

• Up to 80 % of warehouse energy consumption is due to lighting.

• 253 million tons of packaging is used annually in the consumer industry - half paper, half plastic.

Production of the paper requires 7 million trees to be felled.

• Out of 1.62 billion tons of truck emissions in Europe, roughly one quarter are caused by trucks

running empty.

• Aerodynamic drag is responsible for 40 % of the fuel consumption of heavy duty trucks at highway

speeds.

• 38 % of risk managers consider the availability and price of fuel and power as one of the top future

risks for companies.

• 84 % of consumers in China, India, Malaysia and Singapore say they would accept a higher price for

green products - compared to only 50% in Western countries.

Consumers expect to be presented with solutions

Sustainability – challenges


3.4. Sustainability

1. Logistics counts – it is not a commodity

2. Technological change will be achieved through a concerted drive from

companies, governments and financial institutions

3. Collaboration will increasingly be seen as an enabler to attain sustainability;

even erstwhile competitors will cooperate more closely

4. Business models of logistics companies will change as sustainable

innovations open up new opportunities

5. CO2 labeling will become standardized

6. Carbon emissions will have a price tag

7. Carbon pricing will lead to more stringent regulatory measures
