MASTERCLASSES 1 10:00 Everyone has Big Data, but no one has the rightinformation? – Supply chain communication made easy!(Vortrag auf Deutsch)

If a company has already invested a lot of time and money in the digitization ofprocesses, then it is often assumed that system-supported communication with allprocess participants can take place. Surprisingly, however, users find day after daythat communication along the supply chain is often analog. So how does informationget to the right place? We show our pragmatic solution approach: abat LogisticsApplications - aLA for short. A selection of apps for truly system-supportedcommunication and real collaboration.

MASTERCLASSES 1 11:00 Why only digital control has the power to ensure your long-term success(Vortrag auf Deutsch)

The supply chain is becoming increasingly digital, new solutions and business modelsbased on data are arising. The shipper industry demands transparent transportprocesses. Freight forwarders and logistics providers are forced to share data. Onething is clear: the new visibility creates massive potential on both sides. However,threats and risks also come with the exchange of data. Control makes the differenceright here: What can happen if you thoughtlessly disclose your data & networks andwhat can you achieve in return by maintaining sovereignty over your most importantasset? We will show you concrete examples of why digital control is your most relevantsuccess factor for surviving in the modern and connected logistics market in the longterm.

MASTERCLASSES 1 13:45 Innovative logistics processes in SAP S/4HANA, for yourintelligent company(Vortrag auf Deutsch)

In the past, we have been able to experience impressively how quickly the digitaltransformation has caught up with us all. Fortunately, we were also able to observehow agile companies reacted to it and what advantages resulted from it. Completeprocesses, many new products and services, and in some cases entire industries wereadapted to the given situation in a very short time.

SAP offers its customers a platform for precisely this constant change, which makes itpossible to react flexibly to all challenges, especially in our current situation – but alsobeyond. For example, when implementing SAP Extended Warehouse Management(EWM), new processes and functions can be established that bring a decisivecompetitive advantage. Especially when processes in EWM are connected togetherwith an S/4HANA system, there are many opportunities to optimize them and form theplatform for intelligent logistics. These include, for example, appealing dashboards fora 360-degree overview and solutions such as SAP Warehouse Insights for theautomated optimization of routes and warehouse processes.

In his MasterClass, Carsten Manske reveals which innovative logistics processes arewaiting for you in an SAP system landscape and how they help you implement anintelligent and future-proof logistics strategy.

MASTERCLASSES 1 16:30 RetroFit vs. New System - a second life for yourintralogistics system(Vortrag auf Deutsch)

Many automated warehouse systems have been operating tirelessly for a long periodof time. They perform an indispensable key function for the material flow in thecompany. Uninterrupted operation is an essential component of economic success andavailability is one of the performance indicators for companies. Older intralogisticssystems confront companies with challenges such as decreasing availability.Especially when downtimes occur as a result of outdated control technology, the riskbecomes visible due to discontinued components. Many operators therefore have todeal with the question of whether the use of new plant components or a plannedmodernization is an option for them in the long term. Both options contain opportunitiesand risks. The professional evaluation has to be made individually for each plant andeach operator.

MASTERCLASSES 2 14:45 A tsunami of shipments is inundating general cargodistribution networks. Automating the dispatch processhelps put more freight on the road(Vortrag auf Deutsch)

Chronic overtaxing of dispatchers in the multi-drop delivery business is avoidable. Inspring of this year the German Transport and Logistics Association DSLV reported ayear-on-year increase of shipment volumes in German LTL distribution networks of upto 20per cent. For part-load distributors, this boils down to an enormous increase of theburden on resources and personnel. More items are left at the depot overnight or evenlonger, and dispatchers are being pushed beyond all reasonable limits.

In times of progressing digitalisation, this situation is crying out for help from IT. Butwhere do you start, considering the complexity and unpredictability that characterisethis segment? Where can you automate? Artificial Intelligence opens up new optionsfor handling data, increasing efficiency and lowering costs. Self-learning software cananticipate what type of cargo should be loaded onto what vehicle under whatconditions. It can take over many steps of the vehicle and route planning process andtake pressure off the dispatchers. Smartlane Transport Intelligence technology unlocksfar-reaching optimisation potential, enabling huge resource utilisation improvements.
