Find out about affordable and structuring digital transformation solutions for logistics and supply chain companies, with rapid implementation and return on investment, which will help your team to have more control and no longer be penalized for mistakes or unforeseen events.
It's no news to any manager that the digital transformation is completely changing the way work is done in various sectors of the economy. Technology in logistics has also been a key factor in increasing productivity and results for companies.
If this technological scenario began a few years ago, with systems responsible for boosting management and bringing more agility to the whole process, the forecast for the future is no different. Every day, new solutions are being developed and even those intended for other areas of activity are coming to logistics.
The future has already begun and the challenge now is to keep up with what's new so as not to lose ground to the competition. That's why we've put together a list of some of the strongest trends on the market and why they're important for improving team communication, reducing costs, optimizing processes and, of course, boosting your results.
Drones bring two major possibilities to the logistics market. In addition to intelligently monitoring transportation in real time, reporting back to the manager on any problems or stops along the way, they are seen as one of the means of transportation of the future.
Very soon it will be possible to reduce transportation time and costs by making deliveries by drone. Amazon has been trying to put the trend into practice for a few years now, but we still don't have a system of this type in regular operation.
Impossible to ignore, these two technology trends for logistics are already transforming the market. The Internet of Things, or IoT, consists of the use of sensors in objects, allowing for more efficient real-time tracking of the transportation process. A good example would be facilitating steps such as monitoring the status of goods.
In addition to collecting and analyzing data, technology enables the automation of various company processes. As a result, managers are able to reduce costs and gain more agility and intelligence when making decisions.
It may sound strange, but the growing trend can also be used in logistics - in segments such as industry, hydraulic equipment, plastics or derivatives.
The logic of the 3D printer in logistics is that a company's production can be done locally, which would eliminate the need for long delivery journeys, for example. Another aspect is the reduction in stock, since 3D printing allows production on demand.
Finally, the process of robotization in warehouses. It is expected that part of the skilled workers will be replaced by robots over the next few years, which should have a major impact on business dynamics. Several companies already have areas that are almost completely robotized.
Each segment has very particular characteristics and dynamics that need to be understood and respected. Through the Design Thinking methodology, we understand the biggest challenges faced by the logistics segment, generating customized solutions for the business.
