Panel Discussion: Logistics 4.0 Meets Industry 4.0

Logo
Just as any other industry today, the transportation and logistics industry is facing change – new market entrants, business models, customer expectations, and technologies are emerging. The power lies within the convergence of technologies such as the internet of things, artificial intelligence and advanced robotics. Swiss Post, SBB Cargo and Coop are Swiss companies challenged by this new reality. Their future lies within adapting to progressing customer expectations, technological advancements and a global logistics system.

The panel discussion will host four experts in their individual fields:

•Daniel Gerber (Head of Innovation, Swiss Post) will discuss how Swiss Post addresses these disruptive changes – among others by launching the first commercial urban drone delivery service worldwide.

•Jasmin Bigdon (Head of Corporate Development, SBB Cargo) will show how SBB Cargo uses automation technology to increase feeder logistic efficiency.

•Philippe Huwyler (Director coop@home, Coop) will explain how Coop deals with digitalization on a daily basis.

•Robert Boute (Professor of Operations & Supply Chain Management, Rochester-Bern) will tackle the topic from a theoretical standpoint and explain how the methodologies of the Digital Internet and the physical world converge within the Physical Internet.
