Loadcarrier onspection: Closing the Gap: VisionPorts from Invisium - smart automation for the logistics of tomorrow.Our AI-supported camera gateways capture pallets fully automatically and in real time - directly as they pass through. State-of-the-art 2D/3D technology recognises codes, dimensions and quantities with maximum precision and provides seamless photo documentation around the clock. This creates valuable digital basic data directly at the warehouse gate. Thanks to robust, standardised hardware, VisionPorts can be integrated quickly and is flexibly scalable. For more transparency, lower costs and real relief in day-to-day operations.

AI Meets Optimization: From Hype to Measurable Supply Chain Impact: Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize supply chain planning. AI can analyze data, identify patterns, and generate forecasts. While AI agents can handle initial tasks, they struggle with subsequent decisions, such as adjusting plants, rerouting logistics, or shifting inventory, because they cannot reliably account for complex constraints and conflicting objectives. OPTANO bridges this gap. We combine AI with mathematical optimization to develop planning software that transparently identifies the optimal solution from among millions of possibilities. Using real-world projects, we demonstrate how this combination stabilizes supply chains, reduces costs by 10–15%, and lowers CO₂ emissions. This is how hype turns into tangible supply chain impact!
 

Logistics Connects – Companies as Life Savers: On the road or in our veins — a smooth flow keeps life moving. This is where Blut transportiert e.V. comes in: uniting the logistics sector with the vital mission of engaging employees and companies in blood and stem cell donation. Through donor registrations, blood drives and initiatives that raise awareness, logistics companies — as well as logistics departments in industry and retail — make a real contribution to saving lives. The board will share the mission behind the association, highlight achievements to date and outline opportunities for your company to get involved. Discover how logistics, through Corporate Social Responsibility, becomes the strongest link in the most vital supply chain of all: our blood supply.
