Physical AI trifft operative Logistikpraxis Mit der Technologie von Sentics schaffen wir bei Schnellecke Logistics mehr Transparenz und Sicherheit in der Intralogistik, von der automatisierten Ladungsdokumentation bis zur Kollisionsprävention. Im Interview spricht unser Vice President Group IT & Digitization, Karsten Keil, darüber, wie Physical AI konkret zum Einsatz kommt und welchen Mehrwert sie im operativen Alltag schafft. Danke an Sentics für die starke Zusammenarbeit! 🤝 Mehr dazu im Interview ⬇️ #SchnelleckeLogistics #PhysicalAI #Intralogistik #Digitalisierung

Same process, ten different sites, ten different ways of running it. That's the gap Schnellecke Logistics is closing with #DORIS: a central shopfloor management software that brings structure, standardized data entry, and existing systems together in one place. No more scattered spreadsheets and site-specific workarounds. DORIS unites core shopfloor routines, including task management, Gemba walks, incident and PDCA tracking, problem solving, KPI monitoring, and workforce planning, in a single tool, used the same way at every location. Built and tested with real shopfloor teams. Rolled out worldwide in 2027. Where do you see the biggest potential for standardizing shopfloor management at your own sites? #SchnelleckeLogistics #ShopfloorManagement #Digitalization #ContractLogistics #ProcessOptimization 

How much efficiency remains when resilience is lacking? Efficient processes remain a key factor in building competitive supply chains. Yet in an environment shaped by fluctuating volumes, short notice changes, and complex dependencies, efficiency alone doesn't hold the line. It's a familiar pattern across complex supply chains: a missing component halts a process that depends on precise timing. A short-term volume shift ripples through several supplier tiers before anyone can react. In precision-timed operations, the margin for error is thin, and it keeps getting thinner. A resilient supply chain must detect changes early, make their impact transparent, and enable rapid operational decision-making. This requires more than additional inventory or spare capacity. What matters are end-to-end information flows, clearly defined processes and structures that continue to work even when operations no longer go according to plan. At Schnellecke Logistics, we combine operational experience with standardized processes and digital solutions. One example is our shopfloor management software #DORIS. It consolidates relevant information, standardizes operational routines, and helps our teams identify deviations early, assess them transparently, and address them in a structured way. The result isn't just more efficient processes, but also provides a stronger foundation for remaining operational and responsive when conditions change – for us and the partners that rely on us. Because the key question is not: efficiency or resilience? It's: How do we design processes that are efficient while remaining adaptable and stable? More insights into DORIS and digital shopfloor management will follow. Stay tuned! #SchnelleckeLogistics #SupplyChain #Resilience #Digitalization #Logistics  

🚛⚡ 6 Monate E-Lkw im Praxiseinsatz – unser Fazit ist eindeutig. Im April haben wir unsere ersten beiden E-Lkw in die Flotte aufgenommen. Nach einer erfolgreichen Testphase sammeln wir inzwischen wertvolle Erfahrungen im täglichen Einsatz. Besonders freut uns das Feedback unserer Fahrer: 💬 „Wir wollen nichts anderes mehr fahren.“ Eine bessere Bestätigung für diesen Schritt können wir uns kaum wünschen. ✅ Für den Nahverkehr sind E-Lkw aus unserer Sicht schon heute die richtige und wichtige Lösung. Sie haben sich in unserem Alltag bewährt und leisten einen wichtigen Beitrag auf dem Weg zu einer nachhaltigeren Transportlogistik. ✅ Im Fernverkehr gibt es dagegen noch Herausforderungen. Neben den aktuell begrenzten Reichweiten ist vor allem die Ladeinfrastruktur ein entscheidender Faktor. Ihr kontinuierlicher Ausbau ist unerlässlich, denn die derzeit noch unzureichende Verfügbarkeit von Ladepunkten bleibt einer der größten Bremsfaktoren für die breite Einführung von E-Lkw im Fernverkehr. ✅ HVO100 bietet hier bereits heute eine sinnvolle Brückenlösung, um Emissionen zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig die Anforderungen des Langstreckenverkehrs zuverlässig zu erfüllen. 🚛 Stillstand gibt es bei uns nicht: Bereits im August werden weitere Fahrzeuge unsere Flotte ergänzen. Wir freuen uns darauf, unsere Erfahrungen weiter auszubauen und den Wandel hin zu nachhaltigeren Transportlösungen aktiv mitzugestalten. #ELkw #Logistik #Nachhaltigkeit #HVO100 #Transport #SchnelleckeLogistics
