The presentation focused on the current findings of the SKALA project on the networked transport world - automation and autonomization of processes (WP 4) and the eCMR and eFreightFolder project of the Silicon Economy, which impressively demonstrate how uniform standards can help to avoid media disruptions and make the flow of information in the supply chain more efficient. In addition, an initial outlook was provided for the DIGIFLOW project, which is currently being applied for and focuses on linking digital transport information with the automation of financial transactions in the supply chain. The 12 industry experts gained exciting insights into the practical implementation of these approaches and their potential for the future of paperless transport processes.
The event not only provided professional input, but also a platform for exchange with experts from the field of digitalization in logistics. We would like to thank everyone involved for their participation and the constructive dialog! Events like this once again illustrate how important it is to work together on solutions for a digitalized future.
