Driving Digital Transformation in Logistics Through Intelligent Networking, Data Quality, and Standardisation
There’s no denying that the transport sector is a prominent cog across most global industries. As the saying goes, “There is no production without procurement logistics, and no trade without delivery traffic.” Especially as, according to a McKinsey study, 96 percent of freight forwarders surveyed plan to maintain or expand their investments in digital structures, […]
Route Optimisation for Profit, Productivity and Driver Safety
For logistics businesses, utilising route planning and optimisation tools can be the difference between having a satisfied customer or not. And whilst maximising volume density, reducing miles travelled and fuel costs are the most immediate and desired outcomes, the primary goal of optimisation is to improve overall fleet efficiency and achieve customer service objectives. A […]
Ensuring productivity in next generation supply chains
Supply chains must constantly adapt and evolve to meet the demands of a fast changing global landscape. With a steep rise in demand, higher customer expectations and ongoing disruption, there is an increased pressure to ensure better productivity than ever before. To meet these higher customer expectations though, the next generation’s supply chain needs a […]
Enhancing Efficiency in Electric Vehicle Battery Manufacturing Through Simulation
As the demand for electric vehicles (EVs) continues to rise, driven by global initiatives to reduce carbon emissions, the need to improve battery production efficiency has never been greater. In July 2024, one in seven vehicles sold globally was fully electric according to the AutoMotive’s Global Electric Vehicle Tracker (GEVT). However, the UK EV market […]
Enabling the Internet of Everything with flexible chips
An Internet of Everything has long been promised, but progress has been hindered by semiconductor availability, cost, and concerns around sustainability. Could a new approach help to achieve a smarter, more connected future? From smart manufacturing to predictive maintenance, digital transformation is already impacting every facet of business and industry. But the hyperconnected Internet of […]
Out of the Data Jungle: More Interoperability for Resilient Supply Chains
There’s no denying that the transport sector is a prominent cog across most global industries.

Why we need to rethink our concept of innovation.
The importance of R&D cannot be overstated. Not only can it help companies create new products and adapt to the changing demands of customers, it also gives organizations a competitive edge and allows them to grow their market share. However, beyond reinventing products, services and processes, enterprises that have the resources to bring in innovation, […]
Future-proofing industrial operations with an Industrial Data Fabric
Industrial businesses today grapple with the complexity of managing vast and varied data streams generated from their operations. According to Statista, the volume of data generated, consumed, copied, and stored is projected to reach more than 180 zettabytes by 2025. In 2020, the total amount of data generated and consumed was 64.2 zettabytes. The challenge, however, […]
The Digital Dispatcher has Arrived – Here’s What That Means for Logistics
In the long-haul full truckload (FTL) industry, dispatchers have traditionally relied on manual processes and years of experience to navigate a complex regulatory landscape, fluctuating fuel prices and evolving customer demands. While functional, this approach is far from optimal, putting pressure on dispatchers and leading to inefficiencies and missed cost-saving opportunities. But this is finally starting to […]
