TGW Logistics & Industry 4.0

In our most recent episode of Logistics Business Conversations, host Peter Macleod engages in an in-depth discussion with David Hibbett, CEO of TGW Northern Europe, focusing on the transformative role of Logistics Automation in facilitating the transition to Industry 4.0. We discuss the challenges and transformations in the logistics sector, including labor shortages, the increasing demand for flexibility and efficiency, and the importance of cost-effectiveness.

Furthermore, the dialogue delves into how automation technologies, specifically TGW’s Live Pick system, facilitate improvements in operational flexibility, scalability, and overall efficiency, allowing users to introduce additional bots to increase pick rate or add more racking to increase scale. The discussion also examines the growing importance of software and algorithms in logistics, as well as the critical considerations surrounding data security in an increasingly digitalized environment. David highlights the benefits of the shared data for users of their standardised system, allowing all operators to learn from each other.

From discussions around software and algorithms to data security, the episode provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and opportunities in the evolving landscape of logistics. This episode is a much listen for all businesses that value flexibility and need to increase labour efficiency.
