How can digitalisation make logistics better? What factors are driving innovation and what are some examples of how digitalisation has already changed logistics? Digitalisation ranks among the top logistics industry issues. Together with automation, it is considered the key to successful logistics. But how can companies put digitalisation and automation into practice? And what digital technologies will be needed in future?
A white paper from DB Cargo offers answers to many of these open questions. As a full-service logistics partner that can handle more than just rail freight, DB Cargo shows you what digitalisation and automation can and need to do when it comes to logistics. The technologies are not only important for the goal of decarbonising the transport sector, which is crucial for meeting the German government's climate targets. They are also vital for meeting consumers' needs in the long term.
