Who will be in charge of the warehouse in the future?

January 15, 2025

 

One of the numerous events at Logistics & Automation (January 22nd/23rd) in Zurich will be a panel discussion as part of the GS1 Logistics Talks with Daniel Gilgen, Stefan Mahler (Swisslog) and Lidl Switzerland Logistics Director Norman Peuker. The topic is: Who will be in charge in the future: humans or machines?

However, this is just one of the numerous points that contribute to the added value of the information-rich supporting program for the industry meeting with (including the parallel Empack) around 160 exhibitors.

 

 

The event kicks off on Wednesday, January 22nd, at 9:15 a.m. with an introduction to 2D coding by Jonas Batt, Head of Industry Engagement Consumer Goods/Retail at GS1 Switzerland. Martin Lörtscher, CEO of Hugelshofer, the winner of the 2024 Swiss Logistics Award and a transport company, will join the event at 10:00 a.m. to provide insights into the current state of e-mobility in freight transport. Zafer Bakir, Chief Business Transformation Officer of Lagerhäuser Aarau, will discuss sustainability strategies within the framework of the Lean & Green initiative.
