WITRON’s logistics podcast

WITRON’s logistics podcast is published once a month and always focuses on different logistics aspects. We report on customer projects, on our strategy, but also on developments in the industry. Sometimes, texts, interviews, or infographics also emerge from the podcast. We share knowledge.

If you want to be part of our podcast, please feel free to contact us. We are always on the watch for interesting topics from retail, industry, or logistics. Our episodes are available at all known podcast catchers like Apple, Spotify, or Google, or on our website.

News from the ideas room

In WITRON’s ideas room, you will find many different topics around logistics. For us, the ideas room is a knowledge platform. It was launched in 2019. There, our guests discuss about technology, processes, digitalization, and management topics with the editorial staff or WITRON managers. Scientists as well as many international customers of WITRON talk about their experiences. Migros, Asko, or Spar report on their logistics strategies.

In addition, suppliers are also always part of the round table discussions. The posts are enriched with podcasts, infographics, videos, and surveys. The ideas room is thus a multimedia platform for retail logistics that does not yet exist in this form. If you would like to be part of the ideas room yourself, please contact our marketing department. We are always looking forward to exciting logistics topics. Important to us: The focus is not on products, but on strategies and technologies.

Expanding a highly dynamic multi-temperature logistics center for roughly 1,200 stores during ongoing operations with an increase in pick performance from 480,000 to almost 625,000 cases daily, is a tremendous challenge as such. But when, in addition, store and online orders continue to soar due to various lockdowns and the teams are only allowed to work with severe limitations because of Covid 19 restrictions, then a lot more than just technical and organizational knowledge is needed on both sides for the project to succeed. WITRON and the food retailer COOP from Norway have demonstrated this impressively.

AI in intra-logistics - Customer benefit is decisive!
Helmut Prieschenk from WITRON and Franziskos Kyriakopoulos, founder of 7LYTIX from Linz (Austria), discuss ChatGPT, machine learning in logistics, and demand forecasting for food retailers. Both agree. AI technology offers a wide range of optimization potential - also for optimizing processes in the distribution center as well as the entire supply chain. But high data quality is not the only crucial factor. Equally important for the data models are the experiences of people and the requirements of consumers.

Seven theses on ergonomics in logistics
Johannes Schweiger is managing director of WITRON Service GmbH + Co. KG and talks about ergonomics in the distribution center in the “logistics podcast”. Johannes Schweiger has been with WITRON for ten years. In the interview, he explains that a distribution center is a holistic structure where economical, ecological, and social factors have to be harmonized in order to generate sustainable competitive processes for the operator in the long term: Premium customer service, high availability, leading-edge work processes for employees, resource-friendly processes for nature and the environment. Equally important, he says, is a sound service, maintenance, and operator concept. In accordance with high-performance mechanization, the human-machine interface plays a decisive role here. On this issue, he initiates an important discussion: It’s not just physical ergonomics that matters. Cognitive ergonomics is the challenge facing the industry. The Upper Palatinate states seven theses:
