A new generation of software interfaces is moving into logistics centers. A few months ago, WITRON launched its interface offensive - architecturally, in the UX process, and in visualization. We discussed that with Dr. Stefan Bauer and Dominik Simbeck.

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.

Switzerland is known throughout the world: For its stable economic system, for the quality, design, and precision of the watches manufactured there, the impressive mountain scenery, and the success of its winter sports athletes. Switzerland also stands for innovation. This innovative strength is also evident in the omni-channel distribution center of Migros Verteilbetrieb AG (MVB) in Neuendorf (near Basel), which, according to MVB Project Manager Alexander Schweizer, belongs to the “unmitigated Champions League” and is one of the most dynamic logistics centers in the world. It was designed and implemented by the logistics lifetime partner WITRON. The main building, which houses the near- and non-food area, supplies more than 700 stores and many thousands of home shopping customers from a range of 100,000+ items per year.
