In addition to current trends, automation solutions for intralogistics will be presented at the Logistics Summit in Düsseldorf. The shortage of skilled workers is becoming increasingly important. Artificial intelligence has been offering a new approach to meeting this challenge for some time. Unitechnik has already integrated AI solutions for some customers. The general contractor will present his solutions with a lecture on the topic of “Addressing the shortage of skilled workers through AI and innovative concepts”.
AI predictions and automation
Unitechnik is presenting two modern technologies at the trade fair that are intended to counteract the shortage of skilled workers in the long term. On the one hand, forecasting with the help of artificial intelligence plays an important role. Intelligent systems can, for example, predict the capacity utilization of companies. This helps not only to optimize personnel and resource planning, but also to make work processes more flexible and efficient. Through data-supported decisions, the number of skilled workers can be planned in phases, which, among other things, reduces overtime and enables optimal staff deployment.
Automatic loading of trucks
The conditions under which a truck is loaded vary from company to company: from which side should the truck be loaded, how heavy and large is the load, what shape does it take? A universally applicable or easily customizable application is currently missing on the market. The new Unitechnik initiative “Automatic Truck Loading” is now dedicated to this topic. A total of six companies with different requirements have joined the project. They want to work closely with Unitechnik on a versatile automation solution for truck loading.
